I really like that Shelby picture with the river in the background. Good stuff!

 

[Ryosuke_Gumna]

Nicely done! I love the Zonda Roadster!! 👍 👍

 

[Touring Mars]

Wicked! How did you do that? Very nice....

My attempt at creating the Zonda C12S Roadster:





I think it turned out pretty good.

I have also ATTEMPTED creating a roadstar

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Thanks for the comments everyone. Being rather new to the photoshop experience, it took me over 100 layers to make the roadster, but I was learning as I went and could probably lessen that by a good 20 layers or so. It was enjoyable the whole time!

 

[spykerdriver]

Very nice!
I like that roadster and "the river shot".

 

[Speedy Samurai]

My attempt at creating carbon fibre...

 

[Ryosuke_Gumna]

Awesome, what can i say? 👍 Great job!!!

How exactly did you do it then? Looks awesome by the way 👍

I took photos of the Zonda and the Merc SL65 AMG from the same angle.
Then I cut the top off the Zonda and put the Mercs interior on
then assembled the Zonda's windscreen etc.
It wasn't so clean and dry though. I had to fix some things.
half of the passenger seat was assembled by me using pieces of the drivers seat.

However, the background started to look bad so I took 2 pictures of the background with a small car like the daihatsu. Then using those 2 picture made one background. Then cut away the car and placed it on the new background.

 

[El Gigante]

Sounds as if you put a lot of effort into that SS! Well done for doing so, as you've ended up with a great result

 

[Speedy Samurai]

PANNING!


Trial Celica





The 400R



Lancia Stratos


These were taken for the Photomode 2.0 week 4 competition themed 'panning'. Yes, I will concede that some of the shots aren't technically pans but I was predicting I would make them pans using photoshop.

Crazy Japan fact#1: There is 1 vending machine for every 22 people in Japan.

 

[Sprite]

Love the update speedy. good work on the 400r and celica.

 

[LandoAWD]

The Lancia set is my favorite of those. It really fits the course well, and the color stands perfectly.

thanks everyone. I picked that color for the Lancia because it is the same color as one I saw driving down the street. For me, if I see a car from GT4 driving down the street I have to go buy that car in that color. Makes for a rather full garage.

 

[BrooklynGT]

Love the 3rd shot of the 400R 👍

 

[kennythebomb]

I like this one most

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Thought I'd include some more supercar pictures.

The VW Nardo (or 'the cockroach' as my wife calls it.)






The lovely Ford GT.








The Saleen S7.






The Jaguar XJ220.






I was trying to get good shots of their respective powerplants but some were better than others.



More to come. I love my supercars!

 

[Ayreonaut]

Nice pictures man.The jag powerplant looks great.

 

[My_Sterious]

Yeah, nice one's on the Nardo and the GT. Don't really care about the Saleen or the Jag. They just look horrible. (Not your pics, just the cars in general ) The second GT looks very nice. 👍 Keep it up!

 

[s12ken]

Nice one speedy! excellent update! lovin those engine pics!

 

[kennythebomb]

Might I suggest?

The Nardo and GT sets are filled with great pictures. The second to last in each of those two sets is the best picture, amazing.

 

[LandoAWD]

I really like the GT set in particular.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Another update. Mostly things I have had laying around.



I entered this in the '2.0 Competition' recently.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

A beloved RUF.


















I took these with plans to use them for 'panning/drifting' shots but wasn't really satisfied with the results.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

My poor Life Step Van.

 

[Araba]

great RUF shots, like them very much ...👍

 

[JacoJa]

...So many awesome shots in one gallery. I particularly like those of the four supercars shown above. Great work speedy 👍 👍

 

[LandoAWD]

I like the first pic on the second row from the bottom. "Snake in the grass" is what it says to me.

Thanks Jacoja and everyone else. I have been looking long and hard through lots of everyone's galleries to get ideas before starting mine. There is some great work displayed here at GT Planet.
