Diego440's Quasi-cool Gallery -- 24 November 2006 Update -- Battle Shots!

[Diego440]

Right, so the heatwave just popped in. It's 32º at 2am, so you can figure how hot the rest of the day was. Anyhow, I played around with photoshop risking short-circuiting my PC because of the excessive sweat, but still, here's the result:

Since these pics aren't meant for any photoshop competition, I've gone a bit overboard in the editing department.



The tarmac in this shot is taken from a real-life photograph





And this one started out as a good idea, and quickly turned into this. I'm not very happy with the result, but I'll hopefuly get better... eventually.



The tyres are clones of each other; I don't think they came out that bad, except fpr the ones in the Superbird. And the tarmac is the same one as in the other larger pic.

In last one, in my opinion would be better your doesn't mod it You tied something very difficult, but results are not very good. I like how you edit your pics but without pasting things of other real photos. That's my honest opinion.

What I like more is the signature

Good trial 👍 That's how we learn. (It's well said? :S)

 

[Diego440]

indeed it is well said.

Thanks for the good comments... and the bad.

I'm thinking the next time I try something like that, I'll make sure it looks good before posting it. Although I have to say I like the real tarmac on the tracks, especially the one with the Mitsu CZ-3 in it. But I also think that's as far as should be done... maybe applying some real forest and some real sky and some real buildings.... but as long as it's background.

 

[Diego440]

Right. So after a long time away from Photoshop and having hard times at work, I've updated this a bit.

They look very nice. I love the way you lighten your photos & they're so clean! Keep it up 👍

Very cool. I love the fourth thumbnail and the Skyline Concept shot. Very good work on the angles and composition.

I love your latest update a lot, but please drop by my PGR3 and GT4 gallery if you get a chance.
