My jaw dropped instantly after I saw the very first picture, and continued to stay open until the very end.

Those B/W's are pure porn and should be flagged.
In Garrett's language, Pascal's jaw dropped as low as Existence VIP - Excision and Downlink.

Pretty epic shot there, G! :drool:
 
Thanks guys! Sorry about the lack of updating, this set would of been out much earlier if my Computer's PSU didn't decide to roast it's self, but it's fixed and I'm back (after the shortest break ever) This set is kinda small, It was supposed to be up earlier, but I think it's pretty good. I'm using some new techniques for editing n' stuff, so hopefully this set's a good one. For this one, I thought showing off the new and old Challengers at Indy would be fun, and it really was, both cars sound great and look amazing. So for 2 badass, Racing Muscle cars, nothing better than the killer, southern rock/metal riff in Buckethead's Harpoon The Goon.

Not disapointed at all !!!
Brilliant !

Amazing set as always !
Special love for thay first vertical shot.
 
That is realism at it's finest!

I don't know, but it seemed like the cars are painted in gloss paint, and also something else puts it away from 'realistic', but I just couldn't put my fingers on it.

You mean the reflections overall.
Yes, but a clean car are with Chromrims shines at a sunny day. That's just how it would be in real life ^^
 
Great set! Vibrant colors whilst still maintaining strong sense of realism. Love the slight light leak look to the second to last shot!
 
I'll be honest, not really my taste but you have to expect that now and again.

To me, the "Plasma colours" don't really suit the atmosphere, and I can't find that connection between it if you get what I mean. I think the photos would have suited a more relaxed type of processing, y'know with warm tones, perhaps the odd lens flare. The B&W shot is perfect. The conrast is done beautifully and lighting is just so effective.

The HDR shot is a 50/50 shot for me. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. I think it may be, because there is just a little too much saturation for my liking.

Apart from that, well done and thank god you got a new PSU.

Just what I wanted to say.
Btw, I think that HDR shot would look better with less saturation of the yellow IMO.
However, I do have to say that with all the problems (only a couple really) it's still an awesome set.:drool:👍
 
Thanks guys. SM, Only the first is HDR, the 3rd is just curve work :P BkS, the reason I picked the insanely bright colors, is because of the racing past, I used Sublime Green on the 70's, as an homage to Sam Posey's SCCA Challenger, and as for the new one, I just thought Hemi Orange would fit it, and alot of my previous sets were very pale, and with how vibrant the colors were, I wanted to try a more vibrant set.
Anyways, on to the next. This one is a bit smaller, but I still wanted to get it out, as a bit of a filler for a larger update. I wanted to shoot 2 cars, but I couldn't decide what would be cool together, so I went the opposite way, 2 cars that have nothing to do with each other. First up, a Subaru Impreza and a Chevy Camaro. Took 'em to Cape Ring and had some fun. The set's smaller than I had planned, but it happens. Also as an added bonus, AJ takes on the Stig in a Mach 1.
