Are we allowed to change the file type to .png - being as photobucket kills jpegs ?

 

Er..... yeah? But it will ultimately be hoested in photobucket!

 

Well done to the winners. Excellent choice of subject for the next competition.

 

Well Done Chip

Nice car & Driver featured in your picture

 

never had trouble with photobucket myself, you sure you havent got it reducing the file size (option at bottom of upload menu)

well done chip , thinking cap on for this one

 

i've been using photobucket for about 6 years and after it killed pretty much my first account on their quality wise, i've always uploaded as .png's from then on - they may have fixed the problem by now though !!

 

Well done Chip and the 2 runners up

Next weeks competition's going to yield some varied entries i think!

 

Same rule applies though... unless i get 5 entries, there will be no competition!

 

chip's pic was always going to be the winner

tricky subject he's picked, will have to think about that one

 

great photo chip,
what a great subject aswell,,, ummm now what to do!

 

Thanks lads

I hope that the new subject throws up some interesting artistic intpretations, particuarly from within nature, as animals teaching their young can be a great subject matter, both in terms of stimulating the eyes with a fabulous array of colours and also in tugging at the heart strings by stimulating our emotions, for example a bird teaching its young to fly, as well as of course opportunities for a different type of picture such as a 18 year old A level student bending over to pick up her books in a short skirt which tends to stimulate in other ways.

 

damn you !! stop telling everyone what my pic was going to be of

 

16 year old getting her GCSE's would've been better

 

Yeah but "GCSE" isnt slang for "anal sex" and 16 is too young for hardcore porn, you took my reply too literally

 

Well done the winner's ..

Learning .. MMM Tricky that one ..

Have to look in my Vast Archive ..

 

It's just dawned on me how much more naive i am than you

 

Woo ... Image sent in (on time as well)

 

yup infact youre early! yay!

fab picture too!

 

i want to enter

 

Well send a picture in then!

 

i want to enter too.. but i don't own an SLR camera.. so i'd be massively dissadvantaged

 

i dont know what to take a pic of

 

nor do i, i think i might draw a pic on paint

 

neither do i!!! but i still entered last time!

 

i already have my idea planned out, i just don't have a good enough camera to do it with.. wonder if an HD camcorder pic would be any good..

 

which pic was yours ?

 

The Watch

 

Makes pissing on there Bonfire even better

 

I was 3rd in the AUTOMOBILES comp with a crap camera have a dslr now so hopefully i can make some better pics now

 

I'm just going to sit at the end of our road now and when a learner goes past I'm gonna flash him with my phone. Should be interesting.

Benni.

 

BENNI!!!! youve given it away now! the photos are supposed to be anonymous!!

 

Ive got an idea for this one, just need to get it into practise

 

FFS.

 

Im going to get a D90 as soon as I have figured out what lens' are best for them.

So I can enter this and the ocuk photography's (theirs are amazing, but like I they love their photoshop, which leads me into my next question

Chip : What camera settings did you use to take the pic of the Escos ? I cant read EXIF data as im on linux and it doesnt even understand what a JPEG is

 

Chips - Nikon D50 f7.1 1/15 @28mm

 

also worth adding it was done "car to car" at about 50mph, which is why the subject is so well focussed and the background is so well blurred, you'd struggle to get quite the same results from just panning.

 

i've got a few pics like that Chip, but that one really is a good'un - mine were done at 50mph, on the M5 motorway hanging out of my bro's sunroof with the camera strap around my neck just in case

 

Very similar to how I took mine, from Si B's evo.


This is about the best I can manage as far as a panning shot taken from a static location goes:



Thats better than most of mine come out though when panning, its very hard to get the whole car in focus, I normally end up with either the front or back blurred!

 

That's a real cool pic - Nurburgring & a proper E30 M3 !! nice one
