[kurt95gt]

[HectortheRican]

Technically, that's as many pictures as there are frames, which any way you look at it, it's more than one picture... but I want it to count soooo badly. That's badass.

I think this link should be included in the OP of this contest every month.



People need to take the extra effort. These images are vying for the Official Calendar. Take the car out to a field or an empty lot and take a picture of it. (not to point fingers) Not next to a camper or a minivan.

The cars themselves are GREAT but unfortunately, this is generally a photo contest.

And little things like (not to point fingers again) doors being open, ruin the picture. Things like that can be avoided.

Its late and im ranting. lol continue

[Rusty]

good idea about the link, will start adding it from the next month

[kurt95gt]

Mine was like just for the pic.
Dont get me wrong im not mad about what your saying.
It was something diffrent an i thought it was a good pic an im still new to doin anykind of photto shoot
I just thought it was a good pick

[Timmyface]

Spot on there Tiga.

I think if anything, the Featured Ride should turn into a voting system as well.
Have:
Photo of the month AND
Car of the month.

Car of the month, can recognize the persons achievements and overall quality of their car. The winner can do a small write up on their goals/achievements etc
Photo of the month, can be this, submitting a photo that can be used at the end of the year calendar.

Just my 0.2c, i've always seen this thread from a photography aspect.

Good luck though everyone!

Thats one thing I dont really get, it is a photo contest and not really about the car, atleast thats the way everyone votes. I dont even know why people bother to post mods, because all that goes in the other thread is name/pic. Thats why i barely post anything for my mods.

This doesn't sound too bad. There are members on here with fantastic cars on here
Who don't have the resources to preform a large photo shoot for their car.
But the thing is, what happens when we start to add high quality photo's in that contest. What to stop that contest
From becoming what this one has

I stopped posting mods after the first contest because I realized I could have a stock car, take crazy photos of it and still win

[TRD_Ian]

heres mines

nothing to special just a tasteful pic, car is mostly stock except for sound system and interior mods, you can see my custom upholstered 7th gen seats poking out in the pic tho
