So basically, anything automotive related, as long as there's movement in the photo. Is this correct? Or am I totally wrong on this one?
 
I believe you are correct. Of course we'll have to wait for confirmation, but that was my interpretation as well.

The subject must be moving, as opposed to static, like at a show. If you've taken a shot of a close up part of the car that is moving, like a cambelt, but the car is stationary, that's fine - the subject is moving. If the subject isn't a car but is automotive related and moving - including people - go for it. I hope that helps.

I have a question :

Why can we not post bigger pictures?
As there are only a few participating in the competitions it would not have a big effect?
 
I have loads of photos that fit this category, but I have decided to enter one that I took specifically for the contest. I got this one last night. Not perfect, but I quite like it...

...And to answer above the reason why that is. I don't want to have to change the rules when more/less people are participating. And I think having large images flowing around looks kind of cluttered in the thread. But even more importantly, I think smaller images work best for polls. Having large images for the poll doesn't make it easier to vote, or to load. Those are my reasons, anyway.

Well if the comp is still open I might as well contribute as well. This is the only bit of motor sport I've shot in about a year so what the hell, it will have to do.

I'll enter something in a bit too...
 
People are strange. But thanks guys... I will make a point on closing them more regularly, regardless of entry number - as I said in the model thread yesterday.

Also, Calendar needs to be started. Well really, it already needed to have been started. Eep. I really don't know if people are interested though.
 
^ :lol: Well, the thread wasn't closed and there was no mention of being closed... So then people start to assume... ;)

I'm up for it again. :)
 
So, is this competition still going to happen? People are still submitting pictures... :p
 
Its going to be the largest poll we've had in a while. I'd just like to say hello to people again :p
 
Yeah prett full this time.
And most came in the last minute.


What's the calander thingy ??
 
I'm just doing the usual thing here. I say it closes on Wednesday, but then I actually close it today...because there were so many stragglers I just ended up doing that all the time.

Final Entry




I suppose for the calendar I should just post a thread and contact the necessary people...I should probably contact them first, actually.



Anyway, this is closed now, I think.
