    I think this is a great idea to get more people out there shooting some good pictures!

    I don't have any ideas other than to maybe make a thread starring the Fonz CLEARLY illustrating the subtle differences between horizontal and vertical. :rolleyes:

    I'm always a fan of these threads until JoeLookatMe posts a picture of his own car in the wrong format just because he wants it to be famous.

    I don't envy having to weed out the dozens of crap photos to get to the good ones. It's easy to miss some quality, I would imagine.

    I figured it out, when I stand vertical my pictures come out horizontal but when I lay horizontal my pictures come out vertical, is there a special lens I can get for my camera to shoot vertical?

    Hey guys, finally found time to check out the HAMB when a guy called me after seeing one of my photos posted on this thread. I'm Robert McCarter by the way. There are some way cool photos in this contest. It's kind of like being at a show. You just think you have a cool car until you see some others and realize how much more work you need to do!

  8. Random Thoughts.....

    1. Bring back the " paART's " feature that ran a couple time in the Gazette, a few years back, but this time using a photo or a couple photos submitted by everyone throughout the year. You could run the feature on Good-Guys.com or maybe in the Gazette, and use it to feature a specific overall theme each time, such as: driving photos, scenic photos, detail shots, engine photos, etc...

    2. Start a submission thread for each event and have everyone post their favorite photo(s) they took from that event, then use the best photo from each one in the yearbook as the intro shot for that event.

    Sorry about that man I misunderstood. Your avatar pic is my favorite I have seen from the contest so far. Thanks for the kind words on our work we get the honor of capturing a moment that took a builder usually years to complete

    Thanks, I took the aviator pic right before I blew my roadster apart for paint. My favorite work is with low or dramatic lighting. I know it's shameful to submit a picture of my own car but it was such a cool shot.

    Boy ain't that the truth...............very good comment.....this FNG obviously has a clue.

    I think the talent is even more evident, in the art and photography on the HAMB, because money or luck has nothing to do with it.

    I got sidetracked with the judging process and never got a shot.

    I will be announcing the winner tomorrow (1/15/10) though.
