Here is the latest edition, but edition 5 was, done by PM, due to atlop having a busy life.

Q: You seem to have a great eye for composition and tones, but what we see here are just the final results of GT4 photo manipulation. What's your experience with photography and/or photoshop? - Beerzgood

atlop: "Not one bit at all. However, because of that, it makes it a big plus for me in this. Never touched a photo editing program before this so, I have learned quite a few things. Maybe I have learned something about photography too, not sure about that."

Q: Who is your favourite GTP member? Alternatively, whose gallery is the one you like the most? - NTX1982

atlop: "jmx2222. But the reason I say this is he is a great person, however from the looks of things it is like he has left us though."

Q: What is your standard procedure with aperture settings? However, the reason I say this is you have many shots with great aperture. - Rayqyaza

atlop: "Well, at least the whole car should be sharp. I used to like blurry shots but nowadays I like all the way sharp (at least if there is not something ugly in the background)."

Q: What exposure settings do you usually use for your stock photos and why? - jgda9rs

atlop: "Usually I leave that alone. However, in the Un-Edited Competition full exposure is usually the best though."

Q: Do you usually use the white balance feature in GT4 Photomode? If you use it, how does it affect the image for you? - alexwrc

atlop: "Used to go reddish but usually I do not touch that anymore. However, I must say you need to have a good reason for using it, but if you use it, you are distorting the colours obviously."

Q: Do you have any real life photography experience? However, what kind of subject matters to you the most? - franz

atlop: "I do not think I have any special taste for some kind of photos, but anything that looks good is fine by me."

Q: What usually gives you inspiration for shots, is it magazines or does it come from purely the mind or perhaps something else? - speedster

atlop: "I think my best shots are the ones I did not plan, I just browse around the angles to find something that looks good."

Q: What are some of your interests besides GT4 Photography and GTP? - Tangled Web

atlop: "Family, full time job, studies. Don't have time for much else just now."


Bonus Questions

Mac or PC?

atlop: PC

"However, I am having second thoughts though"

What Photo Editing program do you use mainly?

atlop: "I use Paint.net for PMC, with Gimp used for 2.0. Also sometimes, I use Picasa."

What is your Favourite type of engine?

atlop: "These questions are getting harder."

Who are your Favourite 10 Photomode people?

atlop: "After jmx222, everyone else"

Favourite five all time Car models?

atlop:

Porsche Boxster
Camaro '68
Volvo Amazon
90's Supra
Mazda RX-8

When GT5 comes out, what will you be mainly working on for the first year of GT5, either GT4 or GT5 for Photomode?

atlop: "I will be working to get money together so I can buy a PlayStation 3."

Which of these two people would you like to do a Photomode gallery – Ken Kutaragi or Kazunori Yamauchi?

atlop: "Don't know"

If you could improve GT4 Photomode, what would you do in the game, and how do you hope GT5 will take the Photomode to the next stage?

atlop: "I hope there will be a Photomode? Obviously, the speed blur should be heaps better. Also the 3D objects around the track should be much more realistic, but that's nor really a Photomode thing."

atlop if you had some wise words to say to people how they can improve there shots, what would they be in five words?

atlop: "Take a lot of shots."
 
I'd like to see an interview with atlop, krame, sejtur, freddy... you get the idea. :)
 
Beerzgood or Krame if he'll be around for a while and not disappear again.
by the way, the last interview with alex was awesome. great work on that one you guys.
 
Ok week 5 will be done with atlop, anyway it is time to open the question spots:

Amount of Question slots - 8
Deadline for questions - 3rd July
 
My question for atlop is:

You seem to have a great eye for composition and tones, but what we see here are just the final results of GT4 photo manipulation. What's your experience with photography and/or photoshop?



Oh, and - atlop, do an update on your gallery, everyone here loves your work. :D

J - Thanks for mentioning my name for an interview, I'm flattered. 👍
 
atlop, whats is your favourite GTP member? Or which is the gallery that U like most?
 
Question:

What is your standard procedure with aperture settings? You have a lot of shots with great aperture.
 
I think atlop doesn't say much about himself based on his GTP activities
he is such a mystery man who loves to take photos in GT4
he always like clean and simple composition
my question is: do you have any real life photography experience? what kind of subject matters do you like most?
 
Q: What usually gives you inspiration for shots, is it magazines or does it come from purely the mind or perhaps something else?
 
What are some of your interests besides GT4 Photography and GTP?
Are there any other games you like to play or is it just GT4?
:)
 
I am looking to do the interview for this in August, so expect to see the interview up sometime in August or early September.
 
The interview will have to happen in September now, due to reasons from atlop and me.
