POTM - Your other ideas - Just for fun

[lewisflintham]

I'm not sure if you lot are the same as me, but each month that I enter, I'm never sure which one to post! Just wanted to share my other ideas for the "Close-Up" theme for June's POTM. What were everyone else's "possibilities"?

Thanks.

Some I like more than others. The dashboard RS logo was one of my favourites I think.

Some GREAT shots in there. I like the 2nd one down (Headrest.....steering wheel ?) the best though..........

Maybe we'll do away with the comp - and just have a gallery of your visions each month !

 

[lewisflintham]

Lol. Thanks, nice of you to say so. Nahh though lol, I love to see everyone else's ideas too I just find it hard to pick which one is best. I thought the one that I went for was colourful, so it would hopefully stand out.

I love the potm of the month comps. Great excuse to get the camera out each month, and of course I love to get out in the car (admittedly, these were on the drive though).

I've got an idea ready for July. I just hope I can get the shot and it turns out ok.

And its passionate people like you that make every month a pleasure to run Lewis Having a plan, cracking the camera out and getting in the car was exactly the intention......

I had a few ideas.....but being late to the ball.....most of the ideas (Or similar ideas to mine) had already been done in June.

So i tried to get the Renault Sport Manifold badge really standing out amongst a shadowed background. I was moderately happy with it. The other ideas i had, i have unfortunately already deleted so cant share :-(

And even though i picked the subject for July, and have had a little chance to think about it; I'm currently stumped !!!!

Awesome Lewis.

Put me to shame bud, interior looks so clean! Mine is pretty gross right now just not had the time for anything lately...

I took this shot after the comp closed and a bit by accident.

So much better than my original last ditch entry

**photoshopped @Big Ben

We all know them badges don't fit Jacks wheels

Seriously. Great shot that with the badge perfectly in focus and the background blurring away. It still gives an impression of depth and space - even from such a close-up shot.

You make it sound like I meant it

Goes both ways

Just to give you guys a slight 'teaser'.....

Keep the month on month entries coming. Myself and @Jimmy do have a plan for something a bit special later in the year in terms of the photographic comps.

No more clues. I'm sworn to secrecy and Jimmy will kill me

Thanks Chris. There's a few bits of dust on there. You don't really notice them when you're in the car. It's when I'm scrutinising my "close up" pics lol. I even re-took the "steering wheel rs" one, cos I saw some dust, and there's still some. Needed a little brush to clean it I think.

Superb shots Lewis. Absolutely LOVE the "Cup" one. Definitely my favourite.

 

[Jimmy]

Really great photos Lewis, I honestly didn't realise people went to so much effort with POTM, however I'm glad that they do! I love yours too @Big Ben , we have some real talent on the forum when it comes to photos!

Thanks for the kind words on the competition too - we really like running this every month and it's nice to see such a good response towards it.

As @sevenfourate says, plans are afoot for the end of the year... Keep your eyes peeled and your lens covers off!

Are we doing a naked Clio.net calendar? That would make for an interesting end of year competition

Possible charity angle as well

I could never vote for this photo - there's 2 specs of dust on the bottom right of the steering wheel!!!
