Monthly Car Photography contest -- May

[aztec daz]

May subject - Night shots
Rules:

The subject for the month is chosen by the winner of the previous month, so if some one wins two months in a row, they get to choose two subjects. Once the winner is announced by the poll, they will think of the next subject, and make a new thread for the entries in there, stating the subject.

The subject is usually chosen for the 1st of each month, and the entries will be allowed to be entered up until the 21st of that month (Usually give or take a few days, to allow late entires to be submitted).

Once the 21st comes around, the person who won the previous month's competition will then make a seperate thread with a poll, and all of the entries will be added onto the poll. The poll will run for 7 days, so everyone will vote for their favourite picture, and when they're announced, they get to choose the next subject.

The votes are made public, so that you can't vote for yourself, as that's just cheating...

Please keep all general banter about the competition in the monthly threads, and once the new subject's been chosen, post your pictures in this thread, and talk about it in here too. Please keep the individual threads for talking about that month's entries.

There is a rule about photoshopping. You are allowed to use it to do post-processing, such as changing the contrast, colour, curves etc, but it's not allowed for things such as photoshopping your car onto a different background, or to put something onto the picture, revolving around the subject, unless that it part of the subject chosen by some one.

Please try to keep the photo's to a 640x480 size, to save re-sizing them for the monthly thread, and to keep with the forum rules, so it doesn't slow the forum down, or have to make people scroll across the screen.

One entry per person too!

If you wish to change your entry you have posted, please edit your post, so it contains the new picture, or delete the old one, or PM myself to change it/delete it, to keep the thread smooth, and easy to find the month's nominee's!

As an extra rule from Corsa-D, as there's so many people on here, the opening will run until the 21st, or when there's 25 entries, which ever comes soonest, as you can only make a maximum number of 25 poll entries.

Montly Entries!

voted scooby slayer:doublethumbs:

[dmcguireuk]

Voted for Aztec, Sorry Titleist but I love long exposure photography and i think aztec's is spot on, i disagree with Slugger if the car was brighter then it would stand out to much and not sit right in the picture, quality picture Daz

[aztec daz]

thanks for the comments on my photo. The car is dark but its how I wanted it to look. The raw photo I took actually showed the car up alot brighter but it just didn't feel or look right, so i changed it to how it is now.

[Ryan]

[aztec daz]

[aztec daz]

It was my first time making a poll keith, I didnt really know what I was doing :lol: I'll do that this time tho. :)

[Keith Fusco]

Lol! I must admit, I didn't at first, but figured out that you can make it run for 7 days, and you're sorted.

[Ryan]

[Keith Fusco]

I feel some bribing, and paying off members to vote going on!

[aztec daz]

[Gazza_DJ]

i got a vote :lol:

[aztec daz]

i got 28 :D

[D-M0NK3Y]

shouldnt you just post numbers on the next one so people can just vote for mates ?

not saying thats how you won :)

[Gazza_DJ]

Most people know who's car is who's though.

[Keith Fusco]

TBH, it's easier putting names, as when you check to see who's won, you have to find the number, see the picture, then go into the entry thread, and find the picture. Takes too much time, which is why I suggested using names.
