George's Gallery - BMW M3 CSL

[GM]

Ok, I'll get to work on it soon.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

Why make it harder?

Any update ideas?

Because it would have looked better, but thats ok, this looks much cleaner than any of your previous shots, nice blur too man, i like it....

 

[GM]

Heres the Speed 12 picture, I added a headlight effect using Lens Flare and I lowered the brightness, but raised the contrast.

 

[nic_brix]

That's one great shot!

There is one, fairly obvious problem though - Although I know it is supposed to be dusk the sky is nowhere near bright enough and it sort of spoils the picture.

Nice colours in that shot though.

 

[Pebb]

It's too dark for my liking, but I like how you captured the headlights.

 

[GM]

It could be darker, I was trying to capture the evening effect.

 

[.*StReeTz*.]

Wow, you've gotten much better. Nice work.

 

[GM]

DMC Delorean at Seattle.




Enjoy.

 

[GM]

Any comments?

 

[.*StReeTz*.]

Average, you've done much better.

 

[GM]

I know it's not my very best, I have a better (in my opinion) update soon.

 

[alexwrc]

I agree with you about Spoon's photo. I like that type of pics!

De Loreans generates a great vanishing lines effect and good rims blurring. Curious match between upper wires and lower asphalt line in a interesting compositive tension 👍

[GM]

Yes, I found using Radial Blur on the wheels looked very good 👍

Thanks for the feedback

 

[FWA2500]

nice stuff!

one sugestion on the decals....(works best on a white car) instead of making them semi-transparent, in the box next to the opacity, select "Multiply"
thats how i do it at least....lol...

 

[NTX]

Those recent updates are good, the Speed 12 shot is wonderful mate, great work. The sky, the car, the colors...5 stars! The Delorean pic is a good shot, but I think that U can do much better...

 

[GM]

Mercedes E55 AMG at Nurburgring.



Enjoy.


If I got the car name wrong please say

 

[dmanbluesfreak]

I like the shot, but using lens flare as headlights doesnt look to realistic, IMHO.

 

[GM]

I faded the flare and changed the colour to make it look more realistic, how dare you say that!

 

[Alex.]

i jus decided to take a look at your gallery randomly! great pics mate! love the E55 and the ford gt in the snow!

 

[GM]

Thanks .

 

[dmanbluesfreak]

I faded the flare and changed the colour to make it look more realistic, how dare you say that!

Sorry man - i just seem to find that a light colored brush set to linear light is better for healights. Maybe a 20-40% lenseflare on ONE headlight...

The shot is very good, just the lights aren't hitting the spot for me.

 

[alexwrc]

I'm agree with dmanbluesfreak, but only is my opinion. You can also try dodge/liner/vivid brush mode at low opacity and choose better result

real nice shots. The Lancia shot is good and the Mercedes shot is also impressive. Congrats!

 

[GM]

Thanks, NTX .

 

[InsaneRacer]

Nice pic of the dc5. Also, any pics of the Spoon Teg, going through Spoon Curve, at Suzuka ?

 

[GM]

I have'nt taken any yet, maybe I could soon though .

How do you fix jagged edges?

They are what helped me out a lot, before I was a total novice at PS, with the help of those two I was able to turn these



into these



The area around the lights on the NSX was particularly nasty and did take quite a bit of time, as TVR&F recomends the smudge tool used slowely and carefully is very effective and was used here.

Yes it does take time, but the end results are well worth it.

I really should get back into doing some more photmode stuff - GM feel free to take a look around my (now old) galleries, links in my sig.
