That's because great minds think alike.....
I was expecting something a bit different for this challenge, however I will still participate this go around. I have a feeling what most of the entries will be, but I can't wait to see the truly creative ones, from the select few talented photographers on the board.
I'm pretty much against this contest since it is biased towards the voter's fav. car nto the composition of the photo.. so I'm def. w/ Nemesis on this. . could do one on boats, sounds, harbors, etc.
thanks for the bump. you must not have read the whole original post
No I actually did.. . that's why i stated what I did..try re-reading what I stated
Like I said the VOTER'S will be voting on their fav. car not on the composition of the photo
try reading the post before you reply next time
I guess i could give you guys an idea of what to shoot so that it cant be biased. This example (unless you know whos this is) you cant even tell what kind of car it is, but its within the paramaters of the topic.
This one also would also work. Notice, cant really tell what kind of car it is (maybe someone could gather it's a honda). These pics dont count tho cause they were taken a while ago
I can see how it could be "biased" if everyone was shooting pictures of the "entire" car like this, so just get creative
this is full of fail.Vehicles on a car forum is too cliche. All of us already have tons of car pics. It should be alternate vehicles, as in something that isn't a car or a bike, because it's too overdone. Also, these rules aren't written as well. FAIL.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
I can see how it could be "biased" if everyone was shooting pictures of the "entire" car like this, so just get creative
as long as people shoot in a creative fasion I see the challenge working, but you can see how things can get to be one sided on voting
thats the reason i stopped doing them....disagreement on what the subject would be, if certain photos fit the subject, people had issues with my photos, i had issues with others photos and other people had issues with other peoples photos
then i looked at a picture that was clearly a great photo(not mine) and see it lose badly to a so-so photo(again not mine) and that keeps alot of people from taking part in this stuff. the votes were jacked up...it was a mess LOL
the voting is what screws it up....if there was no voting i think itd be something i would still take part in.

We all read the original post, and we all know that people will not vote for the composition and picture quality with that vague weighted subject.
Maybe you could throw in a stipulation of "no exterior shot of entire car" or something. Certainly not fool proof, but better. Maybe even a macro competition, where the goal is to take an image and have people guess what car it is.
lol, I suppose I'll enter maybe my entry will be voted on properly.

i like that a lot... they do something similar to that on Forzacentral -- except with in-game screenshots.
I have to agree. This particular idea isn't that good for a photography contest. I believe thinking outside the box ideas would be urban life shots, antiquity shots, countryside shots and the like. Not your average, everyday "take a pic of a car" contest. I've been wanting to get involved with these contests each week but haven't been able to make time for it. I know I'm a nobody in the photog world, but I'm not going to try to make time for this one. Sorry dude. Later, QD.hmmm... this really does make sense
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
I really don't understand why this is such a hard topic for everybody. Transportation as a theme doesn't mean "go outside and take a picture of your car". There are an infinite number of routes to go here: trains, bikes, planes, anything. Sounds more like a cop-out for people that are dismissing it as stupid.
Call it what you want, but this is a played subject. Get original with ideas. I really don't understand why this such a hard point to get for people. Sounds more like an attempt to try and make other people (better than they) look bad. You're one of the few member on here that I wouldn't have thought would bother getting into a tangle with me.

Not trying to tangle my friend. Just healthy discussion.
I was given a lot harder topics to photograph in college. Try having to do a self-portrait and having to present it to peer criticism. In the world of facebook and myspace, it was near impossible to find a unique route of photographing yourself. I think when we are forced to find something interesting and unique in something we find so familiar, it forces us to step outside of our comfort zone. For example, there is no way that I would turn in a picture of my Fit for this competition, even though i love photographing it, because that would show a complete lack of creativity and effort.
I think that if we think thematically about this topic rather than bike racks, bbs's, and turbos, it could yield some cool results, that otherwise might have been overlooked.
Well then maybe only have forms of transportation that isn't cars. Maybe Planes, Trains and Bicycles or something. Wagons and such. Maybe unconventional forms of transportation. Sleds, boats and the like.

lookin forward to seeing how my p&s stacks up (or doesnt stack up...lol) to the competition...
Theres no border on yours. Did you host it on photobucket? Ive hosted some pics on there and used their editor to put a border on and it didnt show up on websites. Its no big deal tho.
BTW, lets try to keep the size down to 800x600 (or whatever your constraints are)
lol mine shoots at like 3300x2800. ill resize it and resend it to you
