I don't think that would qualify for G8 of the month though. I think it would be sick for Caseys car to be submitted next month crossing the finish line. His car is sick and deserves to have his car submitted solo.

Against which cars? G8s sure. My other car, not a chance. :slap:

Your car is sick. If you submit it 12 times and it doesn't win, the G8 of the month is flawed. Voting for a car that has rims only is weak sauce but it is what it is.

I feel like G8 of the month should be about capturing a G8 in a picture that evokes emotion.

I don't think it should be about mods or rims or engine bay bling, but just a great shot that captures a G8 at its finest.

But that is just me. :)

I guess it depends. I always though it was supposed to be about the car overall but the one pic rule might be taken to indicate that you are right and its just a photo contest.

Well I don't know what else it could be.

Most G8's are not highly modded, so if it were a mod contest than very few would have a chance to compete.

Anyone can take a compelling picture however.

wreckwriter
01-07-2012, 10:34 AM
Cars don't have to be highly modded to be great cars. Minor mods can flow together well, or not so well. I guess I had the wrong impression. Seems it should be called G8 Photo of the month maybe?

I can dig it.

The G8 photo of the month thing is a rough subject for me, because I think that a lot should be considered when it comes to what makes a good photo. Is it highly photoshopped? Is the exposure way off? Then there are the small things like does it look like a pole is growing out of the roof of your car or does it clearly appear to be part of the background? Are the wheels turned the correct way yadayada. All those things factor into what makes a good photo to me at least.

Not that I haven't seen some great photos when G8 of the month, but I have also seen some not so great ones that totally miss the details. Or they are so highly photochopped they are no longer the real thing. Or better yet you can't even tell what type of car it is.

You obviously have photography knowledge. Me, not so much. I look at a pic and just kinda think does it catch my eye or not. My wife is into photography but my knowledge is minimal.

Based purely on the pic I would have voted for either you or Polo.

Thanks man. I'm not nit picky about photos for the most part. It just hast to make me feel something. Lord knows I don't take perfect pictures and my knowledge and experience with photography is only the 1.5 years I've owned a camera to take pictures. I just look at professional photos, and try to capture that same sorta vibe or moment when they took there picture. I will take 100 pictures to find that one that I think is great.

I just need the picture to make me feel something, and it doesn't take photochop or a professional photographer or camera to do that.

Hello fellow G8ers. Just adding my 2 cents.

Ultimately, the interpretation of what should be the COTM is left to the voters.

The people that like G8s with high HP will vote for that photo.
The people that like G8s with suspension & wheels will vote for that photo.
The people that like G8s taken by a good photographer will vote for that photo.
etc...

Like many others, I sorta take all of the above into consideration & find myself being bipolar voting for a stock G8 one month & heavily modified car the next. ;)

Good luck, everyone!

P.S. Does this month's list have the highest horsepower total? I know that atleast Buford, Polo, wreckwriter & I are blown. A few others might be cammed.
