Hello dear photography friends.

My name is Otto, and I am the host of the march shot on One Plus contest.

This time we ll come back to photography with colours, but feel free to post Black&White pictures as long as they meet our new theme:

Historic!

Update: Pictures can be taken from the past 12 months!!

As a special challenge, there are 4 sub themes, changing weekly, and we will start with:

Week one: Historic cars.

Week two: Historic motorbikes.

Week three: Historic trucks and tractors.

Week four: Historic machines.

Important: the current weekly theme is stated in bold red. Sample pictures below.

Get a deep dive in the automotive world, smell the oil, feel the vibrations, hear the sound of the racetrack.

Get your fingers dirty with grease, but keep your lenses clean!

Here in germany a car counts as historic, when it s more than 30 years old since the day of its first registration.

Pretty sure it s different around the world, but nevertheless there are enthusiasts all around the world who love old technology and wonderful designs.

Just some inspirations :

All pictures shot on Oneplus devices. No edits despite of some cropping.



Try some ununsual perspectives to catch the design:







Details matter!





We are on the race track!

How Do We Select Winners?

The pre-selection team consists of: @Bouncer71 , @cdnfarmer , @hennes , @otto2 , @script , @TibiTibi , and @woSch. We check all pictures of the contest, discuss, which we think are the best, and collect them in a separate thread. Then this group of experts, plus OnePlus staff members, go in a second round through that collection and nominate the 4 or 5 best pictures of the current week. Out of this elite the final weekly winning picture gets selected. It's really a long and careful process.

Finally, the selected picture has to get checked! Therefore it's needed to contact the person that has posted the picture, ask him or her to send in the original uncompressed file, to get the EXIF data checked. Only after that final check the winning picture can be announced in the forum. And again, it's never settle.
