 Guardian's February photo assignment: Cars! Just spotted this on the Guardian website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/ ... intcmp=239Any budding photographers fancy giving the poor picture editors a break from shots of Mondeos, Astras and Golf GTIs? There's tips from a pro here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/ ... hotography I think I'll have a go. Anyone else up for it? (Having said this, there's probably loads of pics already on this site (esp. in the Deuche Speciales section) that could grace their final selection...)

Re: Guardian's February photo assignment: Cars! Won't it be full of entrants with all the latest SLR kit and/or photo-shopping clever dicky's getting cool effects? I've a hard drive of stuff taken with a Panasonic Lumix while not really standing still if that's any good.

Re: Guardian's February photo assignment: Cars! I'll be relying on a Box Brownie, the natural beauty of my car + a half-decent location... everything else will sort itself out, I'm sure.

The best kit in the world can't replace a lack of "eye". Which, of course, is why I use a ho-hum camera. Because no matter WHAT I use, my photos will only ever be mediocre...

Re: Guardian's February photo assignment: Cars! toomany2cvs wrote: The best kit in the world can't replace a lack of "eye". I quite agree. But the best kit allows for pin sharp photographs of Tesco's car park on a rainy Sunday, which when photoshopped into grainy black and white provide some sort of film-noir existentialist comment on life. (well to Guardianista's they do) Whereas I'll just have those boring old shaky shots of the Himalayas.
