Re: March 2008 Photo Competition Voting Open
Camera was a Canon Rebel XTI with a ef 28-135 lens
These were the first pics I had ever taken with it. I was looking to just see how good the camera was compared to my old point and shoot. I know 0 about photography so the pics I take are very amature compared to some of the very skilled guys I see here. I like photos that represent a car and give it a personality VS perfect backgrounds and color saturation etc... thats why I liked this photo. Z4dsun has the best looking photo I think in terms of quality so I guess its just what you are looking for in the photo.

Re: March 2008 Photo Competition Voting Open
I honestly thought Scotia to win. I wasn't expecting to be the winner, I just didn't expect a pixilated and immproperly resized picture to. No offense Romer, picture is good, but your ISO was too high and you needed to reduce the noise in photoshop and resize it in a different method then you did. I've been disppointed in the results of this contest in the past, and even though the URL changed, the competition didn't. You guys are right, it is a car forum.... people with cars are voting, not with photography skills.
photo was taken at the Oakley plant in Laguna HIlls.

Bit of a leading question...does anyone feel we should vote for our own pic? (Presumably the Mod has access to this info?)

Plenty of guys never vote for their own picture. I know that I have never voted for mine because there have always been better ones.

Re: March 2008 Photo Competition Voting Open
I can't believe no one voted for Rick's photo! I thought it was absolutely hilarious....but kinda cool at the same time. Nice pic, Rick!
z4dsun, in response to what you said: I voted for Scotia Steve also. Your criticism of Rom3n's photo may be valid, but you can also see it as his photo being so nice (I thought it was pretty damned nice too -- those side skirts especially help make the car reflect light) that it still won. If his photo had been "fixed" with expert photoshopping, perhaps he would've just ran away with it instead of having Scotia Steve a close second.
Scotia Steve, awesome pic, man. Easy choice for me. Loved it.

I have noticed that as well and was impressed that individuals were voting for the picture they liked best even if it was not their picture...enfield wrote:Plenty of guys never vote for their own picture. I know that I have never voted for mine because there have always been better ones.
