No, seriously though, I really put a lot into this shot, and I'm glad that it shows, and I'm really glad that you all like it.

Thanks for the kind words mate!
Your remix is coming next!
Well thanks man. Much appreciated!It goes unsaid how amazing your pictures all are. With every update I find myself saying "Wow how did he do that?
The up and coming update will feature two of TVR&FF's shots from Forza 2. Hopefully by the end of the weekend.

Awhile back TVR&FF asked me to remix a couple of his shots. They were a blast to work on. Do enjoy.
and thanks to TVR&FF for letting me remix his wonderful shots.
EDIT: thanks for ponting that out Jamie, I was in a hurry when I was doing this, had the Food Network on. I totally knew that though.

That's a familiar presentation . Ok, I went with the first and last ones. The vignetting effect is too much agressive for me, it may fit well in the cases you used it, but I think you may consider a fading rather so much black there. You are cancelling the bigger part of the image with black.
In the 2nd, the car is not so photogenic. I guess some spot lights were a litle bit dodged, I know you like to do this. The 3rd is something similar, with next gen graphics it'd came out with a lot of definition and bling bling details, but in GT4 is all quite blurry. It's good to give a try anyway, keypoint to improvement 👍

Haha, it's nice to see you have got your presentations down. Your not copying me with that font are you? 
I have to agree with alex, vignetting is great, I use it on nearly every shot. But like I said with your ZZII entry, you don't want to make it too harsh or it takes too much away from the shot.
It's good to see you trying some interesting things with the lighting, but I find the last two too dark. My fav is the first, though the vignetting is way too extreme imo.
Sorry if it all sounded negative, good to see you trying new things. Keeping it fresh. I loved your Cuda update by the way. Keep it up. 👍

Like it was said before. It is a bit too dark and the vignetting is a bit too exaggerated IMO. Other than that, they are good pictures.

thanks for the feedback Alex. I really wanted the harsh vignetting, felt it encapsulated the car. I will try fading it instead like you said.
Think I did overdid the dodging on the second one? I caught them in game, thought I'd exaggerate them. 👍 I learn so much from you.

I learned from the best!
I had no idea you used that too, mine is comic book. take it yours is too. Great minds think alike . The last pic was intentionally that dark to enhance the flare a lot. Maybe I will re-release a couple of the shots.Thanks for the great feedback from you too TW!
👍
The vignetting was all intentional in all the shots, to the degree I wanted it to be too, but I will lay off....hehe
Let's keep the comments comin! I wanna know what you all think!

I totally agree with Alex on the first and last shot, they certainly are the better photos out of the other two. Not to say that it was terrible, but seems a little "dark" because of the vignetting. But yeah, I always enjoy looking at your update....
Hehe, I understand it now. It's something weird and amazing at the same time. In some tracks you can see spotlights being reflected over the car, like it were inside a showroom. I can remember the test course for example, it has some areas were you can see this effect. I was guessing the in game lighting is tweaked for performance, so we can't expect a phisically correct environment. People who work with 3D CGI will understand this better.
Your second Spirra seems to be in this situation. Sometimes is better to hide those sportlights, it's a keypoint to fix a lot of photos that have a problematic lighting, but I know it's very difficult to know when and where do it.
If do you take a real photo with a sunny day, you'll see the sky reflection fading all over the horizontal car surfaces, and the sun won't be exaclty a spotlight like in an artificial photo studio. We don't see these in GT4, we do in GT5 mainly.
Real R8 at the Ring
GT5 R8 and co.
GT5 garage
Rare spotlight
When the scene sun is really lower
So don't get crazy with what I'm saying about this. If do you feel it real or not will tell you what's wrong and fine. We're near to jump into the next gen photomode, leaving the old and poor GT4 system nowadays 👍

Thanks a lot alex. I understand it a lot better now. I think it makes gt4 photomode seem a little more real when I do that to my photos, but I will definitely need to learn when to cut that off and when to apply it.

Great update. The second and the last pic looks great. In the last pic, i think it looks great when its dark with higher constrast so the reflections can stand out the way they do. GReat Job

1st, 2nd and 4th shots are impressive mate. The 3rd one...sorry, I´m not feeling it, a bit blurry?? In the 1st one I like the vignetting effect, honest mate...gives a extreme look no doubt. In the 4th shot, the contrast and that shiny reflection did it for me.
Overall - Quite good mate!!!👍
