This design is an extremely limited run and probably will never be "sold", so heres your chance to own !

I can supply the shirt in most sizes from M to XXL, but will do my best to accomodate. Free postage to anywhere in the world with some oOple stickers of course.

What do you have to do ?


Take a cool photo of YOUR car -
This is a STILL photo competition - since just about any camera can take a great still photo.
The photo will be judged on nice lighting, setup, environment, cool angles, thought --- etc. Don't just bung up a photo of your car in your kitchen with orange lights and dishes in the background ! :D

Any R/C car, any scale, any one - as long as it's yours.


Post entries in here - if you need, use the photo posting info in the sticky-post in the general race chat section. or if you need extra help ask me.

Closing date is Sunday 17th December 2006 - and will be judged Monday 18th.

Good Luck! ;)

[Southwell]

[Bathy]

Wow for the first time Vicky’s label isn’t showing! I noticed it was showing on your ‘orange bib’ shot, started to think it was a fashion thing ha ha

I think a shot of my BX on covering up some nice boobies would be a winner… anyone wanna lend me some nice boobies, purely for the photo shoot! :rolleyes:

Ps im suffering from man-flu, its affecting my mind a little.

[jimmy]

haha
her label was indeed out, but she made specially sure to tuc it in before the photos this time so as not to look silly. I like to make her look silly! :p

[Lee Martin]

ill lend u my boobies!

[Bathy]

ill lend u my boobies!

It's an interesting offer... not the winning combination I was hoping for however :D

[jimmy]

I think I can state right now that it will not win! haha:wtf:

here is an entry on behalf of shane foot AKA footey of his Team Losi xxx cr.

many thanks gaz

[LiamD]

Not being awkward, but are photoshopped/edited pics allowed? Personally I don't think it would be in the spirit of the competition.

Will do my entry tonight... when I find my tripod!! (and when it stops raining) :D

BTW, Kyosho pic in the mirrors, uber cool!

[Pasqual]

Here is my entry.

It's my XRay T2

This is my entry:

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r303/ElliottHopkins/DSCN9643Small.jpg

Taken in the woods in Clayfield Copse, north of Reading, this afternoon after two packs of batteries.

I posed the car and just clicked away.

Elliott.

[telboy]

Not my car but one of my shells, very well captured by Mr Chand of Radio Race Car.:)

I've only really got pictures of shells and its not quite the same.

I know its not a 'pose' shot but its all i've got at the mo'. sorry

[bigred5765]

LEAN INTO IT :confused:

[WheelNut]

I don't know if you need to have the whole car in the photo, but here's my entry. Taken with a cheapo digi cam, got the lighting about right so it came out pretty good. more of an engine shot I suppose. The car is a Jammin CRT anyhow.

[Moose]

[ashleyb4]

You got a winner yet jimmy?

A

[jimmy]

Of Course! :p
Sorry for not announcing sooner but I was a bit rushed off my feet sunday/monday getting the neo photos up.
Some great photos here but I have to say after careful consideration - it has to be Jonathans awesome crazy mirror shot!

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jmberry/foroople1s2.jpg

Fantastic!
I shall be in contact with Jonathan soon to arrnage delivery of his lovely Tshirt :)

Thanks for those who entered and I will surely have a new lil competition up soon with a groovy prize! :D

[Jonathan]

:)
Thats great, Xmas has come early:D, thanks Jimmy.

Im glad everyone liked it, it was fun to set up and shoot. Nice to see everyone elses shots too.

[ashleyb4]

Well done jonathen

So how did you do it it has been puzzelling me:confused:

A

[Chris Doughty]

looks like a car in a box of mirrors to me...

well deserved winner!

only thing that could have beat it would have been an S4 in a box of mirrors! :D

[Col]

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jmberry/foroople1s2.jpg


Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it's just like Chris says: the car at the front that you can only see the very front on is the "original" car, sat on a mirror with 4 more mirror tiles around it to form a box. The clever bit is setting up the shot without getting the camera reflected in view.
Very simple, yet clever at the same time. Well done Jonathan - excellent photo

[Bathy]

Well done Jonathan, was a top effort!

I was just about to upload the 'boob-BX' photo, guess there is no point now?

:confused:

[Jonathan]

Heres an outtake, still makes for an interesting shot but as said keeping the camera out of the shot, while still getting an interesting angle takes a few goes :cool:
