This was mentioned in another thread so... anyone want to have a GT4 photo comp.? We already have a real photo comp., but you can do some stuff with the camera in GT4 that you would never be able to do in real life. :)

I have to figure out if this would work or not, so first of all, how many people would be willing to take part in it? If there are only 3 people willing I'm obviously not going to do it. And if there's gonna be 500 people who want to participate, that's too much work for me. :p

Any suggestions for rules? All comments, suggestion, and questions are appreciated. I'm thinking something like:

Rules:

Picture must be taken in GT4.
Picture can be action or static, and can be on any track (or place) with any car.
Must be 800*600 or smaller.
Blah blah blah same as photo comp. blah blah blah.

That's all I have so far, maybe we could have a theme, like:

This week you have to take a picture of a japanese car racing around nurburgring.
or

This week you have to take a picture of a ford on the grand canyon.
or something like that. You get the idea. :) Any more suggestions?

Personally I don't think that themes would be a very good idea. It would be too much of the same thing.

Apart from that, I think this is a good idea.

When I buy a proper flash drive thingy, I will take part.

Ditto :)
EDIT: the idea of having rules for every weeks pictures is a good idea to keep them comprable

I'm in. I agree with the themes idea, but... no so specific. Maybe like: rally cars, supercars, a specific car, black+white, etc.

Or maybe even themes like: cars in the air, smoking tires, flaming exaushts?

That's where skill/luck will be involved. I think having themes that hardcore would be a plus.

well yeah, and im all for it, but if we have a restriction like "2 week old pics at most" there arent too many people who are going to watch the same replay 5 times to get the right pic rather than play the game

Well, it's a lot easier to take pictures in GT4 then in real life. You only take good photos instead of taking 500 and wading through all of them trying to decide which one's are good. Action shots are great since you have forever to chose the shutter speeds and you can always change the pciture's white balance, aperature, whatever if you don't like it. :D

Not sure, we could probably outline the rules.
