Really outstanding images in this set and quite a variety of shot styles and editing styles throughout. Amazing work! :drool: 👍 👍
 
**** yeah!
Everything I love about your work is present in this set - the toning, the lighting, the outstanding composition and so on. Great job, Garrett!👍
 
Thanks yet again everyone, great to see that it went over better than expected.
It's been a while, but this set... It's awesome. It wasn't going to get a release at first. The shots were turning out good at all. But a week or so later, I re shot. and they came out beautiful. Jaden piloting the LF-A, I'm in the F40.
To get full effect of it, you have to read everything in Clarkson's voice and style from here out.
Then, listen to it with KOAN Sound's remix of Green & Blue.

The Lexus LFA and Ferrari F40.
Arguably the world's best cars ever.
Style that defines a generation and a soul that isn't often achieved by many others.
Sure there's a 20 year gap between the two.
The LF-A filled with technology and carbon fiber and automatically lifting wings and whatnot,
While the F40 is just a wedge with a massive engine crammed in the back
and some carpet spray painted black for the interior.

But these 2 cars are something more than just cars.
More than just supercars for that matter.
They were made to be together.



They were meant to race together.
Not against each other in some sponsored fueled puppet show.
Oh no.
They were meant to be friends.



Jostling back and forth, roughhousing together,
causing trouble for the establishment and all that anarchy business.



But bringing these two together feels... right.
As if they're two life long friends seeing each other again.



The effect of these two is beyond words.
Such beautiful cars ripping and
roaring around the Nurburgring throughout the day.
a V10 and V8 singing along in perfect harmony.



The streaks of red and green,
dashing through the narrow and dipping roads.



The pops and crackle of ringing exhausts and downshifting echoing
throughout the forest like some sort of petrol fueled fairytale.



It's like that vampire romance novel.
Just a whole lot more interesting.



A love story any petrolhead could get behind.
The uncommon romance of Japanese luxury and Italian muscle.



It really is the perfect match.
Must be that whole opposites attract thing has some merit after all.



But why?



They're so far apart you can't measure it in lightyears.



Why do these two separate legends of their time mesh so well?
They don't look a like, they're old and young...
it just shouldn't work. It shouldn't be...



So beautiful...



But it is. And we love it.

I know I don't often comment in the galleries now but this set definitely merits a lot of appreciation. Each picture is perfect in every aspect; composition, sense of action, depth of field, tone/colour etc. Basically, it's just stunning work. I cannot pick out a single photo as my favorite because this set works best as a whole.

I would love you do this type of treatment more often.

Damn. Your story really connects. It gives the entire set a whole new depth to it. Great, great work, Garrett.

As for the photos, nothing is short of awesome. There is really nothing to say here, they're all so flawless as I see it and so... awesome.

Great work mate. 👍
 
Great stuff, gtuned. My favourite pictures are #3, #11 and #14. The texts give these pictures the final touch and add to the overall quality of this update.

What you're able to produce is amazing. Just amazing.
 
Well as everyone else has commented so far this set is fantastic. I also think one of your recent best. Awesome composition light and edit work.

Too any things to comment on. Not that you need any pointers. :sly:

Really love the last one. 👍
 
Okay dude... you have done it, you've made the perfect set. I mean, it's not even worth trying anymore. this is IT.:bowdown:
