Ooooh, looks like fun! Might work on an entry, if my GT4 was not dead. Disc is not spinning, will try and get a new one for this comp.
 
Would it be acceptable to have both the Race and Road versions in-race in the same shot?
Or should I just be concentrating on the Road version Only¿¿
 
Thanks guys!

I changed the shot with a little bit of gamma and B/C adjustments, looks better now. I was inspired by Webb Bland's "Hello" series, make sure you check the rest of his site too. A great photographer, I wish I was as good at RL photography as him.
 
i agree with everyone else... but i thought the previews are supposed to be 300X400
 
You mean the GTO? :P

When I changed it to the updated photo, I messed up and made the preview the full size and vice versa. I fixed it though. :D
 
The Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO is a great car, but it's not a homologation special. It wasn't built to allow Pontiac to take it racing. It was a regular production car and nothing more (other than having a 389 V8 in a mid-sized car making it the first of the true muscle cars.) It was called the GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) after the Ferrari 250 GTO, but that's it.

If only the rules could've accommodated your old shot, it looks much better than your legal shot.
 
Grr....

FINAL ENTRY


​

Let's see who's Superbird shot is better...
 
Are we allowed to use filters if it is a serpia-type filter?


Edit-Nevermind, just read no filters, saturation adjustments, nothing. Time to go snap some shots from the game.

Very nice entries so far, guys! 👍 Lucas, your shot seems to be one of the best this week. First of all, you've taken the shot at a very good camera angle. Then you've adjusted the shutter speed perfectly and got great background blur. The back of the car is blurry, too, which, in my eyes, is a great thing, because is shows action in the shot. The colours look great, too, well balanced and the sky looks great, too. Well done, buddy! :) 👍
 
I've just spent a good while taking shots but I've only just remebered that they're supposed to be black&white... Is it OK if I use GIMP's Desaturate tool? It's very basic:

Or does that fall under "you may not adjust ... saturation"?

It will fall under the "you may not adjust hue and saturation" rule. Sorry, you have to re-shot a straight monotone photo from GT4.

Great shot, I may say, though, the shot is PS desaturated, so, making it illegal.

I don't understand. The rules say to make it monotone (B&W, sepia, whatever), and that you can adjust the contrast. That's all I've done here.
