CLOSED: POLL: Secret Santa Competition Week 74 - Winner - CCShaft7

[Nato_777]

Further explaination of the theme as described by me.

"Just recently I took shome shots of my Viper GTS at an Eifel Circuit track I created for the
shoot, I had set the time of day to 6:00am and the weather to 25% and was quite impressed
with the lighting conditions this gave. So your mission this week is to create yourself an Eifel
track with these settings and go on a photo shoot."

Cars: Any.
Locations: Eifel Circuit (not Kart) set to start @ 6:00am.
Phototravel: No.
Unique Restrictions: Time must start at 6:00am, you can set the weather to
whatever you like - this has quite an effect on the lighting conditions however .

Should this be in the competitions subforum, or is there a particular reason it's out here in the general photomode forum?

Also, is there any feedback you could give me on my entry?

Very good UNEDITED entries though.

Not sure why it ended up out here, could have sworn I was in the competition thread when I posted it.
I'm on my mobile now, I'll post feedback when I'm back on my computer.

@ Beeblebrox237 - yours was very close - it showcased the scenery very nicely - I did find the whole image a little too sharp and lacking any depth of field, the grain was a little too much for my taste too. I think it would have worked better as just a scenery shot and I probably would have put it through - though I never specified that non-car shots were allowed .

@ gamerdog6482 - Obviously trying something different but it really didn't work at all - much too dark with the car almost indistinquishable. We both know you are capable of much better.

@ SolidSnake7735 - Simply too much black space in this one. Unfortunately, although quite an artistic image it wasn't what I was looking for this time - sorry.

i think this is suppose to be stickied too?

It will get stickied when SlipZ posts his polls - I can't sticky my polls as I'm only "Moderately Super" not a "Super Moderator".

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I have to admit, after seeing it again, I also would have toned down the sharpness and noise. Still, hindsight....

Oddly enough, in the camera menu (right before I snapped the shot) the car was fully visible. I don't know why or how, but I couldn't get it visible in the final shot.

I kind of figured it wouldn't make it, but I didn't have time enough to shoot another one.
Thanks for the feedback.👍
