Further explaination of the theme by mazda787.

"Take photos from angles you don't usually see. What this means can be very open, but we
all know what the usual ones are: side shots, back/front 3/4th shots, top down shots, extreme
closeup to the ground/near the car shots, dead on front-back shots. Use your best judgement
to decide whether what you see is usual. Make creative use of track/location objects and/or
other cars, etc."


Cars: Any.
Locations: Any.
Phototravel: Yes.
Unique Restrictions: Multiple cars ok, any track, in motion or still, at least one car
needs to be in picture (full or partial to a reasonable degree where it is easy to
see that it is a car).

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.

  • Entries for the competition this week must be sent to the Judge mazda787 Via
    Private Message and not posted in this thread, any pics posted in this thread will not be
    considered for the poll.
  • Your PM must consist of a preview image no bigger than 500px at the largest side with a
    direct link to the full size image.
  • Your first entry will be your last, you will not be allowed to change your entry so be happy
    with it.
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • Do not use a photo from your Gallery or post your photo shoot in your Gallery until after
    the competition (and poll if you made it) has closed.
  • 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.
  • Winner chooses the following week's theme and becomes Judge for that week.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Judge will select their favourite 15 entries and PM to the Host for the poll.
  • The poll entries will then all be hosted by me so that links cannot be traced to the owners
    of the photos.
  • 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.
  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • It is also recommended to turn on the "privacy" of your entry image. Flickr users will need
    to provide the judge with a direct link to the fullsize image when set to private as the link
    used with the Share option won't be accessible to the judge/host.

  • No post-GT5 editing, besides proportionally resize and rotate, is allowed.

👍 looking forward to your entries. 0 so far.
 
Lol.. Gotta narrow my choices ..i have one somewhere..and I have no doubt that others are doing the same
 
Mother of God, I was not expecting something like this, but anyways. Photo Entered. Hope it'll get me into the poll this time.:nervous:
 
Not too many entries so far...I got a request to provide example photos for but I will wait on that in hopes of not influencing potential entries.

yeh, hold back on that if I were you..... the SSC is a bit of a slow burner but you may find it perks up a bit on Sat/Sun :sly: Guess people like to bag their shots for the 2.0 etc before commiting to this.

I like the idea of this theme so will definitely get an effort in before deadline 👍

The other thing about SSC is that you can't change your entry so people aren't so quick to submit their entries until they are sure about them and because you can't see (get inspiration from) others entries it can take a little longer to come up with something. ;)
 
I can see that happening now...the entries are starting to trickle in.
 
Entry sent.
 
submitted.
 
Entry sent:)
 
Closing in 6 hours. Thanks for the entries so far 👍
 
I sent.
 
Closed
 
So it closed 18 hours ago, just wondering...wheres the poll.
 
It's coming, I just had to check something with mazda787 before posting it. :)
