• No Voting for yourself!
  
• Photos should be within the limits, which means - not bigger than 800x640 and 350 kb.
  
• The winner chooses the next week's theme. If someone wins twice in a row, the person they voted for chooses the next theme.

Now, as the other thread didn't turn out well, I decided to re-open another one. Rules changed, hope you're all happy now. Voting will start on 3rd August, so we can keep on the Monday-Sunday system. Any staff member, feel free to close the other thread. ;)

Thankyou very much for changing the rules. I see this as a much fairer way of entering than the last one. ;)

 

I take it that you will still have to see the date that the entry was taken to validate it being taken in the last month or is it just a trust thing? :)

[KoenigseggBG]

I won't for now. Let's hope that people still have self-respect in first place and won't try to cheat. ;)

Ok. Make sure you look out for cheating though, i'm sure that some people will attempt that. Anyway now to look for a nice panning shot out of the 1400 I took at Knockhill last Sunday. :rolleyes: :lol:

 

My entry for now. May change. Might also give others an insight into what a panning shot exactly is. I absolutely love the lines of the Ferrari 348 as well. :D

Oh and for those who aren't too good at panning shots yet, here's a tip: Make sure your camera has a viewfinder. Then focus on a particular spot on the subject, and just rotate your body smoothly to follow the subject. Pin your arms to your side, this will make it more stable and the photo less blurred

[Variodical]

Actually you don't really need a viewfinder(though it does help).I took nice panning shots with an Canon Ixus on the LCD screen which had a tiny viewfinder which was next to useless.

I cant do it better for now...

[Car Freak]

I want to ask you guys: If you're in a moving vehicle and take a pic of another car going approx the same speed, is it still considered a panning shot? After all, the subject will still be in focus and the background will be blurred. This is just something i need clarifying

[KoenigseggBG]

TSS would have to answer that, according to the rules.

Depends. It's usually when the person photographing the car is stationary that it's considered a "panning" shot.

[zo6dude]

Fail:P

[TDU 505]

Hahahaha i do believe thats quite the opposite mate :p

[The Queen]

Yes zo6dude thats not a panning shot. You haven't panned the dragsters but taken the photo blurring them on the move while the background is static, it should be the other way around.

LOL oops:p

[Car Freak]

Ya know I would have thought that since this is a car enthusiasts' forum, there'd be a lot of takers for this theme, but sadly it seems i'm mistaken...

Nice one, Adzian.

 

Guys, just to let you know, Speed is going to be in responsibility for PhOTW until the end of August, as I'm going to holidays. Please, don't give him a hard time. ;)

[Car Freak]

Changed my entry. Not too late, i hope?
