I will keep that in mind man :lol:
Another update up for show. I told you I'd have a few more 320i shots, but will stick with showing just one. Tried not to do too much to it editing wise, but I did do some cleaning. As for the Cougar, I was trying to go for a "late afternoon" type of lighting. Don't tell me its too dark either. :P I hope you enjoy the shaded Cougar.

The 320i shot is well done, but I like the Cougar more, because of its colour matching perfectly to the orange buildings in the background, it gives such a nice contrast.. Also, I like the shadows and the few sun reflections on the car which come through the trees above the car.. All gives a breath-taking atmosphere, which is very good 👍 The car itself looks very clean and very very realistic.. The rims fit to it perfectly and I like the grass hanging down from the balcony of the building :).. Really really well done, my friend ;)
 
The lighting of the Cougar with its reflection just turns this boring looking muscle into something vintage yet very sexy. The wheel looks like illuminated by remote flash. The cleanup level isn't very high level, but the overall picture does look very professional 👍

320i's update has to be some nice captures. The tournament entry is the best, others are nice too with good focal blur but interesting element is lacking somehow.
 
Wow, thanks S-Line! I am glad because all I really tried to do was get the lighting to be very dramatic.

@ franz- I actually didn't plan on doing anything to it really. It was supposed to be my journey through PMC style continued, but I couldn't help but to do more to the cougar. I thank you for the comment. Looking back at the 320I, there isn't much else goin on in the pics, except for the car. But that was the premise I worked with.

Don´t need to say a word here Swiss, just watching and enjoying the update:)

Very good once more, very good indeed!!!
 
I like the cougar one because the the lighting looks really how you wanted it,late afternoon and the road looks really realistic too:)
 

That's a stunning shot :drool: The car looks like it would actually look if being viewed by the human eye , the lighting all around the scene and on the car itself are completely flawless IMO! The location really suits the car too. Looking forward to more updates like this one! 👍

Great Update. I like the freshness and the clean of both car and PMC-style pictures 👍
:), btw how are the shots coming?

wow, thanks moglet! I think this is the best shot lightingwise that I have done in a long time. But for you to say flawless...I'm speechless :sly:

I have to agree with Mog, stunning shot with the Cougar.
awesome...thanks man!
Those are too amazing shots... so realistic!!!
I'm really glad the realism factor is there. Thanks balang!
 
the cougar looks really good. could be smoother in terms of bodywork, but you did a great job with the contrast and the exposure, specially with the shadows. good touch with the noise levels too. well done.
 
Thanks for the comment. I actually touched the cars very little with any tools. Just a concentration on the lighting etc.

Some shots from the earlier shoots I had. Only adjustments done were lighting / noise.







 
Nice shots. I find working with JGTC cars really good because they are drawn so well in the game already. I rarely have to clean up much and most of the changes fit within PMC rules. The last shot is my favourite because it's rich in colour and the angle and blur complement each other great. It's nice to see you going in the same direction and I look forward to seeing more. 👍

Agreed, the vast majority are fantastic. Especially the Calsonic Skyline. Thanks for the comments. I am gonna do a mix of PMC and 2.0 updates. Sometimes a few PMC shots and 2.0 shots in the same update. Gotta mix it up!

That's right, the last shot is the best, in my opinion.. Also, it's very clean and I like love how there are so many colours 👍
Thank you, yup a little saturation does a picture good :lol:

Part II is coming tomorrow. Anymore thoughts/comments/criticisms on this update?
 
Vrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

Action packed update, loving the last two shots. That battle seems really intense!! On the secong shot, extreme camera there!!! Good work with the lightning btw!!

Vrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

I like this update, and the last two have to be my favourites, because of the great ligh on them. 👍
I love the last two shots too. I did win that race, by .041 secs. :crazy:

Here's Part II of the JGTC race...









 
All shots are good overall.. They were taken at a very interesting angle (especially the last one!) and that's what makes all of them something special, for me at least.. And also, all shots are in a superb quality 👍 Keep up the good work, Swiss Legend :cheers:
 
ohh that last set is wicked!!!! the first batch is good too, but i find the last set has better composition. i want that au cerumo supra! even when i had the ps2 i never got that car.
now that i look at it again, it actually looks sweet. i'm gonna start winning more races to hopefully get that car. great stuff bud!! keep them coming!
 
I like the second to last shot of the three car's turning in at once.
I thought that one was pretty cool too, I wondered why all the ai turned at the same time, even though they weren't at the same point in the course.

Thanks very much S-Line, I try to keep things interesting by providing different compositions.

:D thanks Adrian. I also thought this batch was better. I put out this set second because of the better composition. You know what I want? The Esso Supra! And the old mini. Neither of which are in the NTSC version :indiff:
 
brilliant work swiss. you picked my fav types of cars and made them look awesome! nice Job
Thanks speedeon! I'm glad I could "hook you up". :D

First of all, I love the car you've chosen.. Secondly, I like the rims you've chosen.. The car's colour is great, especially at that track, giving a great, cold atmosphere.. The lighting is phenomenal and the overall picture is fantasic.. Brightness is great, as is the contrast 👍 Well done!
 
Again, action packed update, and some interesting cameras too. You dominate race cars don´t you?? :)

Now bring the Audi, lets see what you have for us 👍
 
Thanks S-Line and Nuno! The wait (for some:)) is over! Here it is. I have never spent so much time cleaning a car before. I hope it shows.
Also threw in a couple PMC shots, just cuz.
