  1. I would say the third one. And as a solution to the rough edges. Once you have made your selection, go to SELECT > FEATHER then set it to 1 pixel and hit OK. That should do the trick.
  2. My entry: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --
  3. My mates dads Aston DB9. Saw it in the car park and thought 'I recognise that...'. Went inside and spoke to him for a bit :p He sold his Porsche Boxster and BMW M5 to get this. Lucky bugger. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- And the numberplate is the owner's initials, and not a failed attempt at getting AML. :p
  4. EXCELLENT photo Highline! Really - like your Mic photo last week - WOW.
  5. My friend actually did that to her car (shes only 17). Basically mistook the Accelerator for the Brake, and floored it into a wall, writing off the car. She was fine, but however much I like her, I will never understand how people can do that.
  6. Great pics! Also - fail at counting. Clearly you didn't pay attention at school when they talked about a little thing commonly known as 'maths'.
  7. WEEK FOURTEEN Rules: Photo MUST be taken by you No huge amounts of photoshop - brightness/contrast and curves, borders etc are allowed, but don't go over the top. Anybody who does (anyone can point out what they may think as such photoshopping) can be disqualified. No Voting for yourself! Photo sizes kept to 800x600 maximum. No thumbnails with larger photos please. Your photo will not be entered if it exceeds this. Winner chooses next theme (by PMing me). If someone wins twice in a row, the person they voted for chooses the next theme. If you post many photos, the top one will be chosen as your entry, but you have until the closing date to choose. Photos cannot be used twice for two different subjects. Tell me if I've missed anything, thanks! I ask for this contest to be a trigger of intelligence and creativity, and not just a fluke you got years ago. Please go out and take photos, not just take them out of your archives. Thanks. Congrats to Safiro TDU for winning last weeks competition. Good to see a single winner. And rather appropriately, he has chosen this weeks theme as... This week's theme: Christmas Fill The Photo With Your Christmas Decorations! Closing Date: 28th December. Good luck! Entrants: 1) Koenigsegg 2) HappyTreeFriend 3) only599 4) HighlineDSG 5) Car Freak 6) Speedtouch 7) 8) 9) 10)
  8. ISO is basically how sensitive a camera is to the dark. A low ISO number (100 or 200) will give a darker image (depending on light conditions), but give little/no image noise (or grain). A higher ISO number will give you a lighter picture, but much more grain.
  9. What camera do you have? If its anything better than a simple point and shoot, make the shutter quicker and/or turn up the F number. It will stop the burnt out bright spots.
  10. Congrats to Safiro, but PLEASE send your theme to me without prompt. Its not that hard to notice.
  11. It isn't how much has been done, but how good it is. Quality, not Quantity Mb.
  12. Theres a reason its a vote. SO THERE CAN BE A FAIR WINNER. In this case I voted for Safiro because I believe he had the best picture, but vote for who you think is the best. Safiro = shallow.
  13. Haven't posted in here for a while. So here is the soundboard in my school's hall. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --
  14. +++ Got a niceish lie in --------- Had work and it was busy! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Went to see Wicked in London. Exceptional show.
  15. Highline - get yourself some proper drinks! (This beer wasn't actually that nice, but I drank it anyway :lol:) Both of these from the party I went to on Friday night. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- A few of my mates. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- +rep to whoever can guess where the green T-shirt on my mate came from/what it relates to. :p
  16. Not entering this week unfortunately. I've been busy all week, and have no time now to do it. Sorry! But I'll be at a party - so I won't be worrying about it :p
  17. Obviously ignoring the fact that there is only one burnout in the video.
  18. ^ Yes, he was talking about the picture, but why the thread title 'Not a bad life'. To me that sounds like he is talking about his life, not a picture.
  19. Touch typing FTMFW! Although I can only do it properly on my Logitech Wave - on the rubbish keyboards at school (and anywhere else) I can type fast, but have to look more often.
  20. Yeah, but he never did. Clearly you either know nothing about F1 (I know relatively little, but I still know enough) or you are just a plain idiot. As far as luck is concerned, it ran out a very long time ago. That and his talent. Or rather lack of it.
  21. Looking at it, I will accept that yes. Lets see what the people think... (by the people, I mean everyone! Opinions please.
  22. No. The G25 is not a car.
  23. ^ Very nice... I like!
  24. The touring car segment was certainly a fun way to start the show. Brought in slowly, it had plenty of crashes to fill us with joy. I do agree entirely with what was said, too. The BTCC was the original best motorsport. And it is such a shame in the recent years it has fallen behind. I think the 80s and 90s were certainly something of a pinnacle for that motorsport. I laughed hard at the final crash too. The guy gets out after a monster crash then just stumbles a bit. A proper racing driver for sure. The news was continuing the 'well on track' theme. Very funny, to the point, and full of amusing parts. Although maybe a tad too far with the final products. Not as good as the last 'Christmas gifts' section in series 10. And the bringing back of the V8 was brilliant too. As soon as he started it it was clear that this application of such a motor was...not adequate to say the least. :lol: SIARPC. Hmm. Now this was much worse for want of a better phrase. From the start Clarkson mentioned the CD, and that 'that was why he was here'. Now this has been the single reason why the SIARPC have been so good recently. NO PLUGGING. Frankly, they failed here. The interview was uninteresting, he was boring and the lap time was pretty bad too. We need more Kevin McClouds - unknown to some, unwanting of huge fame and a great guy. That is all we ask. Even if they don't like cars that much, they can still be brilliant. The Tesla segment was much better. A nice car, and the review wasn't clouded by the fact it was an 'eco' car. An honest review, showing the reasons why it is such an important car, but also showing the points that you don't hear anywhere else, or think about. The tyres for instance - who thought they would be a problem? No-one. Because everyone else has tunnel vision towards the exhaust pipe. Or rather lack of it. Excellent videography too. The stunt was a nice way to 'get it back' from 5th Gear. Or not. :lol: Sure they failed, but it was a hilarious way of doing it. Crashing cars (as proved in the touring car segment) is fun, and is always welcome. No worries about the consequences, and nice to see a controlled use of the stunt-man this time, not trying to instigate him into the show like the Stig is. Finishing off with the FCX was a nice way to end. Like the Tesla, it wasn't stuck in 'lets hate the eco cars' mode, and in 'lets see what we can come up with about a new car' mode. Again as with the Tesla review, a nice honest review, with excellent videography, and some nice volleyballers too. And very nice to see Jay Leno's garage too. Some immense set up he has there! The phrase James used at the end tells it how it is I think. "The reason its the car of the future, is because its just like the car of today." Overall, I'll give it an 8.5/10. Heading VERY close to a 10, but seriously let down by the SIARPC. Shame.
  25. A few photos from my school. The crane is at the collage over the road. The bell tower is on my school.
