i've had a lot of positive feedback on the GT86 shot, but i wanted to point out that there wasn't a lot of editing necessary; got lucky i suppose:

The first one definetly is the better perspective.
Love the idea behind this! Execution could be a little bit better though.

zonda r at the ring for cccl (which allows no edits). wanted to try something different - images looked boss on my tv but they're so under-exposed on screen now it's turrible. EV adjustment doesn't work properly in GT5.

Tease of upcoming

Nürburgring Nordschleife_4 by bendertj, on Flickr

Btw, I'm a little upset about the recent tend in photo mode competitions to not allow previously exhibited photos in competitions lately. It makes me think about holding back a lot of my photos which is kinda dumb.

 

[20832]

Well, it always has been like that...

Looking forward to the next set.

 

[Horde_R35]

Nice preview.

For some reason the exhaust on this car was giving me a lot of trouble - it looks way too "CG" and reflects way more light than is necessary.

Flashback Friday (warning - poor photos ahead):

Back in February / March of 2011 I started hosting Monday Night Endurances over a period of 8 weeks to get people together for 1-2 hour online races. Unfortunately I just didn't have time in my life to keep up with the responsibilities of hosting and had to end the series, but not before saving replays from 6 or 7 of the races. Following are some of the shots I took from replays last year:

Favorite Damage Photo Evar:

Figure 8 Havoc at TGTT:

The Top Gear Test Track_23 by bendertj, on Flickr

The peak of the event was most likely this Ferrari / Lambo race in Rome. Some of the best driving you've ever seen, and some of the worst. I ended up having to spend an entire evening reviewing the replay issuing infractions to a bunch of people who were all 🤬 at each other. that's when i decided it wasn't worth my time. here are some bad driving pics:

Rome_3 by bendertj, on Flickr

Rome_11 by bendertj, on Flickr

to be fair, i made some bad moves too (me = matte red SV in rear; bumping)

Rome_2 by bendertj, on Flickr

And finally some pics from my favorite race: 135KM at Eiger Nordwand (EVO vs STI). Surprisingly this narrow course wasn't too tricky for an online race - there was plenty of room and lots of good passing. Also the extreme length of the pit lane made pit strategy factor much higher in this race than any other (most races it was almost negligible).

This dude unfortunately had a poor setup but he did the right thing any time he got off - kept out of people's way and didn't bump. it shows there's a right way to handle a poor performing car.

Still one of my all-time favorite photos:
