There isn't much that's cooler than a worldwide car show. Do you think your ride has what it takes to compete in our Summit Street and Strip Show? The best way to start is with a great photo. Here are some helpful shutterbug hints to get your car into the show:
|
|
 |
|
GL1. Your vehicle is the feature.
People and objects in the picture will just block the view of your car or truck and draw eyes away from it. Images with people will not be accepted.
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
GL2. Make sure your ride takes up the whole viewfinder.
If the car is just a little part of the shot, how can anyone see it to judge it? Likewise, if you're too close, viewers can't see the whole car. Don't cut off parts of the car.

GL3. Action shots are cool, but not for our show.
They usually turn out blurry from the movement of the vehicle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GL4. Did we mention that your car or truck should be in focus?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GL5. Lighting is key.
For a great shot, if you are shooting inside, have plenty of light on the side of the vehicle that is facing the camera. If you are outside, have the sun at your back, and keep your car or truck out of any shadows. Photos taken just before sunset generally turn out really well. Remember - glare is always, always bad.

|
|
|
|
|
GL6. Practice, practice, practice.
Well, that's it. Common sense always prevails, and great pics can help land you in the winner's circle. Good luck, and get those shots in!

GL7. Remember,
you must own the image you send. Summit Racing reserves the right to reject any submission.
