Comp 114 Weekly Automotive

[drakkie]

I think I've brought in the cheapest car so far this week.....

The Tiger we build is including all modifications also no more than 25.000€ Who is cheaper now

A shame the picture is terrible and you can't actually see enough of the car to know what it is...

the parts of the car seem to be hold together with paper tape so that may explain its cheapness.

lol They hold all kinds of electrical wires onto the frame until sort them out and fix them properly !

I can easily recognise it Did you ever try and take a picture while lying upside on a greasy floor ?? For some reason I like although it is far from my best.. You gotta enter something you know

[Wouter Melissen]

with all due respect david, you're probably better entering photos like this at a competition that has a higher quality standard. You're too good for everyone else here its practically you who wins every week

Why? There is nothing about his shot that makes it very difficult. What usually makes his shots so appealing is the captures. He clearly travels about a lot and visit a lot of events where these opportunities present themselves. He definitely has a keen eye for nice shots, but he does nothing you guys can't do yourself. It just takes some effort to actually go out and visit events.

This shot is mediocre for his standards as it has some focus issues. Pinin's shot is better, although the colour is a bit off.

I guess you're right. If you look at Piacki's pictures you see the same thing. I know he makes a lot of the same pictures, but he still makes the effort to go to Paris and walk around a lot (I know how hard it is to find the real exotics in Paris, I tried it last summer) and he comes up with nice pictures most of the times. I also try to go to as many events as I can, but not having a driving license usually is a big limit. I have to get my pics from tours in the city (that make me usually come up empty handed) and from events I can go to (AutoRai, ELE Rally etc. etc.).

I know that 300Zx takes great pictures, but as Wouter said: we can do that too if we put some effort in it. And if you see that somebody enters a great picture like that, you should be proud on every vote you get (at least, that's what I am).

While I might agree he's good, and he knows well how much I aprecciate his work, this doesn't seem the proper week for such a sentence. Although the capture is great, the quality of the shot if far from his best (because it was a hard one to make taking the distance and speed). Even he admitted it.
Anyway, while be light be better than us, that doesn't mean you can't beat, as it's been proven many times.
Last week, his less experienced brother entered a photo of similar dificulty, much better than this one with lesser equipment.
And more than once pics have won because the subect was funny or unusual and that's the spirit.
The point of this threads is to show what we shoot and have some fun about it. That's why although many of us believe the voting is usualy unfair, we still enter our pics every time we can.

Provided the voting thread is strictly for voting, and the discussion on the pics remain on the entry thread. This will avoid 'heavyduty' (McReis, Henk4, Wouter, etc) member's comments affecting amateurs .... like me

How and why are you so easily affected?

[john14]

In my opinion, Wouter and David post outstanding photographs. People can say Wouter and David visit many events and they have very good cameras but they still have to actually shoot/take the photograph. I hope you can understand my point.

I can't bear dumbing down.

You probably didn't know the good corners to find exotics...

I am planning a trip to Paris, why don't you tell us a little bit about it?
