Last year we had a contest for the Best Photo taken at the West Coast Classic.
I think we should do it again.
Use this thread to submit your entries.
You can post a photo you took, or nominate one taken by someone else.
At noon on Monday May 9th I will start a poll with the top 10 (in my opinion).
You can then vote on who will be recognised as the 'best of the best'.
The winner will received the praise and adoration of the 914 community
as well as the Nevada vanity 'PORSCHE' license plate shown below.

I'll start things off with this shot taken by Brer.
I might be a little prejudice since it shows my car in the front.

I like the one in Aaron's sig. The wide-view of all those teeners

Just about ANY shot by Grasshopper... what a great job he did!

I suppose this one doesn't count. It's not really during the event. But I like it.

I like these two.

The first shows the reflection of the RS in the Alien:

Venice Beach:

Your girlfriend washing the Porsche, priceless.

I vote for the VegasRacer pic because my car is the 2nd in line.

I like this one - my favorite car on a cool twisty road



... and as you can see - yellow is not always faster

well, this one is very cool, too

Maybe we could have a run of posters made of the winning pic. We will be moving into a new place soon and we will need art for the garage walls. Posters in poster frames are inexpensive, and easily replaced if they get damged. I will also need some art for the new office too. I too like the first one posted.

Heres an entry for the "Artsy" category. Taken at the Streets of Willow - a PS solarized version of my Sunflower Yellow car.

I like this one.

Wow, Tom,

What a beautiful shot. It glows. What kind of film did you use & filter? Digital or 35mm?? That is real art!!!!

Great shot, but my favorite picture is Vegas Racer's black one (first one on the list). I love the look of his black stealth 914 looking car. It's done right with a touch of chrome.

Tom

I think that my photo submitted should get merit in some category!

Thanks Tom. I started out with my normal digital (Nikon D100) shot (below) and pulled off some Photoshop "magic" with a solarizing filter and fooled around with the lighting and contrast. PS is great fun to play with!

I agree with Tom that John's (Vegas Racer) is the best representation of WCC05 and I agree that many of Grasshopper's shots are also very nice; I believe this one was his favorite and its definitely one of mine too.

thanks for submitting one of my photos, and thanks for the compliments. That one is still my favorite, but here are a few more that i want to enter.

the last

...ok one more

Of course, it helps if the subject you use is immaculate to begin with. Love your car, Tom!!

BTW, Rick, you wanna drop over & color sand/buff out my car?
Any weekend would be fine

Ok, here is my best shot. I think we should have a top 10 or 20...

a bit artsey, and may be too big... here goes.

For some reason I really like that one.....

Oh yeah, it has my car in it!

Thanks!

My vote goes to "Vegas Racer's" black car leading the cars through the hills.

'nother last minute entry...

my entry... or least a pic to show why sway bars might be needed

sorry its grainy i had to zoom in

My vote is VegasRacer's.

The pinnacle of what I think 914 should be doing. Lookin good throught the twisties and commanding respect!

I love the shot with John's 914 in front, but this has to be one of the coolest "artsy" 914 shots I've ever seen. This would be my choice.
