Assignment: Drive (12 Nov - 3 Dec)

[Sime™]

This week we have another treat for you! G-Technology have come to the party and donated one of their award winning, quad connection G-Tech Q 1tb Thanks guys!

The theme is "Drive" and can be interpreted by you however you would like. What's your **DRIVE**

For example, this is my take on the theme... "Drives, Just..."

As ever, the rules...

1. Your image you submit should be taken between the 12th of November and the 3rd of December (until one of our ace moderators closes the the mini-contest).

2. Your post must include "Assignment: drive" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (640px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

Thanks very much to G-Tech for providing us with a brilliant assignment prize! Please check out the other products that G-Technology offer.

The next assignment is *happiness is...* and the winner will walk (or ride) away with a brand new Crumpler bag, Kindly donated by the good guys at Crumpler Australia!

I will be judging the assignment competition and will be announcing the winner on the DPS BLOG on Saturday December the 6th, 2008!

Thanks,
Sime

Thanks so much for your response. I was inspired by one of Chase Jarvis's photos when he was testing out the Nikon D90. Its on Nikon's site Chase Jarvis and Friends in the photo gallery at the bottom. Too bad I don't have that wonderful 14-24mm f/2.8 he used but I thought I captured the moment. Leaning on the back of a Mustang's soft top on PCH is another story entirely... having the seatbelt buckled around my legs to keep me "safe" was quite an experience.

Anything for a shot, right?
