@ Araba, hehe the last two shots were made for the photomode/photoshop competition week 20, the theme is a car advert, check out this weeks entries
here if you liked that. there are alot of good submissions by a fair few gtp forum members.
to make the cars have a shine....i go to the car wash.
actually it's got more to do with stuffing around with the levels option in photoshop. I creat duplucate layers of my pictures so i can concentrate lighting on certain areas or blur sections, like the background. as you'll notice the celica has really shiny rims, although they are actually just the normal racing rims on it. I create that affect by adding layers with different colours to get a shine on them. Also helps to choose a track that has good/interesting lighting.
I hate taking photos on the nurb as the lighting is very soft, as with alot of tracks. my favorite track by far is motegi. the sunset gives really good colours to play with.
I hope that helps alittle.
@ Jase86, thank you, i'm glad you like my pics..
@ Spyker, thanks dude. I've taking all them shots at Motegi.... i love the colours of the track... thats why they look pretty similar in style to the galant.
thanks for the feedback.
