Stunning franz, love it! Doesn't hurt that it's a Cobra either.

I love this new gallery name! 
Franz, could I ask you where you and SlipZ get your Photoshop fonts from? I've always struggled with that in the past.
How is the new photomode by the way? Is that straight from GT5 with color and level adjustments done? Have they improved and/ or implemented a camera mount on car effect?
Would be sweet if we could snap some nice curve blurs in this game. Loving that Cobra!

Photomode is beyond awesome as long as you play with premium cars. The free range camera is like the best thing you can get. I was worried about the camera not mount on the car when I saw some poor panning shots by others. Once I checked out the camera menu, there were 3 options of panning. The 2nd and 3rd moves along with the car when you focused, so GT5 curve blur is guaranteed but you need a car can corner fast, because 1/60s shutter speed isn't slow enough (check out this page for details http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/products/gt5/photo/)
One thing you won't be happy is no colour adjustment whatsoever (no manual WB and no saturation). You may play with those fancy filter, but no way you can make half saturated photo without photoshop. There is an AE lock available, but not really sure how I can take advantage of it, maybe useful to stitch multiple images for panorama?
Tilt shift filter is totally a gimmick. It just blurs the top and bottom quarter of the photo, and it is not based on focal distance. However f/1.0 is handful to most situations. Vignetting option is gone in photo travel, but it automatically builds up when the shutter opens wide (f/1.0-2.0).
Camera angle now can be fully adjustable. You can shoot the sky/ground straight (hint: mini-planet 👍 ). In photomode (not walk mode), there is no control to move forward/backward, but you can go sideway. You would need to rotate 90 degrees and move sideway in order to move forward/backward
... beware of seizure!
Walk mode is simply let you to move the camera position, while photomode let you adjust everything you need for a photo. Good thing is both mode allow positioning the car (photo travel).
Saving photo is quite fast, but it is pain in the butt to export them to XMB, because there is no batch function.

Amazing start, franz. The cobra is easily, one of my favorite cars, and you made it shine. Can't wait to see out more from you.

Awesome Franz; the Furai is one of my absolute favourites, and the one I won came in GT black, which looks downright evil. Night shots just add to that, and I like that each image has a different tone. SSR7 seems to be a photographer's dream course, too. Perfectly clean images, these are... and I like the little light blur in the third one. Well done 👍

Thanks Slipztrem and Shigegaki 👍 I wish the Furai is premium. Unfortunately I haven't won the Furai yet. It was imported from GTPSP, where I owned all the colours. These photos were taken from Arcade mode. The light blur is experimental with smudge tool
I am having some difficulties getting colour gradient smooth in all night shots. They are like in 256 colour mode. I have to use all kinds of blur to get rid of them, sometimes the blur does no difference. Or maybe it is something wrong with my monitor.

Franz has finally arrived! No more auto.art title? auto.illustration is nice though too. The shots are looking pretty sweet so far. Gota love the tunnel at Tokyo. I think we will see many epic shots in there in the future. I'll look forward to more soon!

I never thought I'd agree with changing a Jag out of BRG, but this is just awesome. I think you made the right choice with the 2.0 entry; it's utterly freaking gorgeous, Franz.
Funnily enough, my next update follows a very similar approach... but not this beautiful!

Wow. This gallery alone almost makes waiting so long for GT5 seem completely worthwhile. Tasteful, elegant and stunning!

100% Inspirational. Pure class. The lighting and tones along with the angles. You just have such a great sophistication to your shots that no one can match.

Franz, great stuff man!
Quick question: Can we end up wth photos as yours just with GT5 photo mode or do they need to be post processed in PS before achieving such results?

They aren't straight from photomode. I did spent 15-30mins each to make the picture standout, but they are very much within 2.0 comp rules since the originals were pretty gorgeous already. I don't have to go crazy to fix this and fix that like GT4 era.
Thanks everyone for the compliments. When I took the pictures of the XJ13, my only expression was like O-M-G!
