a gallery into an empty space [speed thrills - 2.19.08]

because you sharpened it this much, you've created anti-alias. Maybe you should have smoothened the area around the headlights a little. Very nice picture, captured some nice reflections there!
 
freddy - it looks like Alpha won. and thanks 👍 yours and alphas were really top notch 👍

jgda9rs - thanks 👍

Rayquaza - thanks 👍 i probably should have, but, i had no idea that using bicubal sharpen when resizing the image would have sharpened it up that much.

ill be posting the rest of my cs2 colour experiments in my TT gallery later with a link in here. one is carving the perfect line through heaven ;)
 
Altough I don't like these air shots I must say that this one looks very nice. And the title really fits to the picture. 👍 (reminds me of the song bliss by muse, don't know if you know them...)
Seems like your spending more time with tt again. :)
 
A nice angle empty space, but it is just a shame the bike is so jagged, anyway if you get a chance please drop by my gallery.
 
loon - thanks 👍

freddy - thanks 👍

Rayquaza - thanks 👍 i took the picture with mature with way too much +ev then adjust the colour out of the backround. followed by a defuse glow or whatever cs2 calls it.

TVR&FF - thanks 👍

Holy Hot stuff! Nice update. I wish I had more time to figure out gimp to get results like that. I'm sure not knowing the layering function is holding me back. :guilty:
 
thanks, guys 👍

stupid question time - how do you get cs2 to save in the same folder each time when the folder you want to save to isnt the same folder you opened the picture?

I agree, very nice angle. Color came out sweet too.

I only think you used a bit too much on the filter to clean the car (can't remember which is now), but still looks really good, and the brighter BG makes the car stand out more and seem even closer.

The one above, did you get it just by adjusting the white balance to blue and darkening it afterwards? looks amazing, considering the rules, different than everyone elses, I like it.
 
not a bad set of updates i must say. the first gt40's hood scoops look like there were seaweeds or something on them, could be a lot finer, but it looks good otherwise. the second one's much better, except for the plate looking a bit anemic and blurred. i think with close up shots those details should be much finer, a good shot otherwise. the skyline however is very nice. looks like it's flexing muscles.
 
I really like those GT shots, great entry. I think I prefer the second one though. Very cool angle.

The Skyline looks awesome, love the flare of the lights. Also another superb angle. Great work [es]. 👍

thanks 👍 the skyline turned out well, the lighting/colour is mostly straight off gt4. autolevel didnt really make a huge change, just added a little saturation and deffuse glow :)

thanks 👍 i would have liked to been able to try to clean up the first shot, but, thats not allowed within the CCCL rules so oh well. and, yeah, the blurred details caught my eyes but i figured the unsharp mask would have sharpened it up more than it did. live and learn :) im surprised ou didnt point out the crap hood line on the skyline. i tryed burning and i tryed airbrushing it but it kept turning out worse so i gave up on it.

TVR&FF - thanks 👍

oh i forgot that was not allowed in the comp rules. i like it still otherwise. on the skyline, heheheh i actually didnt even see that, i thought it was the natural shape of the hood. i wouldnt even know how to fix that even if it was my own. ah well. it looks good otherwise, i guess some things are just left alone as they are. the TT pics are awesome though. love both of them. the 2nd one is specially scary! it just screams trouble in every angle :lol: i remember getting in **** for posting a TT pic in my gallery long time ago, glad to see they're all coming out here now though. i regret giving mine to my little cousin. i just wasn't a big fan of it really. anyways, great work with the updates. they're awesome!
 
Wow, the 2nd photo is very graphically suggestive! Great idea.

thanks 👍 im sure you can pick it back up cheap. i just wish they would have done a better job texturing the bikes :indiff:

update will go here once image shack decides to co-operate!​

i just wish they would have done a better job texturing the bikes

I like what they have done for the most part. Every brake rotor on every bike has more jaggies than an Atari 2600 game. Its like the top half of the bike is ok and they just let the bottom half slide. Some engines look great and others are half arsed.
 
well, ive more than a few pictures that shows the entire bike looking like crap. take a look at the trick*star especially.

[edit -

Loving your TT shots, you have a good eye when it comes to angles. 👍
The angle on the fiirst is sweet, nice glow and great sense of action in the second.
Your TT entry is cool, nice colour and the FGT shots are very interesting, really like the look of the second. :D
 
thanks for the comments guys, but, it seems my last few updates went over like a led zeplin :(
