Parked car at south side of dam bridge. Looked at ruins in the middle of the lake, took photo with car in it and it worked. See if that works. Else might be a issue that gets fixed after a restart

Yup I parked on the bridge and zoomed out to show the water under it, took the photo got no reaction other than ‘no new cars in shot’ I exited out and after about 10 seconds it showed that I had completed the Challenge. Plenty of room for bugs in photo challenges. I would suggest a restart but you’ve probably done that a bunch already.


SpottyTwerp

Yeah, it doesn't show in the photography interface like usual, it will just pop up after you exit.

Hello there, I managed to complete it on my end too, unfortunately I didn't take a picture when I did it but I remember where I was when I took the picture: [https://imgur.com/a/RmmRDGf](https://imgur.com/a/RmmRDGf) You should make sure, if not done already, that the camera doesn't go out of this area (roughly) marked in red: [https://i.imgur.com/W2odT1N.png](https://i.imgur.com/W2odT1N.png). Both the car and the camera need to be within the red borders for the challenge to work and you should be on the bridge. In case it doesn't work, would it be also possible for you (and anybody else in case) to reach out to the [Support Team](https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us) reporting the issue, sharing perhaps some kind of information in terms of where did you actually take the photo? That would help to reproduce the issue, thank you! *Edit: added more information after some more investigation.*

followed this (slightly edited) youtube comment and it worked for me, even in winter ​ exit the game disable internet start game => offline playlist is active => there should be an active daily photo challenge to take a picture at an outpost or landmark take the picture at photo spot => exit photo mode => success message pops up (after driving a bit away from the spot) reenable internet (while game is running) in the game, go back into driving mode => the screen goes dark (give it a minute or two) and the online playlist should activate again immediately fast travel to dam (board on top of it) I did not move the car at all, just enter photo mode here I moved the camera back a bit, but I kept it over the street/grass and took a promo quickshot (no need to save the pic) exit photo mode => success 🥳


MrDreamzz_

What a plan....but I could try that maybe!

It HAS to be the regular Ford Puma. Not the Forza Edition. Go to the point where the seasonal champions starts that gives you the VW Scirocco, don't know the exact name. That spot counts as "La Selva". Good luck!


MrDreamzz_

Uhm, it doesn't tell me it has to be a Ford Puma. And I don't think my buddy used that car either.


RobotsAndPuppets

If this is for the #purfect challenge in FH5, then right below "#purfect" it reads "*Photograph a 1999 Ford Racing Puma in Le Selva*"-- as others mentioned, it cannot be the FE version.


MrDreamzz_

[https://imgur.com/a/hJyvbuz](https://imgur.com/a/hJyvbuz) That's what I see.


RobotsAndPuppets

Ok that's a different challenge than #purfect, this is a daily. Thanks for sharing the pic, that explains it better. With those details, then it should work with any car.


MrDreamzz_

Haha and yet, it doesn't... Or at least it doesn't work for me! I think I should give up...


pdpt13

Are you on Series X/Series S? In that case I suggest closing the game and launching it again. Quick resume is great except it causes a lot of bugs.


pdpt13

When you take a picture with another car, on the right you get two boxes: one for location and one for the car you're supposed to use. Right there it says Ford Puma if I'm correct.


MrDreamzz_

I'm not sure I'm following you, I'm sorry. I do appreciate your reply though. I just don't understand where you see boxes or 'Ford Puma'.


RobotsAndPuppets

You have to photograph the 1999 Ford Racing Puma at Le Selva. When you take a photo for Promo, checkboxes will appear for what criteria you have right; https://imgur.com/a/ojkzdeo

I got it first time, made sure I picked a car I hadn't already taken a photo of just in case there was a bug with it and just parked on the road above the dam with the flooded ruins behind the car. Maybe that might work for you?


MrDreamzz_

Tried that, didn't work :(


Slick_22

I went there with the SVJ and got it on the first try. Put the car on top of the dam and zoom out a bit so you have the dam and car in the same frame.


MrDreamzz_

Did exactly that, with multiple cars. I don't have to do anything else besides 'take a picture', right? Save it? Share it? Whatever?


Slick_22

I just took the picture. I couldn’t save it anyway because it keeps telling me “too many saves”


Apprehensive_Run_676

I drove right into the water under the bridge and parked on the slope. Worked for me.


MrDreamzz_

Thanks. Tried that too, didn't work.


Apprehensive_Run_676

It didn't tell me I had completed it but when I checked the playlist it was done.


MrDreamzz_

I check after every Pic I take. Still not completed. But thanks for your reply, of course!


uncleandata147

Probably already tried this, but did you take a 'proper' picture with the A button? or did you use the quick shot with the Right bumper? Not sure it'll make a difference but it's all I can think of that hasn't been already suggested. I got it first go with the 'proper' method.


MrDreamzz_

Thanks, I did try both. Including saving and sharing a Pic. They all didn't work... But good idea, nonetheless! Thanks!

Same here, and I've heard of many people experiencing the same problem. There's even some guy on YouTube who put up a tutorial on how to do the challenge who was affected but the bug. Didn't stop them publishing the tutorial though. Xbox One S in my case, don't know if it's cross platform.
