isnt that what everyone does?...its a picture of a car...a VW...if you like it, vote for it, its not like im getting any beneifits out of this...
Someone send this noob back to the 'drifting' forum, please?

If you're going to steal someone else's work, at least choose a good photo. That VW... thing (Golf? I don't know) totally ruins the scene.

haHAhaHAhaahAHAhaahAHA... err... damn :sick:

well, thanks for the comments, Sun. Skyline, you are winning so far. Suzie, that BMW is MEAN!
 
very good! the cloud adds a lot, but, dude, I'd enter the wet Vette bonnet, again XD
can that be done?
 
Thanks! I have two other pictures of that car, and one of them is my backup if something really nice pops up before the end of this week. ;)

Man, I wish the Jaguar wasn't so dirty...
 
I suppose no one read the 'Since this is such a general subject, let's specify a bit so we can return to this subject in the future. Make them exterior shots, prefibly most of, if not all of, the car.' part.

Eh, if everyone wants to change that, we can, but I had stated that so that one day if we felt like coming back to an automotive catagory, we could say car engine, emlem, close up, something in that sort. Being a video game forum, I figured cars would be one of the more popular, visited catagories.
 
i thought u were supposed to do the WHOLE CAR?!?! i'm confused :(

This week, since I'm so freaking original, it's cars. Since this is such a general subject, let's specify a bit so we can return to this subject in the future. Make them exterior shots, prefibly most of, if not all of, the car.

I dont think it matters if it's the whole car or not, why should it? If showing only part of the car is how someone wants to show their work why should they be limited to that? It's not like the subject was cars and someone posted a dog, a tailight, headlight, side of the car etc. is still car related so I don't think it should matter.
 
Yes, being limited to only taking photos of the whole car limits the creativity somewhat. You can't take a photo of every side of a car anyway, so why not focus on the interesting details and angles. It's best to have a subject matter with less restrictions.

Here's mine. A Skyline prowling the streets at night, looking for prey.

FINAL ENTRY

Large, but slightly lower quality version can ne found here:

 
Hot diggity.
That's hot.

Like diggity.

Is that the maximum resolution of that picture? Because that's seriously a great shot. The beams, I was about to say, kind of screwed it up, but the interruption makes it look more authentic; and in a way, stealthy. I still wish they were slimmer. But you can't do a whole lot better for candid.

Sweet.
 
I think the beams make the picture. It gives the car the 'stealthy' look as you say. Thanks for the comments. Yes, I have a bigger picture. I'll get it sorted out.
 
Gentlemen.

I have a request of a sort. Like previously stated, having a file size limit, or use of thumbnails would be great. The filesize limit is now 100KB, that is, without use of thumbnails and linking. If you just make a thumb then link to as high a resolution as you want, we'll be good. However, if you link to a high res image, for the poll, I'm going to resize/optimize your images to a point that they're all around 100kb or lower.

Not necissarly anything hard or important on your part, more of a notice. It was kind of a, think about the dial-upers thing. For example, I got word the poll of week one took half an hour to load on one person's computer. Is that cool with ya'll?

Keep up the great work! 👍
 
So, as mine stands with the small preview and the thumbnail link to the larger image, it's ok?
 
My fullsize picture after clicking teh thumbnail is 40kb, so that's under the limit.

chaser_fan, that's one heck of a fine picture, probably will get my vote. 👍

👍

I'm just saying, if you don't resize/optimize your image to meet the poll requirements, I'll go ahead and do it. There is no resolution limit, but the size limit.
 
@Cano & teazR: From this very moment I began to hate you guys. The reasons are simple. You two took REALLY amazing photos from two amazing cars at two amazing angles (which I wanted to use) at two amazing places with a just amazing appearance in black and white. I'm scared by all this, erm... amazingness. :D Okay, to tell the truth, it's more like worshipping you than hating you but... oh well, blame my lame English. :lol:
Anyways, let's see if I still can be bothered to borrow my brother's digital camera to take some shots of his W123 Benz for this comp. If not for this comp then for pure joy some time later.
 
Teazr has my vote. that thing is amazing. very cool light, and the dark feeling of the entire car contrasted with the "Coronet" lettering is just too cool.

Cano

nice, nice.
