Damnit! I've been working on an entry for several days that's been laying around for weeks now :indiff:

Oh well, 90's cars it is then!
 
I guess no one wants to enter 2.0 rules...lets see if at least we have 8 entries. Zero so far...
 
c´mon guys, only two entries so far (mine is one of them)...don´t be afraid, enter:tup:
 
EDIT: I now have a respectable entry in. Maybe not on the level of LdS or Swiss or even NTX, but nonetheless a good picture.

Can't wait to see skyline! Not that I'll know, but it'll be revealed after the poll.
anywho...I got my entry in!
 
Nah, I can guarantee that it'll be good 'ol number four. Wait, four is good here >_>

I'm actually surprised. I have a corner and I managed to noise filter and blur it very well. It actually looks like it's a semi-circle blur. I could see it going somewhere, maybe.
 
Ach, I just realized my car doesn't fit the theme! I'll post it up to show y'all now.

Does that mean I get another entry?

I probably won't edit another shot, though. I don't have anything good to work on.

I've finally found a car that photographs well. I've sent in a new entry. This one fits the theme and everything.

It's not so much well done as it is really cool looking.

Where did all my good PS work come from? I've never really been doing this well.

I didn't even know this was up and running until Nuno dropped a PM my way. Even still, I'm going to have to think about it due to masses of mock exams coming up in the next few weeks which I should be revising for. I want to enter though, even if my entry is rubbish.

Too bad the car's a little unsharp, but that's a freagin' curve blur right there! 👍 How did you come around to it?

Exams or entering the best damm Tournament on earth??? Do I need to answer:sly:

Have your time Speed...enter if you can of course:)
 
I did three parts in tune with how the light worked. Two at more than 90 degrees to each other and a final one with less noise than the rest at an intermediate angle.
 
It's a shame you couldn't deselect the car for the blurs. I ahve a feeling it would way better if the car was sharper and clearer.
 
That's how the original pic was. The contrast just brings it out. Nothing done to the car except sharpening.
 
As I said, it was better in the original - the contrast makes it look more severe when it isn't bad.

While you're online, check out my story in Race Reports and comment on it. I've got to go change the title of it to say I've got Part3 up.
