Fiatz79 you don't really have to wait for votes on a "save". Scores stay the same so you can just post up a new challenge.

Time to have a bit of fun.

Today is National Awkward Moments Day.

In honor of the day:

Post a picture of your Subaru in a strange or awkward place.

I may have to bow out of this one since I broke my toe this week and it's "awkward" to drive. (Or to fit my giant foot into the car). :spin:

As awkward a place as I've been in my legacy.. Completely stock surrounded by slammed tuners..

Holy cow is that Photoshopped? Looks gorgeous.

Not a chance.....LOL

It is post processed from a RAW file, in Lightroom 5.7. The essential issues are changing the color balance to more blue...spookier, and adapting the shadows so as to produce more of the car jumping off the page. Also, note the fog lights and high beams are on.....this is done in the computer, but in the final analysis it should look like ti was shot that way.....

I do this with race cars, etc. as in this shot of Paul Menard in the Xfinity Series at Road America last year:

And, as long as this is the photo page, sort of, here is one where the entire sign had to lighted in Lightroom, as electrical problems prevented getting the sign to work. Again, the idea is to have it look as if it was done only in camera.

And there you have the answer....

Nice work Msmoto - you got this one (thanks laz).

Hopefully we see some more of your awesome shots

Well, I appreciate the honor, and I will be posting some more stuff....for car fans, at Road America this year I will be capturing the Vintage cars running in mid May...maybe some old Subus, and the Brian Redman Vintage thing...or what one could call the vintage cars of the MMG crowd, and then the Indy Cars... For airplane fans, the big fly in at Oshkosh....will be doing this too. If one likes aluminum trailers, i.e., Airstream, this is what I pull with a truck, and attend a lot of rallies.

My Legacy should fall into some sunrise and sunset shots, so it will change colors....LOL

That's all nice but you need to post the winners count and a new challenge.

Waiting for Next Challenge Please.. [emoji41]

If the "winner" is supposed to post the challenge for the next up....well, how does including the sun or sunrise/sunset in your photo sound?

Required: The vehicle, the sun or after/before it is seen. Anything else goes.

A sunrise or sunset shot will be the easiest, and here is an example .....

Of course....wrong car, but this is the theme...

Make Sure you post up the Standings add your name with a win.. Then NEXT CHALLENGE..

Not sure I understand all this Standings stuff, but for the recored if anyone is at Road America during the Spring Vintage thing, Mid-May, the Indy Cars, or the Brian Redman gathering, i usually park my Airstream either on Hurry Downs (between 7, 8) or in the Carousel. I look like this:

I make wicked espresso...

OK Msmoto, I'll break it down for you. This is not a random pic thread, it is a 6th Gen photo challenge game thread. If you don't understand it please read the first page.

You have to copy the standings from the last challenge, add yourself to it in a new post and issue a new challenge, like you did before. If no one posts in a certain amount of time, you have to save yourself with a pic depicting your challenge with your 6th gen. After that you loose a point and issue another easier challenge.

Please refrain from posting random pictures in this thread, as there are other threads dedicated to that type of posting. Now you have to post the standings, but if you can't, then one of us will do it so that we can keep the game going.

Let me know if you need more clarification.

Thanks, I am not certain I understand all this, but maybe someone can handle the details and I will post only photos of my Legacy as the rules suggest.

So, if one of you can take over the challenge, put up the scores, I will attempt to add some eye candy as time permits.

And, for my "non-qualifying" photos, I will possibly start a thread on photography of vehicles, if this is something forum members would find helpful.

Again, thanks for the opportunity to be a forum member....

OK Let's get the ball rolling again. Msmoto you're welcome to post up photos that meet the current challenge but if you win (4 thanks) then the idea is you set the next challenge. It's meant to be a bit of a game / fun / challenge and the idea is to keep the whole thing moving along.

There is a section on this forum for that. Please browse a little to locate it.
