Further explanation of the theme, provided by SMfan:

CARS: Any (probably not FWD)
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTOTRAVEL: No
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: At least 2 drifting vehicles in motion!

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  • Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

What you may not do to a photo:
  • Alter the geometry of the car. No stickers, or body modifications not available in game.
  • Add shapes or objects from outside of GT5, signatures excepted.
  • Add lens flares or "artistic" filters to image.
  • Remove items from shot (scenery, other cars).
  • Use more than 1 image (HDR, photo-stitching, multi-exposure).
  • "Creative cropping". The main "image" must be four-sided, with 90-degree, upright corners.
  • Selective car colour changing: masking different parts to create racing stripes or similar.

What you may do to a photo:
  • Crop and/or resize an image.
  • Adjust the level or curve values.
  • Alter the colour tone of the image (gradient maps, photo filters, colour balance, etc).
  • Car body colour change (all stickers/design features must remain, see "Remove Items" rule).
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, shadow/highlights.
  • Enhance shadows or highlights (dodge and burn tools in Photoshop, for example).
  • Add noise and/or diffuse glow.
  • Add a post-game tilt-shift blur, or apply a motion blur to a stationary Photomode shot.
  • Make use of Layer Blend Modes.
  • Use a Sharpening filter and/or tool.
  • Scale or enlarge rims.
  • Remove or modify license plates.
  • Remove the GT watermark.
  • Add a personal signature.
  • Clean up or fix jaggies, texture pixelation, or colour separation.
  • Add a vignette effect.

O.o i suck @ drifting but i got a couple old shots I can use from my club, if that's ok?
 
Check again the OP, it has both classic and H2H style poll banners. :indiff:

Yeah, I saw that, it's just a mistake, it's a classic poll for sure - SlipZ asked me to give him a classic poll theme.
 
As I see A LOT of entries so far I can offer you guys help in drifting online. Hit me if you wanna go drift some. I don't wanna be the author of the hardest theme ever.:D
 
Sorry about that folks - if anybody caught it, I had mixed up the template when posting the thread (used the blue PMC one), and had quickly cut/pasted the 2.0 back in here, without remembering to delete one of the rules banners.

Sorted!
 
Cool -- thx for that!

I don't think I'll make the poll with it though xD

Should probably clean up the jaggies that the smoke causes around the cars; otherwise nice shot!

Man, this was just a shameful theme choice by me...:ouch:
:nervous:
Shoulda gone with something a LOT easier. Btw, if you wanna drift with a replay there's no chance to find a random guy in a lobby to do it, you gotta ask someone first.
 
Hi SMfan, I try to join the online drift race and watch the race but seem I am unable to save the replay. Is it possible if you can upload a replay file so that I can take some shots from it? Thanks :cheers:

Not sure if the rules allow it.:confused:
But if it's possible to do it, I'ma check for some replays.

It's allowed as long as the ijkhk4 takes the photo.
It's been a trend in CCCL competition quite sometime, if the theme require DLC cars or tracks and the entrant doesn't have any. :)

The one at Tsukuba? Never managed to get any good pictures from that shoot.
 
Here you go

A link to a couple of replays of two or more cars drifting simultaneously.​

Gotta say say the one on R246 may be pretty much useless though. But the one at Tokyo Bay is pretty good.​

Need a good timing on that. :boggled:
The track lighting didn't suit my editing style but i'll try my best. :indiff:

You got that one right in SSR-5 though. >_>
 
Oh man, I have so many photos I could use for this comp. :dopey:

Thank you so much. I will try to take some shots with the replay. I really love this theme. Rarely has chance to take multiple cars shot since I always play alone. :cheers:

Try to import the replay but seem my Asian version of GT5 cannot import the Russian replay file. Anyway, thanks for uploading and I guess I won't join the 2.0 for this week.:indiff:

Do you think there may be a problem in the file name? What kind of an error do you see?
