As long as I can, I'll keep doing monthly pic contests.

No idea what topics we may choose in the future, but I'm really not a picky guy.

Ok, lets see what else is in the ol' portfolio

Mercedes Bens AMG day at Laguna Seca.









Ok, I honestly forgot I even had these ones. Some of my favorites from the 2008 American Le Mans Series at Laguna Seca.

So what was the overall winning photograph across all the forums? Or was the GTR it? Honestly, as a photographer, I wouldn't have even put that shot in the options for the winners, VDMTom's shot of the new GTR on the track with the yellow Skyline behind it is a much better shot in terms of motorsports AND general photography standards. Pleiad7's #22 shot was better too

Congrats to Rachel for winning though! She's always too critical of her shots.

We're not professional photographers, and we are also taking into account the car and location and whatnot.

Sorry if you disagree, I'll be making a September thread later today, so be sure to post your pics up and we'll choose another winner next month!

Eh, I think I'll stick to the original monthly photography threads unless there's already stuff in my portfolio to dump in here.

Who won the "overall" place though?

We're all going to decide tonight, but I'm also contemplating a creative finish to all this where the winners get to decide.

I am overly critical because I am surrounded by phenomenal photographers here on i-club!

While it may in theory be a good idea, it might be kind of hard to get that many people from different forums to look at/judge one set of pictures. You're also going to have friendship biases.

I don't bother with "winners" for the monthly themes on here because everyones perception of art is different, and for me its more about getting out there and taking pictures (people should be striving for their best every time they use their camera anyways).
