WEEK NINETEEN Rules: Photo MUST be taken by you. Any post processing allowed. No Voting for yourself! Photo sizes kept to 800x640 maximum. No thumbnails 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. Well looks like I won. Great photo in close second from Mb though! Hmm, what shall I have this week...? This week's theme: Light Light is a wonderful thing. So play around with it. Use anything to reflect, refract etc light. Be creative! Closing Date: 15th March. Good luck! Entrants: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10)

Wasn't the original Veyron supposed to go 280, but they limited it to 253 due to tyre restrictions? i.e. they may blow up at any time...

A thing I did a while back. Jaguar XJR Shooting Brake! -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

Yeah but French police cars are boring and easy to do. Painting the side of that was quite annoying, but challenging, which is what these contests [should be] all about.

Updated mine. I reversed the POLICE text, as I now think it does look better like this, and added a police logo.

Its how quite a lot of them are. So that when you look in your rear-view mirror you read 'Police' the right way round EXAMPLE

I don't think I'll add anything to this. Well I don't think it needs anything added to it. A bit basic, but I think it works well. Update I did all the painting myself. So it took flipping ages. :p

^ Haha. Utter fail. Anyway, more... And the best: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

Lucky for some. You all have so much better lives than me. Enjoy them while they last; I just get to wait until mine ends.

Puberty sucks. I chose to try and ignore love, as it ignores me. See ya soon.

I really do like that. However, it should definitely not have the Lagonda name, or to be honest the Aston Martin one either. It looks too much like a Bentley (although a Bentley wouldn't have that frankly awesome front grill). Its very interesting to see Aston going somewhat in a different direction, but I think it is too close to being an SUV, so it should be lower, and maybe a bit less chunky. Still though, I'd have one.

A second one from me. The only fault with this one, is uh the band name. I'm glad it has an acronym (that is the actual one for the association :p)

Edit: ^ WHAAAA??? You like Ryanair? How bad are Air France??? I have flown Ryanair, and I shall never again. They have a wonderful system whereby they charge you for not checking in online. Simple enough no? Hmm...They'll still charge you when you don't check in online when coming home. And there is of course the new story of charging to use the toilets. Oh, and the seats are more uncomfortable than with BA, and bright yellow, so they hurt your eyes too. And no flight attendant speaks English properly, but they all have different accents. And they are very strong accents, so that video is incorrect as you cannot hear anything they say. I am glad my experience with Ryanair was only a short trip to Dublin... I shall say this only once. Do not fly with Ryanair.

I frankly think I beat that Mb. This summer we're going to the Isle Of Man. And I'm driving. Which means of course, no speed limits. I doubt I will have passed my test by then, and I get derestricted back roads to love.

Picture is pretty fitting for the title :P The band name is also, uh, special.

The rear is OK, yes. However, the next time you say that something as ugly as this is cool, I shall never believe anything you say.

Yes, but not the Abarth version. And be honest, the Alfa is no different to being a 'hairdressers car'.

Too ugly for me thanks. I'd still rather have the 500 Abarth.

I know theres a recession on, but I'm sure paint isn't that expensive so they can't afford to paint the whole car... But really, the Murcielago has had its day, now lets move on thanks.

@ SLR: No high speed camera, on board flash used. Exif: 1/500th Sec, f/13, 55mm, ISO200. I spent quite a while taking quite a few shots, then picked out the best few. This stuff takes a while. And Mb, the timing is fine once you get into a rhythm, which the leaky tap I used gave me with constant drips, so I could predict when they were coming. Thanks for the votes guys!

Theres a guy with a Ford Excursion round where I live, and in a place where BMW X5s and Volvo XC90s are very common, it is still huge. And that isn't the biggest thing you get in North America...

Rules Water Pictures! No Voting For Yourself! HTF Koenigsegg http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o429/Koenigsegg_album/Photos/Sea2009.jpg Car Freak (Haven't accepted your new entry - Not close enough to the theme) http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/CIMG5407-1.jpg Pressurized Speedtouch zo6dude http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii107/corvette1_2008/Picture184.jpg TSS http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t270/TheScottishSpotter/PondEdit3.jpg Mb Sorry, forgot to make votes public! I voted for Mb. Even if he did overdo the HDR a tad.

The ones of those with the girls have the same problem, just not as much as the other post's. But frankly this photo is even worse. The fill flash problem obviously ruins the effect, and the boat shouldn't be in it at all. Too much going on.

I really don't like those last few pictures. They are frankly horrible. Waaaaay too much fill flash. They are trying to make everything the subject, rather than the car. And please get rid of those hideous whores.

^ You can however overdo HDR... And you can make that smaller before I enter it thanks. And you don't have to loose quality, just make it a smaller size. I also agree that 350k is way too small.
