Competition 93

Theme chosen by LongbowX

THEME: In their words: "Aerial view.

Take a photo where the camera is above the car."

• Editing: Levels, Curves, Colour Balance, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, Shadows/Highlight adjustments, Cropping, or anything else capable in the development process or with filters and common special lenses (such as gradients) are allowed to be used in Photoshop or other image editing softwares. Other adjustments and effects (such as paintbrush tools) are not allowed to be used in your picture . You may also use Unsharp Mask.
  
  
• Photographs should ideally include some composition and effect - Base the photo on a studio shoot, or even use diorama/composition to create a realistic setting (you could position the model and camera in such a way in an outside setting so that it appears to be a 'real' car)

• No HDR shots.

• Shots must be taken between January 2015 and the present day.

• Work that has been shown previously (outside of the competition) is allowed.

• One entry per competition. You may change your entry as many times as you wish, however the entry you wish to submit should clearly be labelled with "Final Entry".

• Pictures posted should preferably be around 900px on their longest edge. You may link to a larger photograph in the post (I believe this is the size limit allowed by the Photography forum, however it likely hasn't been updated in some time)

• All scales of model are allowed unless specified.

​

Deadline for each bi-weekly competition will be 10:30pm EST on a Monday, poll will be up by 11:00 pm EST
Voting will be open for 5 days, and close on Saturday at 11:00 EST


This competition will close on March 26th, 2018.​

@LongbowX I've got a question about what can and can't be done on this pic.
Should the pic be taken from an view similair to the old GTA games or is anything above the roofline of the car and pointed down also within the rules.

the thing that confuses me is that the terms "aerial" and above the car" are different to me as in the last explaination gives more room to play with perspective. anyway i'm good to go but i'd like to know the specifics before hand. Thanks buddy

@GTP_Dutchy The theme was deliberately vague in this case. Anything taken from above the roofline of the car is fine. So you're free to play with perspective as you wish. Sorry for the confusion though.

Cheers!

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll be working on a few ideas this weekend.

Cheers!

Got no time to shoot some new photos, so had to make do with some old but unreleased ones.

On another note, is there anybody here who cannot upload images onto Flickr? I've tried it with 2 different computers, used different sources, but the image keeps failing to be uploaded, no matter how many retries I've attempted, so I'm pretty sure it's either my account or the website's problem. This is why I have settled with GTP's own file uploading service, and can't provide the full-size version this time.

Edit: I finally managed to upload the photo on Flickr, so I replaced the old one with the one from Flickr.

same here no time to shoot because life happened during the weekend.

anyway was fun to play around for an hour or so.

@GT HP Nut I don't know if your Flickr problem has resolved itself, but I used Flickr for my own image and it seems fine for me.
