I make pretty pictures - HSV + Other Edits, BRZ Preview [9/29]

[akuyuku]

Just bought the HSV after work and took it around GVS for a few laps.





There's more I need to edit, but it's almost midnight.

I'm having a hard time trying edit these shots for some reason. Guess I'm not inspired enough.

wow these are very good, keep it up. I might have to subscribe to this gallery

 

[akuyuku]

If you subscribe then that would be cool. Never heard of people subscribing to threads actually. Maybe I should take advantage of that for news threads and stuff.

Anyway, the full HSV set is below. Enjoy.

​

And some edits to some other shots from the Edit My Photo thread.

​

I already took some shots of the BRZ, so that will come as soon as I have time off from work and school. Until then, comment, criticize, etc.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My three and a half hour Saturday class let out early today, so I had some time to edit two BRZ shots as a preview.



The banding and pixelation is really annoying. It's not from overediting either. The stock photo just comes out bad. Usually it's negligible, but I have to find a way around it in darker shots by using noise to smoothen it out.

Also, SSR7 with 100% wet surface is probably one of the most photogenic tracks in the game. I love the surface reflections, although they aren't captured correctly when you take a photo of it (ingame seems to have more bloom and more reflections compared to the actual photo), so I usually edit it to make it brighter.
