I couldn't think of anything, you're right though it was a stupid idea.
Awesome shots though!

Hi Diego,
Nice update! My favourite is the last big WRC car pic. It's bright, colourful and the car is sliding at a great angle. The only thing which would make this photo look better in my eyes is perhaps a touch of countersteer. Overall, a great update. 👍👍

 

[Fyffe]

the first one really cool man, love that one:tup:that one and the last one is my favorite

edit: oh and your last nissan update is just awesome, some really great shots, keep it man:tup:

 

[Diego440]

gooseter and lmracer: Thanks a lot. The game would be Crazy Taxi vs. Gran Turismo? I know, I'm hungover.

Appie -----> thnx man

throttlehappy, I'll be sure to keep on drinking expired beer whenever I'm playing with Photoshop 👍

Revolution. The pic is a bit saturated for my taste, but I like it a lot. I'm using this lighting program called Mystical. Overall it's pretty nice, lots of possibilities with it but then again, not allowed in Photoshop comps. I think I was countersteering, but maybe too much, hence the rim doesn't show. Thanks for the input, though.

Fyffe, thanks! I'd usually go for a bunch of pics and then try to fix them on Photoshop, but I finally learned that you can't polish a turd... so I'm getting better at picking great shots.

So,... finally sobered up and although I know Suzukis are mostly pretty crappy, some of them take nice pics... as long as you focus on the background and not on the car Here's a bit of an attempt of making the pics look nice. I like the first one and have mixed feelings about the other two.

[De@tthwi§ho0]

That first one mate:tup: Awesome,, don't like Suzuki's either but the way you've let the bakcground jump forward at the first pic is awesome
And that Beer inspired Subaru pics are good too,, but I think it's better when your sober

 

[Fyffe]

Great Suzuki update, I like the first shot alot it looks really good:tup: but I love last shot it's something about that shot.. it's a great pic 👍

 

[Appie]

looking good👍

bring us more

 

[Pebb]

I love the last shot in post 148.

 

[X5.]

Wow, those are all really nice shots!

 

[lmracer]

i cant believe the suzuki looks cool in the second shot. how did you do that?

 

[Diego440]

And that Beer inspired Subaru pics are good too,, but I think it's better when your sober

I think so too... next update is sobered up... I'll post it sometime today.

Great Suzuki update, I like the first shot alot it looks really good but I love last shot it's something about that shot.. it's a great pic

Yeah, the good thing about Suzukis is that they're small, so you can touch up the background a lot. The last pic only has a lightning effect, the Suzuki logo, and some blurring here and there.

On the way

I love the last shot in post 148.

That one looks much better seen from far away. The criss-crossing lighting effect is more appreciable. Thanks anyway

Wow, those are all really nice shots!

Thanks X5 👍

i cant believe the suzuki looks cool in the second shot. how did you do that?

It's kind of hard to make a Wagon R RR look nice. I just played around with some blurs and some lighting. It luckily came out fine, because I didn't dedice much effort into it.

So, next update is Toyota. Coming up later on or tomorrow

 

[Vonie]

Pretty nice, Diego.
Funny, I like the second two better than the first.

 

[Niels]

The suzuki update isn't really good IMO. It's the background in the last 2 pictures that make them allright But the first one is just full of radial blur.
That radial blur zoom should guide your eyes to the car, but it shouldn't make up the whole picture, if you know what I mean.

I REallly like your subaru update on the other hand, for example:tup:

 

[Diego440]

thanks Niels.

So, lo and behold, the Toyota update is here.

Had some fun with Revolution's tutorial.

​

Tell me what you think.

 

[Vonie]

Nice, Diego, the last is amazing.
I also really like the first.
The 2002 one is also interesting and well done.

 

[Diego440]

I finally got around to making a bit of an update. Just some battle shots here.

​

 

[X5.]

Absolutely Stunning.

Really like these pictures, if i had to choose i would go for the third thumbnail and the two biggie's!

Real nice update. 👍

 

[Diego440]

So I finally got off my ass and posted some new pics

More battle shots, actually.

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

i love the composition of the 4th shot! very very suave! 👍

 

[NTX]

A great return mate!! Good quality...and a Orange Mustang?! Update more soon!!

 

[dmanbluesfreak]

Awesome shots... I agree with FA - the 4th picture is outstanding.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

Very cool shots man, very nice indeed. Im looking forward to an update!

 

[.*StReeTz*.]

Wow, so unique. I love the Jump shot with the rally truck. Also, the crash shot is great! Awesome work!

 

[Pebb]

I love the soft look in the last shot Diego.

 

[Diego440]

thanks for the comments.

Funny you should mention the 4th shot; it's actually one I did out of boredom... then again, most of them are. But what I mean is that I didn't think it was that great.

If the summer keeps on going as it has, a new update should be shortly. I'm also taking a photoshop course but truth be told, photomode is not in the syllabus, so I'm having to improvise a lot.
