PHOTO OF THE MONTH JULY SUBMISSIONS
 
before showing the pics, I'd like to remember you we changed the way to decide the winner since this month. Just testing if it will work out, but I am sure it will, and it's a better solution, even if some of the laziest ones will stop voting because it will take some more time.

Here is what to do:

You have to select your fav FOUR pics and assign points. The point system is as follows:

fav pic: 5 pts
second pic: 3 pts
third: 2 pts
fourth: 1 pt

Please, your fav pic on top, 4th one at the bottom of the short list.


Also, if you want, please, explain your choices :)

And may the best win :)

Fleischmann 05-31-2006 05:56 PM

Extremelly hard this time, especially since there are two pics of the orange Zonda F.But my vote goes to MartijnGizmo, maybe the M3 isn't such a rare car, but that panning shot is perfect, plenty of focus on the car and a blured background. I like the fact that it's dynamic. Good job *thumbs up*

EDIT:

oh yeah, new rules :D

MartijnGizmo - 5
Smylait - 3
eurocopter - 2
stmoritzer - 1

TT 05-31-2006 06:04 PM

Actually you have to vote for your top 4, so much easier ;)

No.1 05-31-2006 06:05 PM

MartijnGizmo wins it for me.

I know i must have said how much i like his picture about a million times already, but it really is fabulous.

The car is average - an M3 really isn't a rare sighting anywhere.

The green vs blue looks fantastic, and the panning is supercrisp, especially after taking into account the slow shutter speed (which i assume helps to keep the colours vivid).

Others worthy of mention.

jon_s - a nice tyre smoking shot
Maou/Symylait - both of the orange Zonda look cool
Speedracer38 - just because of the rareness of the F50 and Enzo (plus the red and yellow look great together.)
80ssportlover - nice shot including the bridge. The yellow of the pontiac looks fantastic.
eurocopter - a menacing RS4 - looks fantastic

Congrats to everybody who made it into the poll - but hats off to Martijn 8)

{EDIT} Bollocks :oops: just read the new rules.

1st - MartijnGizmo
2nd - jon_s
3rd - Speedracer38
4th - eurocopter

There we go!

TT 05-31-2006 06:07 PM

Guys, guys, please, take the time to read and vote as asked :D or else it will be just a mess :D

sameerrao 05-31-2006 06:08 PM

#1 - Martin Gizmo - perfect blend of sharpness (of the car) and blur (of the wheels). Personally, I prefer moving cars to static cars - so additional brownie points for this pic. 5 POINTS

#2 - 80ssportlover - Fantastic alignment of car and bridge. Great color contrast between the car and bridge. Very well done. 3 POINTS

Now it gets tough the pick the rest

#3 - Sentra_dude - Rare sighting to see a Jet truck - the flames were perfectly captured. Great framing. Awesome. 2 POINTS

#4 - MIHALS - Beautiful Countach - framed very well; lots of room around the picture. Love the rain drops on the car. Excellent job. 1 POINT

About the rest:
In general great shots - v. tough to single out why these dont deserve to be in the Top 5.

Titan_boy - great picture, nice car.
Smylait - This would have been a certain Top 5 if it weren't for the framing - the car should have been a bit more centered. Great shot otherwise.
Salegosse -nice shot. But I am not a big fan of showroom kinda shots.
TT - perfect composition but somehow I think the exposure strikes me a little odd.

I'll stop here too many pics to comment about.

Fourth - yacouba

TT 05-31-2006 06:20 PM

5 pt - salegosse - brillant colors. simple angle, but really nice result
3 pt - MartijnGizmo - no doubt a perfect pic that will end on the portal in a month. But when I have to choose, I turn toward static cars ;)
2 pt - eurocopter - magazine's stuff. Really nice composition
1 pt - Maou - dang, giving points to two Zonda F this week, but well, once again, simple angle, clear view, nice light thanks to shitty weather :good:

dingo 05-31-2006 06:58 PM

10pts - dingo, just perfect......lets hope TT is asleep as he reads this. :P
5pts - eurocopter, great car in a nice colour and perfectly placed IMO.
3pts - MartijnGizmo, not a huge fan of moving shots usually but this one is too good to not vote for.
2pts - salegoss, simple but vert effective!
1pt - MIHALS, brilliant setting for such an outrageous car.

martijnn gizmo, E46 M3 - 5 (just an unbelievably beautiful shot of a M3 in motion, its now my new desktop)

88ssportlove, Pontiac Fiero - 3 (the background is awsome on this one with the GG Bridge)

pzgren, Porsche 996 Carrera - 2 (the sun in the picture is really nice, and mixed with the 996 it is a beautiful picture)

Basically you did a Schumacher (@ Monaco). FIA mandated penalty applicable is that all your photographs are automatically placed at the back of the grid (-100 POINTS). A separate thread will be open to bitch about this - did he do it purposely or not? :P

eurocopter 05-31-2006 09:19 PM

Hey Guys


5 Points : Smylait
3 Points: TT
2 Points: Speedracer
1 Point: 80ssportlover


Smylait: WoW the Picture of the Orange/Black Zonda is Awsome :D I Love it :mrgreen: thank you

TT: The Orange Diabolo is cool , and the Background are so Beautiful :drool: ... very very nice Pic :D

Speedracer: You are a lucky guy :D A Photoshooting with a Enzo is a dream and a F50 Spyder in the Background is so damn cool ... Thanks for the Picture :P

80ssportlover: I think the car is not so good, but the Golden Gate Bridge in the Background is a awsome Location, very good choise :wink:

Thats all

antonioledesma 05-31-2006 09:47 PM

5 pts- MartijnGizmo. The shot is great, maybe not a zonda like other pics, but IMO it's the best pic this month.

3 pts- eurocopter. Really hard... one of the best shots that had a place to contrast perfectly.
2 pts- tifosi. also as eurocopter's
1 pt- jon_s. the cuda in action!! simple as that.

MIHALS 05-31-2006 11:25 PM

fav pic: 5 pts - MartijnGizmo, BMW E46 M3 - Magazine picture!!! :drool:

second pic: 3 pts - salegosse, Pagani Zonda F - that perlascent white zonda is damn sexy :love:

third: 2 pts - Smylait, Pagani Zonda F -zonda again :roll: - I love Zonda F actually :mrgreen: - this angle is SO PERFECT!!! :good:

fourth: 1 pt - eurocopter, Audi RS4 B7 - just great location for such car :D I would just play a bit with the polarizing filter and then put 2 pics to 1 to make it reflectionless :wink:

really hard decision this time, many pics are too crowded, not much space around the car, but sometimes we can't really rule the world :bah: so many of these pics have lost my attention - dani's miura, maou's Zonda, Speedracer's F cars and dodo's CGT :bah: ... just my opinion :wink: thanks to everyone who joined the competition!!!

Smylait 06-01-2006 02:14 AM

5 pts: Speedracer38 - pretty colours.
3 pts: Eurocopter - for the atmosphere.
2 pts: tifosi: contrast between the car and its environment.
1 pt: Mihals: great picture of an all alone countach.

Honorable mention to:
Salegosse - awesome white pearl Zonda picture.
MartinGizmo - astonishing picture, but there is too much photoshop sharpen for my taste.

spanky 06-01-2006 02:33 AM

I also looked up and down at the pictures 100 times. But you have to decide at some point so:

Fave: 5 pts - Eurocopters Audi
2nd: 3 pts - Tifosi's M5
3rd: 2pts - Pzgrens Porsche
4th: 1pt - Jon_s Cuda

Great pictures from everyone though. Nice to see a few people voting too.

DeMoN 06-01-2006 03:38 PM

#1 Smylait, Pagani Zonda F - That angle of the car looks just too good. BTW, single instead of dual wing is a PLUS.
#2 momodels, Ferrari 430 - Could have bean first choise if it wasnt the color. Charcoal gray is to oldie, I like black or red plz.

martin100 06-01-2006 03:40 PM

1st: Maou - 5 pts. - Excellent shot IMO! Brilliant colour.
2nd: TT - 3 pts. - Beautiful landscape and even more beautiful car!

TT 06-01-2006 03:56 PM

Thanks everybody for voting :D keep doing it :)

Demon, I can't accept your votes untill you'll give us the first 4 pics, not just two

salegosse 06-01-2006 06:08 PM

1 - MartijnGizmo > Nice panning !

2 - TT > Nice panorama, great light.

3 - Smylait > Best view of the car.

4 - 80ssportlover > Well done !

MidEngine4Life 06-01-2006 06:27 PM

1) eurocopter - beauftiful car, perfect shot
2) Speedracer38 - great composition
3) MartijnGizmo - looks straight out of a BMW ad
4) pzgren - a bit dark but a cool sunset


Remember my car is a Fiero "GT". There is a difference ;)

Yea I realize the styling isnt everybody's thing but I think its gorgeous and it never stops turning heads when i drive down the street. Plus its more exciting than the family cars im sure half of you drive ;) Mid Engine rocks!

There is a Ferrari rental place in SF. When I get old enough im going to rent one and take it to that same spot ;)

RF1 06-01-2006 07:04 PM

StanAE86 06-02-2006 02:38 AM

5 pts: momodels, Ferrari 430 (I like this one the best because from the rear, the car looks almost alien. You get a sense of the width and the aero components on the car)

3 pts: MIHALS, Lamborghini Countach (I like this one because the Countach, to me, is THE car that established what an exotic car was and how outrageous they have to be. You get a real sense of how wide and flat the car is. It has the flamboyant intakes and everything I love about the Countach)

2 pts: pzgren, Porsche 996 Carrera (excellent location and wonderful sunset)

1 pt: sentra_dude, Jet truck (just because it's crazy)

3. 80ssportlover, don't like the car, but the location is :shock:
4. pzgren, a "simple" picture but the sun pushed it into the top4

yg60m 06-02-2006 03:32 PM

Smylait, Pagani Zonda F : 5
I don't know a lot on pictures but I love the car.

salegosse, Pagani Zonda F : 3
As always, a wonderful job from salegosse and maybe better than Smylait for technic ( :?: ) but the lights and angle are as good (for my taste ) than Smylait.

eurocopter, Audi RS4 B7 : 2
I simply love the all, the place and the way the car is integrated in this environment. It looks like a postal card.

karcs, Porsche 991 Carrera : 1
I could have put Maou with another Zonda F pic but the "simplicity" of this pic is nice, I love the car and decoration.

As usually, it was very hard to make a choice, so many good cars/ pics and I apologize for the buddies I didn't nominate because their job is certainly great but I had to make a choice finally :P

TT 06-02-2006 03:52 PM

We are two days into the month and got already many votes :D I doubt we'll get close to 300 voters but I think we can already say this method is much better in the end :)

sameerrao 06-02-2006 03:59 PM

TT warm up your calculator ... she is going to get a good workout!!! :D

TT 06-02-2006 04:03 PM

Well, of course I update the standings on a regular basis :) much better than having to do all the maths at the end of the month ;)

And no, I prefer not to post temporary results because I think it's cooler to have the "surprise".. just my opinion.. of course if somebody is really curious, you are free to do the maths yourselves :P
