I'd like to kick this off. This shot is in my gallery, thought it fit the theme well with the snow and what not. Please let me know if I entered this in a comp already. I don't think I did, so it is my...

[Swiss Legend]

[David48]

I tried something new with this. Hope you guys like it, but I don't think it can come anywhere near beating Bram's entry.

Note to self: If I haven't touched GT in half a year, do not jump back into car cleanup with the R8.

The Planet sure has changed, and there's nothing I can really say for leaving everyone hanging all those months ago. A huge thank you to Swiss for keeping what is, without a doubt, the best comp still running. I hope everybody's holidays were great

Hope there's room for one more...

Looks who's still alive

It's great to see you SlipZ 👍

 

[Nicknamealguem]

I am working on one right now. It is cleaning you want, it is cleaning you will have. 👍

Glad to see so many of the old guys reappearing. 👍

 

[David48]

I lost... badly... Great shot SlipZ!

 

[magburner]

Hmmm... I don't use tools, can I still enter?

FINAL ENTRY



Apologies in advance for the size of the image. I am using PNGs instead of JPEGs for various reasons (which I shall explain at a later date). 👍

​

 

[Bram Turismo]

You did clean I can tell from the boot of the car. But anyway, I love the pink-ish tones you have going on in there Mag 👍 Also, those rims really make it look like the LM NSX from GT1, oh lord I miss that game now

Oh that, all the "old guys" are returning this week. Yay!

 

[David48]

Makes me wish I was here in the "old days". Great shot.👍 Very clean!

We wish indeed, guys like Magburner, SLipztrem, sejtur, 440_CHARGER, franz, Funkshen, Revolution were all there, and they're probably laughing at us when they see our entries

I still can't believe you don't use tools. But I have read through your techniques a few times and have tried some of your methods. i do use some of them. You were a huge influence on "the legend".

I bet they are laughing. Try as I might..I can't quite get to that "next level" yet.

Yeah, especially mine.

 

[NTX]

Slip is alive!!! And what a shot!!!! Great to see you, honest:tup:

Magburner, WOW, impressive!!!👍

 

[Bram Turismo]

You did clean I can tell from the boot of the car.

I take it back.

I read some of your techniques Magburner, and I've got to admit; That's a nifty way to produce a good shot in little time 👍

I've got to try that myself once, though it's not my style, I'm a rather smudging guy

Great work!

OK, I said a little white lie there, I did use one tool - the GT4 Photomode application! Other than that, I only used blur and sharpen filters in Photoshop. I honestly only use tools when I create blurs, other than that, I can't be bothered (its too much like hard work for me).

You missed Krame, the guy that inspired me to start a gallery! 👍

Thanks for the compliments, I'm honoured that I have influenced you in some way! 👍

I know its seems improbable, but it is true - I never use tools! Everyone is good at something. Guys like yourself and Bram Turismo are Photoshop experts. Guys like myself are Photomode experts. What I can't do in Photoshop, I do in game, and along the way, I save myself a heap of post processing! All will be come clear sooner or later...

Yeah, it is a good way of creating a good shot quickly, but the secret is to start with a good shot, not end up with one! 👍

I'm rather pleased that you influenced me too, 👍
I really try to get the best and most creative composition possible. I got sucked into the glitz and glamour of 2.0 and PS. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's not actually my true "photomode self" Oh well. It is what it is.

Yeah, it is a good way of creating a good shot quickly, but the secret is to start with a good shot, not end up with one! 👍

I do agree with you there. That is a great philosophy that people should take to heart.

 

[jgda9rs]

i wanna enter but i'm scared. i have an old update that's perfect for this, but i think i used it in a comp last year.


and i strongly agree with magburner. iso true, specially in real photography.

 

[NTX]

Its not a fancy shot, and will not stand a chance, but here is...​

Final Entry​

[Nicknamealguem]

Great entries so far.
It would be cool if more of the old guys came back and entered also. Speaking of whom, where is alexwrc?

Also, Swiss, don’t close this one without me. I plan on finishing mine tomorrow maybe. Still working on the reflection lines.

 

[Swiss Legend]

you got it!
