You'll see me in the Bronze Match!

Anyways, good luck folks!

 

[Diogo]

I voted for Aventador and jus , but it was intense. Did you apply aairbrush or something on wheels ?

 

[AerodyManiac]

The Lamborghini is too creepy for me to vote on!

 

[zambuca]

Well done SlipZ 👍

Sorry to hear about misfortune in your family. I hope everything goes well.

Hurry or no hurry - you always create marvelous entries

 

[bmxmitch]

I sooo would've loved to do that match against Slipz. One with only a single car!
But it looks like the kid from denmark did a way better job I could've done. But still, Slipz is just......well...

And Nato? You really surprised me this season. So many awesome shots from you lately. You definitely deserve to be in the finals. (Of course you too Jus )


To all 4 👍

 

[zambuca]

Thank you mitch Noone nails a theme like SlipZ

Gotta say this made me laugh a little:

the kid from denmark

...since I'm probably mr. senior here on GTP

And Jus: I'll see you in the bronze match 👍

 

[Ferrari_458]

Looks like it's going to be the battle of the hosts in the final

 

[Raphaele]

SlipsZtrEm – a master of his trade.


And Nato777 – an upcoming hero!

Aventador = best picture ever on GTP in a long time!

 

[Nato_777]

Great shots again! I'm sure everyone knows by now to check out the fullsize before voting but I'll mention again anyway as Zambuca's and Justins shots especially, look much better full size. 👍
Thanks guys for the compliments, I truly did not expect to get here let alone be in contention for the Final - but it's far from a done deal just yet. Much like Kyle, I haven't had much time for photoshooting throughout the tournament and all my shoots have been rushed. I guess it says something for not over thinking your shots. Fortunately I have had more time to edit my photos once I've taken them and that has surely helped this season.

 

[nissanfanatic]

Holy hell!!! What quality!!

 

[Watchman]

Kyle, I have no words to describe how...

Hehe
When I wrote that, I thought about a Nike campaign we had here in Berlin during the Euro2012.
With every win (or loss) they made a banner and placed them all over the city.
Check here for it: Hungry german youth

Sorry that we kicked you out of the Tournament. But I think you did denmark some justice with beating me

Hehe I see Cool campaign. Nice to see that some companies still have the money to make some good advertising.

Well..........there's no doubt that the right team won back there in Euro2012. I actually thought Germany would go to the final and I'm sure the team will take the title in the future 👍

I vaguely remember you saying something about never getting far in 2.0s and just recently winning your first 2.0, look where you are now man, well done:tup:

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Wow, guys

I didn't expect such a positive response, especially when I first saw the poll go up: Zambuca's shot is incredible, and I felt the over-exposed look I went with was too expected, too safe. Thank you all very much - if I move on, this will be my first-ever time in a Tournament Final

Touching on what Nato said: knowing that I have very little time to shoot these days, I do try to think about it while I'm off doing real-life things, so as not to waste time once I am sat in front of the PS3. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad: my qualifier was something I stumbled upon (open themes are always trouble), but each round, I've had the idea way before I've turned the system on - it's just about matching it up as quickly as possible in-game... although with Trackside Photographer, it wasn't until the last-minute during my shooting that I was able to find a suitable location.

Thanks again, guys, it's really very cool to read all this on my commute today. I do have reviews typed up for each round (though not the qualifier), as soon as I get a decent amount of time in front of a computer, I'll post them up 👍

 

[zambuca]

Congrats SlipZ! You really earned it this time - and it's only fair that you're in the final 👍

The same goes for you Nato!

It will be a very interesting final. The artistic genius vs the photomode wizard

 

[Nato_777]

That was unexpected - this round I had the entry I was the least confident in all tournament and it got my best result in the polls.

Sorry to deny you of a Finals position Justin, I though your entry was very strong and would have had more votes, anyway I wish you all the best in the Bronze match.

Thanks everyone for the votes and the opportunity to contest the Final.

zambuca - you're too kind - I think there's at least 50% of the photomode community that are more photomode wizards than I.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I'm again echoing Nato's comment ( ), you're too kind zambuca! Thank you very much; I'm looking forward to your bronze match, your entries this tournament have been some of my absolute favourites, both in the tournament, and in your entire portfolio 👍

Thank you to everyone who voted

 

[Watchman]

Congratulations guys!

 

[Diogo]

Thanks everyone for the votes and the opportunity to contest the Final.
