[Swiss Legend]

Congrats!! 1 year making quality work:tup: Hope you can be here next year!!

The EVO´s are right on the spot...quite real. So...what are you doing with them?

I do indeed plan on stickin around. To be honest...I have no idea what to do with the evo bros shot. The main thing for the preview was just to get the scale right.

One year of amazing pictures. Guess you were and are in the right way. You always had and have a fresh and youth style. Your shots are full of colour, full of passion and are amazing, with great composition. Congrats 👍

The BMW and the Opera are good ones, the composition is great IMO, and EVOs is so good right now, that I can’t imagine what you will come with. I am really anxious to see it.

I thank you for the very kind words. They are appreciated. I don't know what to do with the evo shot. I just kind of lost focus on it. Any thoughts? I might try to do the same shot in a few different styles. Who knows.

Swiss...I just browse to your 1st page of your gallery and I must say...lovely banners. Very professional looking. I like it a lot, honest.

NTX:tup:

Thanks! 👍
I did indeed put a lot of time in that. I havent udpated it for the last couple sets. I was wondering of people ever really looked at that index. I really wish that would be the first route to the pictures...instead of "view first unread post".

Nice to see you still putting great work out, Swiss.
I've been following your work closely and you surely you came a long way, though you 'skipped' a few steps from the start because your first shots here (that I remember) were already pretty damn good.
Can't remember seeing 'noob' shots from you, your standards were high from day one. 👍

I really like the E46 on post #376, great composition and mood. Only thing I'd do extra on that shot would be sharpening the headlights a bit more (namely the corners) and some dodging on the chrome grille and the rim, to make it stand out a bit more and provide definition.
Otherwise, awesome.

The Evo's shot on post #384 is also pretty good, scale looks fine to me.
One thing I like on that shot is its simplicity, and the fact that that tone of red always looks beautiful on that location, because of the contrasting blue reflections.

Keep going, mate! 👍

 

[jgda9rs]

VERY GOOD INDEED!!! like beerz said, you've come a long way!!!!!!!!!!!!

the previous update also look pretty sweet! mind telling me the camera specs for the b/w bmw shot? you should re-edit the shot and put rain effects, though perspective might take a while. the lancers are looking good as well!

Thanks for stopping by Beerz. It's funny a couple days before I actually joined, I remember that I looked at a lot of shots that people had posted. I think that helped me get on the right foot.

I guess I have come a long way! Thanks for stopping by, good to see you back. That's a good idea about the BMW shot, rain will be added.
The bmw shot was first taken from veryveryvery far away, zoomed into 300mm. 1/250, other than that I cant really remember.

 

[alexwrc]

Ops, I think I missed the sexy M3

 

[Swiss Legend]

You know alex...now that I think about it. I think you requested that that shot be edited. It was an entry in the unedit comp a couple weeks back. I don't know why I remember that.
edit: tomorrow, I will have my Christmas update!

 

[Swiss Legend]

Here's part 1 of my Christmas gift to GTP and the awesome photomode junkies!

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!!

[phase3]

Really nice shot 👍 Great colour and the reflection looks cool 👍

 

[David48]

Holy ****aki mushrooms!!!! The first shot looks amazing Swiss! The reflection on the water is perfect!!!! Amazing! My only problem with it is the rear bumper looks messed up, but that's heavily out weighed by the water. Great job. :tup: And Merry Christmas!

 

[Swiss Legend]

Thanks for the cooments pahse3 and David! I'm glad you liked it!

 

[Pebb]

I like the first shot.

 

[alexwrc]

Those Evos are great. The chop is also quite realistic, I was skeptical

 

[NTX]

This update is quite something! You already knew I really liked the EVO´s brother shot, but you really amazed everyone with the EVO "water" shot, just WOW!!!! Fancy, fancy, fancy Swiss!!!!

Great gift!!!

 

[Swiss Legend]

Thanks for the kind words TVR, alex, and NTX!

 

[franz]

Nice water shot! Qute fancy as NTX stated
I don't know if it's global warming or the photographer has serious drooling issue with the Evo

 

[Bram Turismo]

Yes, it's a pretty weird choice of putting the water at an icy location But I still like it though, I want to give that effect a try myself once 👍

One thing though, you still seem to have sports tires equipped. Why not buy some R1 tires? They're cheap, and they make your rims pop out more 👍

yup...global warming Bram! Sports tires for more traction in the wet! I think I had just taken that car out in a tire specific race. who knows. Normally I would have racing tires on everything, especially for a photoshoot.


I really wish I could've gotten around to part 2 of my update. It might be a New Years Update. But I could miss that too....

 

[Watchman]

I looked through the whole galery now and.. Swiss Legend, there's only one thing to say: WONDERFUL! I like all of your pictures, especially the Evo's 👍

Go on this way, buddy .. I can't await the next update!

Best wishes,

S-Line Audi Fan

 

[Swiss Legend]

Thank you S-Line Audi Fan. The comment is much appreciated.


I just wanted to share the shots from the 2.0 tournament and have them all in one spot.

Just a small update otherwise with some shots that I rather like. Not a lot of editing.

[David48]

Theres some nice shots in there. I like the blur and shadows on the 3rd skyline shot.👍 Nice noise on them all.

 

[Pebb]

Here is my favourites:

Third Shot
Last Shot

 

[NTX]

The GTR in the bridge is great looking, very nice contrast there. Not to mention the Cuda and DB9 shots, those are really great!!!

Happy new year Swiss...with GTP of course

 

[Watchman]

You're welcome, Swiss Legend

The Skyline crossing the bridge is my personal favourite 👍 I like the contrast But as always: Every picture is something special for itself and because of that all of them are good

Have a nice day buddy and best wishes,

S-Line Audi Fan

 

[alexwrc]

The Z-Tune (?) rocks. That's how a GTR has to be.

 

[ramchargerQC]

your pics are awsome, the cars look real!!

 

[jgda9rs]

True that every picture has it's own something special, could be awesome, could be rubbish, but it has its own soul.
Thanks for stopping by mate.

tis the Z-Tune. That's what I thought about it too.

your pics are awsome, the cars look real!!

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the comment, although I think they could look a little more real.

those are amazing !!

yup, I try Adrian! I have been working quite hard on some things..Thanks for you comment!


Stay tuned for the tournament reject shots coming in about a week! I will update with just a couple shots also during the week...

Can't await the new shots .. But anyway I'll always look up here for new ones

Think I better do my rounds, and see what everyone else is doing!

First up, the red Nismo GTR. I like this picture a lot. At first I wasn't so sure about the darkness of the image, but on closer inspection, I think that it suits it perfectly. The vignetting is particularly good. The colour is bright, and the lightly clouded sky is excellent. 👍

The DB9 is sure gunning it down the strip! This is another of my favourites from this update. The car is sharp and jaggie free, and contrast very nicely with the blur you have created. I like the lines in the blur, as they are very striking, but If I had to make a slight observation, I would say that they don't quite match the throughout the picture. None the less, this is a superb blur, and one to be proud of! 👍

Last up, the second Skyline in the snow. I like this picture too, it is very detailed, the car is jaggie free, and sporting some nice reflections down the side you can see. I also like how you have included the Gran Turismo banner in the bottom right corner - nice touch! 👍

Great stuff, keep 'em coming! 👍

Indeed. I will have new shots soon. I'm glad I have a "fan" 👍

Thank you for the comment mag. I rather like the skyline snow shot you mentioned. I just happened to catch the banner and thought quietly to myself "sweet".

Stay tuned guys, tomorrow the tourney rejects will be shown!
