Interesting that 2CV is still carrying a Dutch license plate..

[LeonOfTheDead]

looking at that 2CV I'm wondering how many people can fit in the front seats of the Camaro.

you'll be happy to know your image looks way better than usual :)

thank you, I just resized the same shot with Irfanview, and I think that looks actually better.....(no sharpening). I think things may have to do more with the screen quality than with th programme though.

with Irfanview the image is indeed a bit more sharpened, but there is a lot of pixelation too. I personally prefer the slightly blurred shot you got from ACDC than the Irfanview's one.

I can't even see that on my monitor. That's why I keep being puzzled about all those remarks. I can read "vodafone" on my irfanview shot, but hardly on the ACDSee shot.....both shots were not sharpened.

I see. On my monitor I can read it on both, surely Irfanview made it clearer.
Try Goodframe, it's free, fast, easy and quick to download and install. I use it all the time, and I think the results are good (if the original shot is good that is...).

well, I think I'll do it the way I like it on my monitor and when that does not corresponds to other people's screen, bad luck....

For what it's worth, I concur. :D

Night and day, IMO. The other Infraview shot in this thread looks quite a bit better than some of the shots in the past as well, but I think the ACDC shot still looks better.

I think we should first agree about what is "good looking";) . Perhaps I first should buy another laptop to enter the discussion on that. A new set of eyes is probably off limits.

cataracts perhaps?

laptops generally have 'bad' screens

Hey, does anyone know if we are going to have a tie breaking vote for Comp 215?

[Soloracer]

Nice Shot!

Can't wait to get that D90. Too many expenses though....

Come one Christmas!!

[Cotterik]

i presume the lambo was passing by as you were a passenger in the car? or was that an organized shoot?

[Fumacher]

We were on vacation in Italy with about 10 cars. All Ferrari's except for this Lambo.

That's how we could keep up with the Lambo.

We have a winner, its awesome! it have that sense of commercial photographs.

[clutch-monkey]

it does look like an ad, nice one ballz.
glare on the front of it is a tad annoying though.

[whiteballz]

yes, the glare was unfortunate, but the camera put up a brave fight considering the conditions. Winter sun setting directly onto the car, There was nothing i could do to help it with the camera I was using.

Amazing pat, great shot!

Was feeling pretty good about my chances till I saw your photo Pat :p

well, his horizon is not horizontal, if that is any consolation;)

Thanks, and I think you still have a good chance. I'm pretty sure you'll have my vote. :)

well, his horizon is not horizontal, if that is any consolation;)
Yeah, I messed with that a bit, but it looked a little weird when I leveled it. I think the road surface is actually tilted around the curve, so with the horizon level, all the cars are slanted and I didn't like the way it looked. I just liked the whole shot a little better with it tilted slightly like this.

Could someone take care of the voting thread? I just did the general comp. and damn, it sure is time-consuming. I'm willing to do one every week, the two is just too much...
