Really love all of the sets !!
Can't pick a favorite
Love your editing style
Guess after watching these i'm Gonna steal my friends Xbox to shoot some pics

 

[RetroGiant]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

Here is a quick 3 shot update, nothing too special. Unfortunately haven't had much time to dedicate to Forza.

That second shot does it for me. I love your editing, especially on the oldschool cars, makes it look like it actually came from that era. I also have that exact same paint on my z, except i have the front chin spoiler on it, it also paints the headlights in when you put the front spoiler on. Mine also has the red circle datsun emblem on the car in some areas

 

[DRIFT GOD]

great pics !!!

 

[NTX]

once more, great looking shots, being the 2nd one my favourite one. The camera is nicely set to the car, and the bright look gives a great mood 👍

And don´t you even think to quit on Forza

 

[RetroGiant]

I'm ALIVE!!!!!!!
Been playing a lot of Forza lately. At level 40 something. Finally took some photos as well. Thanks again for the last batch of comments and I hope you guys enjoy these. Real mixed bag on these.

Here is a little work in progress type photo(s)

I like how you showed the stages that it took to get to the final product. The lens flare(or whatever that is) looks amazing and adds so much to the photo. The final version of the vertical shot lambo is my favorite.

Cant wait to see more! Hopefully you stay a little more active, it seems the Photomode forum hasnt been to active lately.

 

[RetroGiant]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I do plan on posting much more often.

One shot update, wanted to go retro/realistic with it.

 

[ImaRobot]

I would say it looks dulled down, but i think thats the idea you were going for?
It looks realistic but i think the thing thats bothering me is the angle, it just seems odd.

Yea, I went for the desaturated dull, 80s feel to it. I originally only had two shots of the car, and there was a reason I didn't put them with the original update lol. I just figured I'd throw it on here just cause.

 

[StoneyNUFC]

The three stage shot if a nice idea and executed very well. As usual great angles, composition etc throughout. My favourite shot would have to be the black n white McLaren shot. Really like the editing you've done to that shot 👍

 

[RetroGiant]

Thanks Stoney! Here is a one shot preview of my upcoming update. Should will be able to throw a few on here today. Most likely a two part update.

That Diablo looks really trim in the photo - you've made the turquoise work quite nicely. It's very crisp, and the palm tree provides nice relief for the background. 👍

 

[RetroGiant]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Here is pt. 1 of the update. The other half I'll post tomorrow. The way I edited these made the color come out more turquoise than it really was. It was honestly closer to a sky blue, but the overall feel I wanted to give these adjusted that color a bit. Also tried something crazy on the wheels. Never have really been a fan of painted wheels but I bought these and painted them and said what the heck. Surprisingly, I like them and think they fit fairly well with the car. Many static "posed" shots as it seemed this car was just meant to be shown off.

I am digging the Ford GT pic A LOT! A couple of the Diablo pics are good but I am not into the extreme wide angle shots. The perspective kinda ruins it for me but that's just personal taste. I get the idea for overexposing the images while adding the lens flare but again, that's just a tool I don't find exciting either. But dang, I just can't get over the Ford GT pic. It is a high key shot so the brighter exposure lends extremely well to the white car. This isn't a lot of black to throw it off which is nice. And it's just bright enough where the whites don't get too white. Perfect exposure/ editing.

Nice Lambo shots, the color on that Z is as good as it gets.

 

[imported_flo]

those shots, 👍👍👍👍👍👍

 

[DomasRC]

Cool colors in these pics 👍

 

[RetroGiant]

Thank you guys very much for the comments and thanks Bry for the detailed input, really appreciate it! Here is the last of the Diablo shots. Hope you enjoy.

 

[FosterG]

MORE LAMBO GOODNESS! Nice set.

 

[imported_flo]

more lambo! 👍
again. i really really like them.

 

[StoneyNUFC]

Really nice close ups, The blue on these wheels works really well. If i was to be critical i would say that even though i know you were focusing on the bull i feel alittle bit more focus on the word diablo aswell would improve if you know what i mean lol.

Love the second to last shot. Great composition and tone. Another very good set mate 👍

 

[Pebb]

My favourite has to be the last shot.

 

[DomasRC]

Second to last pic 👍👍
Looks very realistic aswell! Plus I really like the choice of colors.

 

[RetroGiant]

Guess its time for my monthly update lol. Wanted to go with a car you don't see all the time. Bumped it up to a "C" class and gave it a custom "Gun Metal" paint job. Its kind of a jack of all trades but a master of none. Enjoy.

 

[ImaRobot]

This does it for me. Do you use all bigshots? Reason im asking is because your photos seem so detailed.

For instance, this photo, although i would like it to have more aperture the background still looks really nice.

 

[RetroGiant]

Thanks man! Actually I have yet to take a single big shot in this game. On a handful of these I applied a sharpen filter to them, then resized them so they became a bit more crisp in their small size. I usually had the focus on 100 the whole time and then only had the aperture at like 30 or lower, despite the first shot. The focusing seems weird at times when using a higher number aperture and shutter speed, things get blurred for some reason more than they should. So its a tweaking process for me.

 

[NTX]

That car is really cool if you ask me buddy!! You have great captures indeed, with several good angles. Nice one with the 1st one specially!!
And another great thing on this update, is the colouring! I think is a "thing" that for me identifies your work.

Well done RG buddy

 

[RetroGiant]

Thanks NTX, really appreciate the kind words friend!
