Quote :Competition rules:
  • When you have finished your picture and want to enter it into the competition, please write 'Final Entry' in the relevant post.
  • You must provide a preview picture (no bigger than 400 x 400 pixels) as well as the High Resolution picture. (The preview picture does not have to be exactly 400 x 400 pixels - it can be smaller to maintain the correct aspect ratio [for example, 400 x 300 pixels])
  • No renders, old images or VOB MODS to be used.
  • You may incorporate external non-LFS images into your work, but you MUST give a link to any images used.*
  • You MUST NOT use any LFS screenshot material that does not belong to you. (You are not even allowed to ask others to take a picture for you etc., everything has to be done by you.)*
  • During the voting, you are FORBIDDEN to get more votes in an unfair way. (Asking your team members, friends etc. to vote for you.) If I find out, your image will be removed from the voting and you will not be allowed to take part in the competition. (For how long, that is to be decided by me.)
  • All pictures MUST be uploaded to LFSForum.net, so basically in the attachments. (Other uploading websites are not allowed to be used.) (This is because of the fact, that after some time, the other websites get shut down and pictures in hall of fame or old threads disappear and we can never get to see them again..
  • The winner of the round should explain how he made his edit. This is not a MUST rule, but it would be great for the beginners and also others to learn and see new things. (This means, giving 2-4 images of the steps, the raw screenshot etc. telling the techniques and tools used.)
  • Any entries that will be ignoring 1 or more rules listed above, will not be accepted.

* If these rules are ignored, then the person might be forbidden to take participation in the competition for some time.

Anyone is allowed to post their pictures and take participation in the competition as long as the rules are obeyed.


Competition closes on THURSDAY, 28.07.2011. at 21:00 GMT.
Every round of the competition will last 3 weeks. (18 days to enter, 3 days to vote.)

BONUS *FUN* RULES:

- You must obey the rules
- No b*tching/moaning/arguing


Have fun and good luck! Feel free to discuss the topic, images or ask questions.

in my opinion we should use an hillclimb course from a real photo. not lfs.
#7 - kiste
sorry for double post.

Edited the first post with my external image
Quote from kiste :in my opinion we should use an hillclimb course from a real photo. not lfs.

No, not really, doesn't say anything in the rules about it. It only says that you should choose places that look similar to what it looks in real life giving some adjectives that describe the road/place of such kind.

No offence or anything... But thats rallying. Not hill climb
Love the theme!

Sarker -

Quote from CrAbStEr DrIfTeR :But thats rallying. Not hill climb

Can't it be taken as the [rally-prepared] car doing a [hill-climb] run through that particular stage?

Same would apply to Sarker's; it might be a rally, but IMO, it could be considered as a hill climb too. Or not?

i.e. take this example; if you replace that car with Sarker's RB4 - it's still a hill-climb, but it might be assumed to be part of a rally stage from that pic alone...

I can't wait to see more entries...
Silveracer: I know what you mean, but it looks more like a rally stage to a hill climb. For one - The spectators are all over the banking. Hill Climb safety regs would definitely not allow that here :P Secondly, Thats actually quite a famous rallying photo used by Lancia themselves. It could be said to be a hill climb, But its not easy to turn somebody to believe it!

Been a VERY long time since I've done any editing in photoshop whatsoever apart from my photography work... So thought I'd give this a shot with the new CS5 for a test run! The shadowing isn't perfect but I liked it enough to post

Where? I can't find it, if you can show the link, then it's not valid of course since it's old. I also thought I've seen it, but wasn't sure and never found it.
andro, can you tell me if my picture is valid? I think it looks like a rally hillclimb
thanks
Well, I'm not sure, we should probably wait for JO53PHS to come back from somewhere in a week, since he made the rules. He'll probably know better.
