Take a shot of any car skidding backwards. What you do is while traveling fast in a straight line, turn left/right real quickly and brake or use the parking brake and take a shot while the car is facing the opposite direction. Or driving backwards and swinging the car around, which is sometimes easier to accomplish.

Someone voted for Gtuned!? :rolleyes:
That's kind of mean....


And nice Entries everyone! The best poll Christmas could have! :D



Good luck Taiga! I'm pretty sure your Toscana heaven takes the win. ;)

btw, I would've entered this shot...

...but my Girlfriend was against it. :scared::lol:


And merry Christmas everyone! :cheers:



edit: I may do another review in the next days. Got enough time for that. ;)

No, my vote implies nothing but simply the fact that I was bored.
Please don't be mistaken.
I apologize if any of you are confused.

(But then, it'd be rather mean to see Gtuned getting 0 votes in his last match... :scared:)

Yes, gtuned failed to deliver an entry. He told me he was going on holidays, so I gave him the theme one or two days before the Final round was posted, so he can send me an entry before he would go. He didn't sent me anything until today. Zambuca wins his third place match by default.

Oh and GT HP Nut, the voting is and should always be for the picture itself, and not for the person or sympathy.

This is why I'm for all secret competitions. Sometimes is so obvious that people vote for the person and not for the shot...lol
 
Well...it's kindof an anticlimax to be in the bronze match with a guy like gtuned only to find out he withdrew.
In the last seconds I decided for a different entry since I thought I had no chance against him and at least needed something a bit different. My original shot was a 'safe shot'.
But anyway - two bronzes for me in a row. Not a bad christmas present at all :)
 
That's a real good shot, Slipz. :crazy: Looks like I'm gonna retain my position. :lol:

Heh, it's way too early to tell! your shot has so much atmosphere, I'm guessing this will go down to the wire 👍

It's too bad indeed, as this is one of my favourite shots of your's; definitely a type of shot we don't see often around these parts 👍
 
Congrats, zambuca! :cheers: On another third place win.
 
Voted for Gtuned for all his effort for the whole competition 👍 Really want to see his entry if he can submit it in the future. To avoid confusion, I have voted Zambuca as well as his shot is really amazing.

Zambuca, really love the sense of speed in your photo :drool:

Love all entries from this competition.

Great shots everyone! 👍
Funnily enough I was going to take a drifting shot at TGTT. :lol:

Merry Christmas one and all. :cheers:

Sometimes it looks like that, yupp.
Anyways, nice pictures! :) Well done guys!

Thanks for the kind words Kyle 👍
 
Congrats to SlipzTrEm and Taiga for the first place in each side, and also to ijkhk4 and Zambuca for bronze match win. Congrats aswell to the 2nd placers bmxmitch and kaede. :)
 
Congrats to all that made it to the end and what a great tournament.. I am looking forward to the next one.. perhaps even go further than qualifying :)
 
Wow, thanks for the votes, guys and girls; I never really expected to make it far on the PMC side of things, especially after just scraping by the qualifying stage, but it's definitely been a fun challenge to leave my editing behind!

Thank you to kaede for a great final battle - I love that Zonda shot, and you consistently have strong shots without resorting to editing, which I salute - as well as the rest of the competitors for making this another success. Thanks to Luis for again hosting without a hitch, and a congrats to Taiga for continuing the 2.0 Tournament tradition of a new winner each season!

Awesome work, everybody! :cheers:
 
I'm pretty stoked that I won. I don't win PMCs much (at all), so this means quite a bit to me. I thought I was dead going up against DarkR, then Gtuned, then mitch.
I want to thank all who've voted for any of my entries, and all the competitors for making this another successful season. It's been dead fun trying to crack up ideas for my match-ups.
Congratulations to bronze and second places, as well as SlipZ for getting the top in the PMC side.

Looking forward to the next!
 
Happy that I have won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for PMC competition for the last 3 seasons. Proud to compete against you Nato_777. Your shot is very nice as well 👍

Congratulations to SlipZtrEm and Taiga for the win and looking forward for the next season. :cheers:

Thanks all for participating and organizing this competition :cheers:
 
That was a great season again. Especially for me!
I wasnt even expecting to get this far. I barely made the qualification, so second place feels like a win to me. :D

Congrats to Slipz and Taiga. Well deserved :)👍


I planned to do a review for the last matches too....probably tomorrow or so if the poll stays open.




And also, I'm taking a break from GT5's Photomode (plus entering) here for a while.
I just don't have the time to take good pictures anymore and I feel like burned out from GT5 Photomode.

I may enter from time to time if I got a fitting old shot from my HD, but I wont do new stuff for the next couple of month or so...

But still, I will vote and comment on some pics here like ever. So I wont disappear completely ;)
