Alright fellas (and ladies), post up your entries for Decembers "Pic of the Month" here.

Here are the rules;

Post up a pic of a car you want to enter the monthly "Pic of the Month" contest. Each member is allowed 1 (AND ONLY ONE) pic per month. Photo's don't have to be of their car, they can be anyones car they choose to pick. The photo can be photoshopped, or just posted up in its raw original form. Once the end of the month has come, 3 finalists will be chosen (by me for now) and there will be a poll for everyone to vote for their favorite. Once the poll has been closed, the poll will decide the winner.

Enjoy! And post away!

Where is a somewhat high quality place to upload the photos to? Photobucket butchers the quality and size, fquick is also a little small but quality is slightly better.

Personally, I like www.tinypic.com ; as their quality is good. Sometimes the pics I take are very large as they come from my top dollar digital SLR camera, and tinypic makes them look big, but I can just go to windows paint and shrink them down to size.

Can there be a rule banning plain every day parking lot pictures. Those are the one photos people put up on LS1Tech that absolutely kill me.

My least favorite has definatly got to be the convienient shot of the car in the driveway. (Come on people, at least take your car somewhere decent to take pictures of it :banghead:)

Either way, I can't tell people "how" to take good pictures, just like I can't make a rule not to submit them for "Pic of the Month". Sorry Alex, but any pic of a car can be posted no matter how bad it may look to you or I.

Haha its all good I understand. It was worth a shot. Thats one of my biggest pet peeves is driveway and parking lots with cars scattered in the background.

(I'm guilty of the driveway shots, but I never play them off as my "official pictures")

CALL911

The key is in three things really (none of which is having to have an F-body). 1st, you need a very clean ride. Scratches dents, inperfections in any way will make a big difference. 2nd is you need a car that sets itself apart from other cars like it. If someone posts up a stock V6 Camaro with nothing done, chances are the other picture of the guy with another V6 camaro lowered and on some sweet wheels other than the stockers is going to look better. The 3rd and probably most important thing is knowing how to take good pictures. If you snap off a few in a parking lot or in your driveway because its "convienient" then its not really going to be as good as say a picture of your car on the edge of a cliff in the mountains with the sun rising behind it. Granted that may be hard to get a picture of, but the point is you are making an effort to try to get a good picture, not a convienient one.

BTW, I am not biased towards any kind of car when picking the finalists. As much as I hate Fords, someone could have a sweet mustang picture, and if its a better car picture than the others, it will be one of my chosen finalists from which everyone picks the winner.

FWIW, i think that all pictures that are submitted should be given a shot to be voted for. Submit pictures in this post, close the post, then put up a poll with all the pictures submitted.. only clause to that would be once a picture is submitted, the same one cant be submitted again, we dont want to see the same pic submitted 4 times in a row

CALL911
12-08-2007, 09:51 PM
Well the problem with that, (as I see it at least) is that if every picture is voted on by everyone for the winner, most likely you will have everyone vote for thier own picture, and the winner will be decided by like 2-5% of people viewing and voting that didn't submit a picture.

As of now (at least while I am running the show) the finalists will will remain chosen by me. If someone wants to submit the same picture over and over that is thier choice, but I am looking for who has the best 3 out of all of them for everyone to decide the winner, and I doubt I would pick the same picture twice unless there isn't any other better options.

What about if they win, they're out of the running for a year or something. (that specific picture, not that member obviously)

So the pictures aren't repetitive. Just in case. Meaning That blackbirdws6 can't use that picture now (the nov. ride of the month one). Wasn't sure if you wanted to throw that in there.

You're really getting into specifics that I don't think you need to, as I highly doubt the winner of a particular "Pic of the Month" will submit the same winning picture for another contest.

However, as stated previously, if they do decide to do so, they will have that option. Keep in mind that I doubt I would choose a previous winning "Pic of the Month" for a finalist unless there really are no other options. Even then, everyone will be able to decide who they want still for the winner.

The problem is there is no way to enforce it. It would be all an honor system. Sorry, but as long as I am running the show, the 3 finalists will be chosen by me, and there will be a poll to decide the winner.

Yes, it can be enforced. Just set up the poll so that the votes are public, and if someone votes for their own picture, one of the staff will edit the poll accordingly.

This is something I may consider if enough people want it this way. Look for a poll on "voting for the pic of the month" in this forum.
