Bram Turismo's Gallery - Tournament Round 1 before/after -

Excellent work! Those wheels look huge on that car. Must be a rough ride with those elastic bands for tires

 

[Bram Turismo]

The same amount I hate them

PS. A good original 19" RUF five spokes for it!

Ok, I'll leave these wheels aside for the next update 👍 Thanks Alex 👍

nice RUF shots. i like the rims

Thanks 👍

WOW awsome reflections Bram! love this update long time.

Thanks Gino, thanks alot 👍

wow, very very nice job on this one! The first one is really nice, but i love the last one a lot, the reflections are nice, just a good job in general!

Thanks D_P, I didn't expect the last one to be the best, it'll just be a personal preferre i guess 👍

Thanks Cod 👍 What I actually did was enlarge the rims by about an inch or two

Ford GT @ New York

Nothing too fancy this time, just my usual style of "design". Anyway, the picture itself, I'm skeptical untill I've heard your opinions. I just cannot get the colors right and I cannot get it as sharp as Charger or Slipz or the other big guys around here so again, I've used once more, a gradient map...

Lovely style. The contrast even emphasize the effect of high definition. Over the roof, the lines seems a little pixelated, such as left air engine vent. I'wont do to this kind of exagerated editing in mine stuff, but I have to say I love the technique you use, and results you give to our eyes 👍

[Cod_Father]

Very nice. Reminds me of a Warhol.

 

[NTX]

Lovely work Ultra!!! Great detail, great blur and great use of colors!! For me is one of your best works. Congrats

 

[Pebb]

The GT shot has way too much exposure for my liking, but nice angle.

 

[Tangled Web]

I like it, I think this style really suits you and it works. I like the contrast between the GT and the background. Another Bram work of art.

Thanks Alex, I actually tried this one in two phases of cleanup, lens blur and smudging and I must admit that the lens blur worked far more better then the smudge tool. Because after you're done with cleaning and you start with the colors, the effect on the areas with a lens blur used gives a very nice and clean effect (RUF updates) whereas I used the smudge tool, noise again started to develop so I had to smudge the rear twice. I'd expect this from you however, I knew the cleanup wasn't perfect but thanks alot for the feedback 👍

Very nice. Reminds me of a Warhol.

Thanks Cod 👍

It is? For me it's the best result I've had on the gradient map but my favorit update is definitly the RUF 👍 Thanks 👍

The GT shot has way too much exposure for my liking, but nice angle.

Actually, I did not used any exposure The white balance in the gradient map was rather high though, point taken and thanks for the feedback 👍

Thanks man 👍

 

[jgda9rs]

it's a style of its own. artsy.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Thanks 👍

Grand Canyon wallpaper
I've decided to focus on wallpapers for this week, blurring and cleaning everytime is getting seriously like a routine which is getting boring now so I'm going for something more fun this time. With wallpapers, I will focus more on scenery then on the cars, wallpapers will feature a car though but not everyone of them. Anyway, I hope you like the first one 👍 , it's currently in 1024X768 size but don't be afraid to ask for bigger and/or smaller sizes Only color tools were used on this one and a gaussian on the sky, no fancy crap this time

Great scene!. Did you make the truck at Canyon for comp? I love the colors mate.

[Bram Turismo]

No I didn't, however, this shot was inspired on that F-150 shot.

Thanks though 👍

 

[Cod_Father]

Very nice shot. This may sound a little strange, but I love the lighting on the left side of the shot down in the canyon and on the trees in the background. Very realistic.

 

[jgda9rs]

i agree with cod_father and alex. the whole scenery just looks so awesome and real. you should do a two car shot just like this one.

 

[Tangled Web]

Great shot Bram, the canyon is a great photo location. I agree with the others, the colours and lighting look spot on. Very realistic shot. Great work. 👍

Check out mt two new Skyline colour tests. I made one with the colour's you mentioned, would be nice to know if I got the result you were thinking of.

 

[Funkshen]

GT40, came out nice, i dont mind the over-exagerated red tone.

Grand Canyon, In my opinion the use of too much contrast has brought away much of the potential detail, but nice none the less.

Yes, I do know what you mean Cod and thanks alot for that 👍 I was surprised by the quality of the shot myself

i agree with cod_father and alex. the whole scenery just looks so awesome and real. you should do a two car shot just like this one.

Point taken and will be carried out Might as well try a group shot

Great shot Bram, the canyon is a great photo location. I agree with the others, the colours and lighting look spot on. Very realistic shot. Great work. 👍

Thanks Drift, I've commented on your new color as well 👍

Thanks Funkshen, the blurry Canyon was exacty what I was aiming for. I played around with the colors in such a way that the red Canyon would stood out alot, the fact that it's more blurred then the on-focused car and area looks very realistic on how you'd have a shot in such circumstances in reality I think 👍

 

[NTX]

Lovely work!! Amazing colors and quality, a true postcard shot view IMO, great to send to our friends
Congrats mate!!

 

[GT4_Rule]

Nice wallpaper, man!

 

[Sakiale]

Oh my god. I just noticed this gallery, and its awsome!

I especially like the Ford GT

 

[LGforce]

Nice wallpaper! you should check mines out, yeah i did got tired of doing clean ups

 

[Bram Turismo]

Thanks guys 👍

Coffee-Break: Subaru Impreza @ Motegi
Something to post in between while I'm still working on the big collection 👍 THis is one of my favorites in the collection, don't mind the rims, when fitting them back in, they got ruined but that's because they weren't a perfect circle when blurring so just don't look at the rims Apart from that, I get this 440 Charger feeling to this picture, it isn't very sharp but I like how the gradient map turned outm I finally found the settings which suited Motegi very well and the clean up came out nice as well. Let me know what you think and I may be able to improve it 👍

Salu2.alexwrc

Could you make a selection on the areas which you're talking about? I don't understand which areas you mean...

 

[NTX]

WOW mate, U have done it again, incredible work!! And why can´t we look at the rims?! For me they are very cool and very agressive with all that blur. Well done mate, U are doing one "Hell" of a gallery!!!
