GT4 PhotoMode Competition: Week 16 Poll

[Slick6]

Vote!​

Theme: "2 Door Production Cars on Original Tracks"

As far as voting goes, I have made it final, If you vote for yourself, winning or losing, your vote will not count so you may as well not even vote then. The true winner should win with other people's support, not theirs. If you don't like this rule, don't participate. This will be enforced.

People should vote for the quality of the pic...

[buggymaster]

cheers to the 2 way traffic pic, really puts a new perspective on these photos. instead of racing on a track it just looks like a wooded highway, diffrent feel to it imo. 👍

 

[jessekatianda]

Too bad that the Prowler picture that got selected here is my least favorited. But there are still many other great candidates though. Cheers.

I voted for the Ruf at El Capitan. That one and the DB9 pic stood out, but there just wasn't enough background in the DB9 pic IMO. The car is gorgeous though

 

[EVO Lancer]

Hey! I made it into the top 20! Mine is the Eclipse!

Congrats to those that made it and deserved it...and I think some of you just got lucky. Maybe it's because I'm a graphic design major and I look for things like quality, pixelation, balance, symmetry, focal point, etc. etc.

Damn right mintee...there are a couple of pics that dont even belong on there...makes me wonder if people are just looking at the pics without blowing them up...

 

[RenesisEvo]

I might be inclined to agree... I'm also fed up of seeing entries where someone has blatantly upped the contrast to a stupid level. But what can you do??

2 weeks in the top20, 2 weeks out.... next week maybe???

That's what I meant when I said people should vote for quality, not just because the picture is "funny".

think you were on about my picture there i know there wasnt alot of bg in the picture but it was the only productive shot in the whole of the photomode

Whohoo! finally made the top 20, I was quite pleased with my photo I decided to use a different angle, and I'm a big fan of the Mercedes SLR 👍 Thanks to anyone who votes for my picture

 

[slo-car]

I don't see what the discussion is about. I liked those 20 pics, I picked them.

When you win, then you pick whatever you want -- as for me I'll pick what I like, not what you like.

So, for everyone that is butt-hurt that they didn't make it: Try harder; to those that think they could have made a selection: win a competition, then you will be able to make the selection -- not now. Sorry.

for everyone that is butt-hurt that they didn't make it: Try harder

"Try Harder" - easier said then done.

A camera is not like a racing car - there is no limit to explore, you can't be any better by doing endless laps. Yes, practise helps, but sometimes you need a bit of luck too. I spend quite some time composing shots, adjusting everything to get a good, intelligent angle on things. But I stand the same chances as someone who just bashes the select button at a random point, goes "ooh thats nice", and hits the X button. I'm sure not everyone does this, but you get the idea.

It's meant to be art... and art teachers are not supposed to give bad grades just because they don't like it. It's about all those things that were mentioned - those are what make truly great photos. But many a blind eye has been turned.

EDIT: an example....


My Nismo doing a bit of an outrageous powerslide. The car is on the right of the photo to emphasis the sideways left-to-right movement. Slow shutter speed to give some sense of speed and to ensure the wheels look like they are spinning.
I positioned the camera to include the MOTUL sign, since the car is MOTUL sponsored. I also put the camera to the height to make the yellow/black arrow appear above the rear of the car, but not so high to keep the sweeping effect and to put the horizon near the centre. Finally, to enhance the view of the drift, the camera angle was positioned to almost align with the front wheels, so as to show how sideways the car was, but still not so far round as to obscure the MOTUL sign greatly. Bit of a balancing act.

That's photography.

I don't critize your judgement on this one! The selections are fine with me!

I think this week as pook as far as the quality is concerned but what I critize is the choice of the voters, I mean we should base our vote on quality like somebody else said, not the "funny" factor.

I mean the two way traffic is a funny photo, but what about quality?

No reflections, lame colors, no quality blurr, lack of details and so on.

Your pic is good, just not from a quality point of view.

Originality it's good.

 

[atlop]

It's a bit difficult to try harder when you don't know what the previous winner likes. The way it's now it's all about what one person thinks is a good shot and we can't know in advance. I'm not hurt because my shot did not make it, but I'm really surprised the one picture (not mine) that I thought clearly was best of them all did not make it to top 20.

 

[RenesisEvo]

I think there are some good entries, and I am not voicing my distaste at not being chosen. As said above, some entries are great and never appear, some you wonder what they are doing in the top 20.

 

[Div is back]

Renesis you completly summarized what I think.

I tried to explain why the "two way traffic" pic is not very good quality wise.

 

[Jase Rowley]

I vote for, White BMW, it look so good

 

[Randymcchickenf]

Mines the elan and ginneta at the bottom, 0 votes, lol. someone take pity

 

[jmx2222]

good luck to all competitors

for sure: the best pic will win

 

[vr6gti72]

Nice...I made the top20, I dont even care if I dont get a vote. As long as its in the final selection

Good luck to the winner.

 

[kavster05]
