I used my second digital camera, a Canon S100 for use as a rear curtain sync flash. Timing and setup was everything with this shot taken in front of my large tv.

i definitely thought this was going to win. i like the inclusion of the 'spacebar' text. its important to advertise something clearly, after all, 'giving it away' is what beer ads are all about, and anyone that thinks the alcohol industry isnt a big fat moneygrubbing whore is kidding themselves. you gave away that this was a computer game and you still managed to do a good job of putting the viewer where they belong in the ad - a position in which they desire the marketed product. inclusiveness is how ads appeal to people.
Tim - You were robbed! Your photo really belongs in the top three. Everything about it is well done. And the text in the upper left absolutely should be there. It's an ad for a video game input device, for crying out loud!
So good. The slight blur and sweat on your hands gives me that white-knuckle feeling, and the angle works there, too. Wish I had a monitor that big. Only thing I can think of to improve the image would be some kind of gel over the lightsouce, maybe blue or red, to make it a little more atmospheric.
I love how it looks like you are really driving and even the blurry hands give a sense of motion. I wish the upper-left hand corner text wasn't there, though!
no way!! ... dude that is excellent!! great action and composition, bravo -- question tho' did you intende to leave the text showing in upper left, cause without that i may never have figured out that you didn't shoot it on a race course
Whoa, excellent photo! Great colours, lots of excitement, effective motion blur, and the lighting and positioning of the brand name are exactly right. I think it would appeal to its intended market very well.
I like this shot! The blur adds to the sense of motion, but the subject of the advert (the center of the wheel) is VERY readable. Good job! Minus 1 point overall due to the "edges". See the "press the spacebar" in the upper left corner? And the screen edges on both sides? Still wonderful job. Photo 10 Advert 10 total 9
HAhAHA. Excellent. Took me a minute to figure out how the hell you managed to take this picture and then I noticed the "...press space bar to hide..." in the upper left. Nice job.
Are you sweating? Took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at: arcade, monitor, tv, etc. I think you should've cropped out the "press spacebar to hide controls" in the top left corner to keep me wondering. The wheel is nicely lit to draw our attention to it.
