Attention: New Rule put into place after Week 9 Voting.



ญญญญ• Photo must be taken in Gran Turismo 4.
• Photo can not be edited through any other means becides the Photo-lab at the in-game garage.
• Competition will alternate themes. Every odd week is the open comp where all pictures are acceptable, on even weeks the theme will be chosen by the winner of the prior competition. Themes can include: rally, flying cars, cars by brand, tracks, etc.
• Picture MUST be in the format of 800x600 or 600x800 to be acceptable in the competition and to coincide with UltimateCarPage.com's rule regarding inline images.
• Pictures should be no more than 30 days old. This can not be tested so please use the honor system.
• Competition will last one week, beginning on Wednesdays with a vote starting on Tuesday and lasting exactly one day.
• Having friends/family intentionally vote for you or the creation of multiple accounts will not be tolerated. If it is caught, it will result in a two-week Disqualification.
• Once a photo is submitted, it is final. No if's and's or but's. (suggestions allowed)
• No late entries are permitted. Photo should be submitted before voting thread is made by yours truly.
• Good luck, may the best member win. :)
Since it's an even week, we need a theme, which I will provide in about 15 minutes. Shoot Away! :)

If you have a digi-cam, which I know you do, you can PROBABLY attach your USB cable to your camera, and plug the other end into the USB port at the front of the PS2. Then when you're in photo lab, select the photo, then choose 'transfer to USB flash drive' or whatever which is your camera. Just make sure the camera is connected to the cable and the cable to the PS2 and turn the camera ON before transferring it to the 'flash drive'. If it doesn't work, it may be because your camera is not compatible.

ive tried and it doesnt seem to want to talk to the camera. Can you not just use a usb cable? or does it have to be a usb memory stick?

If you can get your ps2 close enough, then you could just stick the usb cable from the PS2 to the computer.

no can do with the ps2 > computer, unless you can find a usb emulator.
yes you do need either a usb stick, or some gens of ipods, or some cameras(guess not yours).

(i've tried the ps2>pc with no luck)

I know I have asked the same question about how to connect my ps2 to my pc! I have been trying to find a flash driver That I can install on my pc and use my pc a flash pen! most all the flash pens run off of a flash driver! I just down loaded one and will try it to see if it will work. I will post a followup! I even thought about copying the files that are in the flash pen that operates it but I am afraid I might damage the pen. Because the flash pen I am using is my friends. Has anyone tried it?

nice comparison, a little angle revealing the side of both cars would make it beter

I never knew you could connect iPods to the PS2, but I have a question that is definitly noobish. How do I take the pictures while driving? Mind you I only got the game last week along with Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition. I've been playing MC3 more though and its great.

you save the replay, go to the replay icon and play it, hit select to pause and play with the angles and what not.(the select button is the 1 for the takin the pic, gives a menu for that).

as for connecting ps2>pc i tried searching for some sort of usb emulator, since i didn't have a memory stick(till last 2 comps when my cousin gave me his stick he got with a laptop.....from D(h)ELL), but found none, i also though usb sticks have to use a driver, but i don't know how to get it out, i'll ask around for an emulator, maybe there is such thing or somebody is willing to do such thing.

Perhaps, I'm going to have to get creative and think of a pic to do. I fooled around with it yesterday and came up with a couple pictures but nothing final yet.

You can't save the replay in 2-player mode.

My first entry in the GT4 photo comp
a merc on the Neurenburgring flying only a few centimeters :rolleyes:


With such a good attachment system, why the 800x600 restriction ?!

Still need to get mine up, whens the voting start?

Because when I make the voting thread, I can just copy the image location and put all of the pictures full-res, inline with the thread. Just check out the voting thread to see what I'm talking about.

With attachments, I'd have to save every pic and upload them full-res, if not, you'd have a page full of links. It makes voting and uploading 100% easier.


Still need to get mine up, whens the voting start?
Tomorrow, at about 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. (-5 from London)

out of curiosity, why is it that you always leave posting your photo to the last minute???


anywayz i was tooling around with different shutter speeds with my photos so let us know what ya think of them...

my entry (was a toss up between the 1st and 3rd pics below, but i just wanted the pic to be a bit different to the usual ones posted in here in terms of the style of the photo)
http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8486/img002317rm.jpg

all images that are attached are original resolution... 1st was taken @ 1/250, 2nd was taken @ 1/500 and the 3rd was taken @ 1/4000

Because I'm a very heavy procrastinator, and I can be impatient. By posting my picture like an hour before closing, people know I'm about to make a poll, so I kill like three birds with one stone. (procrastination, impatient, signal of comp. closing)

Some may think that seeing the others' pics first gives them a slight advantage because then they'll know what to compete against before making their own pic. Then again Rockefella's way of posting a pic right before the voting I actually find useful; if his pic isn't up, then I'm not late. (Edit: so much for that :D )
