I'm pretty confused by TH and Soloracer's theme, don't understand what you're supposed to do. But it's not me that's going to do it.

And damn, I got really lucky, but a bit unlucky as well. The most general theme, a lot of things you could do, but you could also do it a lot worse than SlipZtrEm. :lol:
 
I think PMC matches 3 & 4 have their requirements mixed up.
 
I don't understand my theme :confused:

As I see it - we just gotta take a shot of a street car in a location with as much barren/empty landscape as possible. I can see both of us at Toscana. ;) Good luck. :)
 
Ahh TH what a theme we have here! I very much look forward to seeing your entry, I have a few ideas brewing already for what I could do for this theme :D

Now I get it, thanks Nato and good luck to you too 👍
 
Some of these themes seem a bit off. And I'm guessing that 3&4 are swapped.

I'll have Prize Cars up tonight or tomorrow. Grand prize will be well worth it so bring your top shots.
 
I know Mitch was worried about having to do another multiple car shot... but here I am, sort of wishing my theme allowed it! :lol:

May have to get it done tonight. Can I get some clarification on exactly what would constitute a "Race Car"? Do the DLC Touring Cars count, or the X2010/11? Or am I only looking at cars with, er, "Race Car" in the name? :p

Good luck, sir Juice-of-Fish :cheers:
 
I can't wait to see the entries from these themes...I might try a few of the themes when I get back to my ps3.

2 More themes of mine, awesome. I better be getting something! That's 12 of mine used!
And DarkR/Nato, That's basically it, just try to get as minimal amount of scenery.

Looking forward to it my friend. I am 20 shots in and finding it a wonderful challenge to achieve what's in my mind's eye. Who knows what will come of this but the journey is awesome. Hope you are having as much fun as I am - best of luck.
 
Gotta say, I'm really looking forward to match 3 of 2.0!

Good luck to all photographers!

Sorry guys, match 3 & 4 where mixed up, make sure you re-read the requirements again. :ouch:

Like honky said, only two Holden and Ford Falcon race car.
Now i wonder why the heck PD decide to ditch Falcon road car in GT5. =_=
 
Okay, thanks for clarifying that. But what kind of angles are we allowed to do?

This? This? This? or this? Please excuse the self-promotion. :lol: Just how are we supposed to display the "speed"? :dunce:

I think the best is using panning mode 1 but it's up to you to decide.
Just a friendly answer. :dunce:
