Photo Competion Round 8 "300's in motion"

[IvanS.]

Hard choice....

[redline]

if you are against them then fair enough, but dont ruin other peoples fun. (unless theyre setting animals on fire or are into necrophilia or something)

whats wrong with necrophilia ?

I'm not ruining any ones fun ,people can vote for whichever picture they like ,

I also dont like skinny models in pictures because it encourages young girls to be come anorexic or bulimic to lose weight .

seriously though its all about personal choice and I think no 4 is a better picture technically and artisticly


if you dont like what I say ,

PUT SOME COTTON WOOL IN YOUR EARS !!!!

(sorry for shouting )

Mick isn't trying to stop anybody from voting for anything, and we wouldn't listen to him eve if he was!
All he's doing is pointing out that he doesn't condone irresponsible driving, and I don't think any sensible person can argue with him on that point.

[A M R]

hmm

[germ]

amr dont worry i know for a fact that the photo in question isnt one thats braking the law its a very complicated technique with hi tech cameras . infact i would be invlined to say that the one redline voted for was probally more dangerous :S

[MJ]

Haha, you guys aren't going to believe this, picture 3 is mine! And no, it wasn't edited at all, just re-sized (no cropping either).

I was not speeding (legally or for the conditions), I can only have been doing 40 maybe, and no harsh breaking was needed to get round the corner. This road is corner after corner, so there's no time to gain any speed. The motion blur was caused by camera settings. My dad actually took the photo while I was driving. It was taken a short while after Christmas in the late afternoon when it was getting dim, so the camera obviously went for a longer exposure (on auto setting). I'm not sure that it was wet, but the headlight reflections would indicate it was a tad damp.

I fully agree with you Mick, driving too fast for the conditions is a bad thing, don't do it people! I definetly wasn't in this case, just that the camera makes it look like I was. Cameras do lie!

Yes, blue is a good colour Jani, and that one just came out fantastically with the focus on the background. A real case of take 30 shots, and one will work

Pic 4 was fantastic, I want to know who's that is and how it was done! (Maybe after the comp for fairness)

There are some fantastic pics in this this comp, and there are the ones other people entered . Seriously guys, good turnout and quality. What are the rules for voting for people who've entered, vote for anyone except yourself? We've had this prob before and I can't remember what was decided in the end. I'm going to have to think for a while before I vote anyway.

[A M R]

pic 4 looks as if its from a video camera or something that was strapped to the wing.

[germ]

yeah dont reveal till the end

i put em up with out names for fairness

[Chris_C]

I guessed 3 was yours MJ, and I've seen some of your pics, but also know you like photoshop, so wasn't sure

I also know pic 4's owner by the car... and I'm damn impressed... need to know how that was done, answers by the photographer when he can own up to who he is, or MSN if I see you first

[MJ]

Good guess Chris I'm a Paint Shop Pro user actually; it's far cheaper than Photoshop

[d3k4y0]

I'd guessed at it being MJs too, but then the fact that there is motion blur made me second guess it

[redline]

OK time to come clean,

I only posted that to see what sort of comebacks I would get and one or two were very predictable ,



Don't ask me why but I knew it was MJ's photo which is why I thought my (tongue in cheek ) comment was so apt ,

At first sight it go's against everything MJ stands for ( driving fast
,driving dangerously and taking his car out in the wet ) all in one photo lol

great picture MJ


same go's for the speedo one ,

think back ,who posted here (alright it was 2 years ago ) about regularly hitting 120 + on the M6 in a certain graphic'd express on his twice weekly trips to Coventry ,

At the end of the day I have no problems with driving fast or even over the speed limit on two conditions

1 ) you do it in your own car

2 ) you do it in such a way that if you screw up and lose control the only person you are going to hurt is yourself,

i.e. no passengers and the road ahead is clear as far as its going to take you to stop from whatever speed you are doing.

the camera never lies but it can give false impressions

[germ]

lol i dont believe it for a second

its not nice to test people like that....no more comment.

[MJ]

Nice one Mick!

I didn't think it sounded like you to jump to accusations like that, and it did make a good point looking at the responses. Thanks for the comment and I hope you voted for me I'm still undecided as to who to go for myself.

I guess it's fairly obvious it's mine. I said I'd entered, the first pic is left hand drive, second one way to fast, and none of the others are dark blue.

And you can see Megasquirt DB9 connector + leds at near bottom of first pic in place of radio but only if you look carefully
