POTM Submission Rules
1. One win per user every 3 months.
2. Picture must be of your own or other LTXTECH Members car. In the event of another members car, you can nominate that member.
3. The top 5 submissions will be accepted.
4. To kept the spirit of the image and the vehicle the staff appreciates that no people be in the image to skew the voting threads.
5. Images should be thought out and well planned. Generally how I determine what images will be used, I scroll through the whole thread and choose the top 2 or 3 submissions. Then I will proceed to choose additional images that may be from a driveway or have wheels pointed in the wrong direction. Images that have poles and trees sticking out of the top will get passed over the first time through.
6. Must be a LTX Powered vehicle. Engine swaps count towards awesome points.
A cell phone image such as this is not generally a good idea. You will note the location the picture was taken from and does nothing from the vehicle. Newer cameras will have optical sensors that will rival some older point and shoots so if the image is clear and a good quality it can still be used.
Poor cell phone quality
If there is a tree or pole growing out of the vehicle
Now we look at something a bit better, but still kinda crappy. Almost uniform background with the trees, a lower image of the car but, it is poorly positioned and the power lines take your focus away from the car.
Here we have an image of a car in harsh day light, but the location is uniform, good quality and no crazy tire angle and the windows are up
Good tire angle, windows up and no overly done post processing the concrete support kinda kills it though. (This image was taken with a 8 year old camera 6mp camera at night)
Taken from a driveway windows down and no thought brought to it.
If you can see a tire like this while the car is standing still probably a no go

Cost the equipment is irrelevent. Uploading a good large file with thought is key.

I just uploaded these 3 pictures directly from my phone 3 different ways. Letting the fourm or Tapatalk host it extremely removes the quality and size of the photo. Uploading it to facebook gained the best result.
Your other option will be to upload the image to a website such as imageshack, photobucket or the like.

Great tips Chris! I am glad you are posting the rules and suggestions. We have so many beautiful LTX cars here. Its a real shame whenever I see them being posted in someones driveway, or with a lousy cell phone.
Remember people, the point of showing off your car that you have spent time and money too look good, is that you offer the same time and effort when taking its picture. Go some place that shows off your car well. Take many high resolution pics with the best camera you have. Don't have a good camera? I bet you know someone who does that would probably let you borrow one, or even take pics of your car for you. This is where great pics come from. Being creative, taking your time, and most of all, putting in some effort rather than spending all day waxing your car to end up taking 3 seconds to take a lousy shot with your cell phone from your pocket of the car sitting in the driveway.1995 Z28 - disfunctional now, perhaps insane after its "treatment"

Current POTM Rules as of April 30, 2015:
1. One win per user every 3 months.
2. Picture must be of your own or other LTXTECH Members car. In the event of another members car, you can nominate that member.
3. The top 75% of submissions will be accepted, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
4. To kept the spirit of the image and the vehicle, the staff appreciates that no people be in the image to skew the voting threads.
(Action pictures that have a driver that can be seen will be accepted.)
5. Images should be thought out and well planned. The ones chosen for voting are based on quality, idea and general picture etiquette. i.e wheels turned the wrong way, trees growing out of cars, extremely bad sun/shadow usage or size/resolution or image. I do not choose pictures based on my opinion of anyone's vehicle and if anyone feels that way, please speak your mind in a post or PM.
6. Must be a LTX Powered vehicle. Engine swaps count towards awesome points.
Note 1: Cell phone images used to be very poor quality. This is no longer the norm, so don't be intimidated to submit because you don't have high-speed photography equipment.'72 Nova "HadeSS"
