I want to see your creativity in capturing the idea of time standing still. I don't necessarily mean shots of a car in motion, because that is typical. I want to see images where there is focus only on the present, not the past or the future. I'm not creative enough to think of examples myself but I know there are people out there with minds much much more creative than mine. ;)

CARS: Any
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTOTRAVEL: Yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Absolutely none whatsoever. :)


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

Have fun! Perhaps something will come when you are not thinking. I am looking forward to the entries. Also I want to add that no car(s) in the shot is also fine 👍
