Spent a good part of today making shots, and here's the end result. Damn, I was very lucky with this shot, managing to time the backfire, brake lights, drift and two photographers taking a picture! Actually, it was all pure luck :D

Final Entry



Preview




I've only just realized you can't really tell if the car is drfting or not from this angle. Well, this is a straight, entering a curve. I have a shot from the front (see thumb) if you need corroboration. Note: this additional thumb is touched in Photoshop... reduced to 800x600 :D

 
hehe, thanks for the added comment next to my name ben. 👍

I hope you guys enjoy the requirements, they are a little bit of a challenge.. but it also gives you an option to be really creative, let your minds run wild.

Good luck!
 
Good luck guys! This is getting very good.
 
G'luck diego. I'm a big noob @ cars...cuz i'm like..only into japanese drift cars or race cars... lol, could anone list production car brands...or what a production car is?
 
Production car = not a race car or a "tuner car". Pretty much everything that you can buy straight from the dealer and that doesn't have stickers on it is a production car. :)

Good Luck to you, too!
 
Uh oh, up against last week's highest scorer, hehe. I'm a bit confused about the bonus points bit, do you mean that we get points if there's someone in the crowd taking a picture?

Clarification: You guys are miss-understanding the requirments. I do not want you guys to drift past a massive crowd of poeple and take a shot.

I want singular spectators standing on the side of the road in the picture. (refer to the banner at the top of the page as an example of what i want)

Bonus Points: If the spectator is holding a camera to his face, OR if the spectator is taking a picture (meaning there is a flash).

Does that help you understand whats going on?

I think BrykeSpike0086's shot isn't valid then. Then again, is mine valid?

I'm only asking right now since there's few pics posted.

You are 100% correct, BrykeSpike0086's is invalid... to be honest, i dont even see a spectator at all. Sorry.

And Diego440 your's is techincally valid, but more suited to the theme, marks would be deducted during marking, since singluar spectators are not included in the photo. Sorry.

And HiyakuShiro your picture is an example of what we want. Thanks
 
HiyakuShiro
Ok, why would you use the same shot as me?

Edit:Can anyone see a difference in the shot besides the cars??
Click to expand...

hey sorry hiyakuShiro i couldnt find a picture with all the criteria for a good photo that included a spectator taking a photo, if its not allowed specialized then i will change it, sorry for the inconveniance....:guilty:
 
Hes right...

theres not many drift corners with spectators...unless you do a Manji like Diego, you have to look hard or drift at Opera PAris which is tricky, or those 2 Italian 'touges'
 
Both of you need to read the rules again (sepctators, as in plural) just not crowds or grandstands,I don't have anyproblem with it MonteClaro I just think your selling your self short by posting the same picture that's all.
 
Thanks a lot, HiyakuShiro... although I must admit at first I wasn't very enthusiastic about the theme... I just looked for weird and different places to shoot the pic, especially since the photographers are in so limited spots on this track. I ended up with something like 30 shots where the drift was okay but the photographer was looking the other way, or not even with the camera on :ouch:

Still, what's a Manji?
