I think it's time for some new banners too. What do you guys think?

 

[Bram Turismo]

Noooo, keep them! They're awesome banners, and they remind us of the ol' good days here on GTP

On that, the theme is about blurs, are these gaussian blurs or radial blurs?

 

[Swiss Legend]

hehe...the good ol days. I think I caught the end of them when I first joined. I just dislike the first banner. Love the other two though. Anywho...about the blurs, motion or radial blurs to create the sense of speed.

 

[Skyline49]

I love the Theme and Deadline banners, but I don't particularly like the others.

I'm not good with blur photos. We'll see what happens, though.

EDIT: Just re read: NOISE FILTERS!? You mean that I could add rain if I wanted? (Hypothetical, I probably won't)

 

[Swiss Legend]

There are ways of "making rain" that are within rules yes...

 

[Skyline49]

I just tried, and it was so bad that I think I'll pass on this one.

 

[speedemon08]

can the street tracks be included, like New York?

 

[David48]

That's what the rules mean by "any city course". So yes.

Guess I better do another shot...since I completely forgot it was only with European cars. The shot that was here can be found in my gallery.

[Bram Turismo]

I don't have the time to create something new, so I have to use something nearly 2 years old

FINAL ENTRY

I do remember I have entered a very similar shot in an earlier Tournament, but I can't recall using this shot earlier. If I have, please say so 👍

[waggles]

for future reference, the photo's cannot be edited? The way the rules are stated are confusing to me.

 

[Swiss Legend]

They most certainly can be edited. This competition is basically a "photoshop" competition. The list above in the first post is referring to what tools/adjustments you can use in photoshop/gimp. You just can't use plug-ins for those tools.

 

[grncivic03]

oh ok, i got confused on the note section. lol this a total noob question but what would be the plug-ins? is there a link or something on this forum?

 

[jinjinweiwei]

is there a blur tutorial I can learn from??? I use PS CS3

 

[Swiss Legend]

Photoshop plug-ins are basically add-on programs aimed at providing additional image effects or performing tasks that are hard to do in Photoshop alone. Plug-ins can be opened from within and act like mini-editors that modify the image. 👍

yup...
Motion Blur
Radial/Zoom Blur

 

[grncivic03]

Photoshop plug-ins are basically add-on programs aimed at providing additional image effects or performing tasks that are hard to do in Photoshop alone. Plug-ins can be opened from within and act like mini-editors that modify the image. 👍

so if you edit the image yourself with the allowed options then its ok.

thaks for the info.

 

[Swiss Legend]

👍 you got it.

 

[Muzaffar]

Bram, NTX and LdS: Awesome shots guys. This is going to be one tight battle. 👍

 

[jinjinweiwei]

Bram! your picture is like that cooking guy always says "bam bam bam!"
