CLOSED: POLL: CCCL Competition: Week 77 - WINNER: zambuca

[Nato_777]

Further explanation of the theme, as described by McZachenF138:

"I have no idea what prompted me to take this car to this track a couple months ago, but I was
so surprised how well it turned out. American Muscle at it's finest tossed into one of the world's
largest cities with a polar opposite car culture. Blocked off from its infamous traffic and congestion,
take this classic Mopar into the heart of Tokyo and hang on!"

CAR: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
LOCATION: Tokyo R246

All these shots are fantastic considering they're un-edited .

What the hell is up with this car and the inside of the wheel??? I have never really noticed this before but where is the hub etc? All you can see is a big black biscuit. A couple of shots were ruined by it in my opinion. On a lighter note, I voted for Bullets entry, very cool.

Alas.. no poll for me... any feedback

 

[Katiegan]

Looks like I didn't make it to the poll this time. Ah well, the ones that did are pretty damn good! Took me a while to decide on which one to vote for. 👍

Any feedback?

Any feedback?

One word: aliasing.

:@:driftinziggy: Yours was honestly one of the last few I had to cut to make the poll. The photo is good and has a sense of speed, but maybe if you lightened it up just a bit and shot it at a lower angle, it'd be in the poll. Actually, the color and wheel combo of your Challenger was my favorite this week! 👍

:@:wolfdragon97: I always love the look of the monochrome filters in the game, but it is just too difficult to use them effectively without over exposing parts of the image. Unfortunately, I think that is what happened here. The smoke just distracts from the overall picture too much. This just wasn't a picture meant to be in monochrome.

:@:nissanfanatic: Yeah, I know; that is a terrible problem with this car. My dad and I (and I suppose my mom too) actually own a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T albeit not fully restored and thus not drivable and I can assure you the wheels look nothing like that!

:@:cphbullet: Your shot actually has quite a bit in common with a couple of the ones I took last month which was the inspiration for this theme as you may already know.

In fact, here are a few from that shoot:

Ahh, okay then. I see your point now, actually. Cheers! 👍

Wut!? My biscuit wheel is leading I honestly think PD made some kind of error when they designed the wheels. Especially now that I've been exploring the interiors, it makes no sense that the wheels have to look so bad...

 

[Yauma9]

My photo looks bland near Zambuca's one.

 

[Chad D.]

Well with all the good photo's I'm not to surprised that I didn't make it. But could someone tell me what I could of done better? I tried a new angle because if I did it the other way the shadow would get all messed up and jagged, so I was a little limited. Was it because the wheels weren't turned at least to show a little countersteer? I wish I had, but I thought the angle would show the slide through that turn a little better. Maybe I should of softened the suspension setting, who knows?

Try panning Mode 3 and lower the shutter speed to 1/60. 👍

This car has a couple of issues. Hasn't anyone else noticed that the front quaters are lighter than the rest of the car?

Alright, I'll remember that, thanks
