3SGTO - October Photo Contest

[stealthTT]

So, we will have a monthly contest, as suggested by some of you, which is good.
You can post your inputs until middle of the month, that means until 15th of October.
after that, for another 2 weeks we can vote, and so by the end of the month we could tell the winner based on your votes.

The name of the October contest is: REFLECTIONS

So, the shooting season is open!

Good luck!


mod edit :

added the rules-

Rules:

Contest themes are abstract and limited to one or two words, or a short phrase at the longest. Any interpretation of the theme that falls within the rules is welcome. Please follow all NSFW posting rules.

You must be the person that took the photo. Previous photos are acceptable as long as you are the one that captured the image.

One submission per contest.

Images should be at least 640 pixels wide or tall. Links to larger images are allowed but you must have one that is at least 640px for the poll.

A member of the mod staff will create a poll for voting on the images after the submission deadline.

You must submit a title with your photos. This is just to make creating the poll easier.

Normal image processing such as sharpening/brightness/contrast/color adjustment and enhancement is expected. "Chopping" such as adding, removing, or reshaping objects is discouraged. You must provide an unedited "as-shot" version of your image if challenged on "chopping."

You can host your own images or host them from the gallery.

The contest winner gets to choose the theme for the next contest and the honor of creating the thread for it. They will also be recorded in the official "3SGTO Photo Contest Hall of Fame" thread.

added the rules for you bro :)

[4g63girl]

Thank you!!
This is exactly what I wanted to do on the Evo forum. Luckily Austin has a gorgeous stealth for me to photograph!
It will be hard to choose just one to submit though!
And is this only 3s cars or anything goes?

[Macky]

anything goes. :) the themes will be abstract so pretty much anything that doesnt violate the standard contest rules are allowed.

[Alan92RTTT]

Post them here?

Can we submit multiple?

[Macky]

just one Alan ;)

[Alan92RTTT]

Geez you mods are rough ;)

Gonna answer the other question?

[Macky]

yes. post your entries here. on the 15th, stealthTT will open a new thread to poll the entrants and give that another two weeks for everyone to vote.

winner picks the next theme and the contest moves on with the same set of standard rules :)

Just finished playing around with water drops, first time shooting anything like this, it was very interesting. Only got a few done so far, but if anyone is interested in seeing the rest, they are here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/silverjester/sets/72157625098677480/with/5052978669/).

[Macky]

That's really cool I might try that soon but it'll probably take weeks to get the timing right!

[stealthee]

This isn't even in the same class as some of the already posted pics, but its one of my favs

EDIT: I just realized I can't submit this photo because I didn't take it. It was taken from the passenger seat so my cousin actually took the photo. I'll leave it posted though.

[Austin@STM]

^ I like it.

[stealthee]

Yeah, well I just realized I am a dumbass and can't submit that photo. I didn't take it. LOL

I'll submit a photo in the next post.

[stealthee]

Not my car, but I did take the photo.

I almost submitted something similar from a 3S meet we had earlier this year. Then I realized I didn't take it.

[Macky]

[stealthee]

Its past the 15th so I would say yes. :p

[Macky]

[Macky]

I'll filter the entries tonight and start the poll. If I get a chance here at work I will do so.

[Macky]

stealthee, which entry did you want me to set for you?

[stealthee]

The blue Stealth. I didn't take the first pic so I "unsbumitted" it.

[lawdogg]

I like it though. :) Cuz I'm in it. :p

[SupraMKIII]

Too late to enter?

[Macky]
