I might actually submit photos for that photo contest again if they actually picked excellent photographs. I'm not expecting mine to be picked necessarily, but I would like to see good composition, lighting, and subject matter. Some of their winning picks have been average at best.

... and there's a good reason why, seeing some of the flunkie pictures.

Resolution has been the key problem. Too low, they can't use it for print, hence it's a near automatic loss.

-- Kane ... granted, there are some better ones that got passed up too, but everyone has their own opinions, so.
 
Man you suck at parking ur wagon.. lol not anywhere close to inbetween the lines..

In all seriousness tho, nice shots!

Depends on their standard, I guess. One of the shots of my car made the magizine, from a ~3000x2000 digital version, but I obviously didn't shoot the picture. I got a photo published in the local SCCA regional mag, and it was a digital picture of a 4x6 print. The dig. pic was no more than 1024x768, and extremely low quality. Looked OK in small format b&w. Nevertheless, I was disappointed that the one picture they chose was a car sitting on the grid. In the same gallery I submitted, there were 3 cars countersteering slides, and 3 lifting a wheel at an autocross. Only a dozen pics total...not hard to pick a good one when 75% are better than a car that's NOT MOVING. A couple of nice panning shots, too.

I'm not a fan of photo contests. Should we have another t-bricks contest? The first one was great, the second one did not have a lot of great shots.

Of the ones I submitted, the cover shot was a moving car, but not exciting. The other 3 were grid and start.
 
This one got me an "honourable mention" a few years back. Now the paint is sad, and the cancer is terminal...
