Haha, the german ghost 👍. The front reflection of the car makes it very diffuse btw, I'm agree it seems exagerated and doesn't match very well with the overall lighting of the car. That kind of things only needs a little bit more time to make them right.

I'll be back to see more shots.

The car looks weird because of barrel distortion. On a real camera if you zoom right out with the lens you get barrel distortion (My SLR gets barrel distortion once you zoom out past 25mm or so. At 18mm the barrel distortion at the edges of the photograph are very noticable. This is neatly replicated in GT4 photomode!) which causes the edges of the image to have a 'fisheye' effect to them. Any objects near the edges will appear warped outwards. It occured in this photo because he obviously had the camera quite close to the car and just used a low zoom.

Would have been a bit better to place the camera far away and zoom in on the car from there. Not only would this leave it with no distortion but the apeture would give the background a nice blurred effect resulting in some interesting 'bokeh'. The ghost could then be added even more smoothly.

It's a nice shot otherwise though, the lighting and composition really lend themselves to the way it's been edited. The ghost looks perfect where you've placed him, too!
 
Pretty damn scary XD.. good use of colors also! and some nice rims to top it off :)
Check out my new updates :D

True works of art around here mate!! I specially like the Mercedes and RUF shot, very nicely done. But U have here great quality shots, so keep it up:)
 
thanks :D unfortunately, my pc has contracted a virus a couple minutes ago, so i don't know if i'll be doing any updates anytime soon until i get it fixed..thanks again !
 
I love your new stuff. The photographs have a nice quality and your editting gives a best look anyway. I like the colors, the cleaning and the lighting effects. I took a look to your previous works, until my arrive to GTP, and I have found interesting things. Keep doing this!

thanks guys.

Alex : thanks for taking the time to look at my previous stuff and finding the difference. I don't know exactly what it was you found, but i know looking back myself has brought me to where my levels are right now. thanks again!

Cod_Father : thanks! i'll try and get it fixed soon. i just have to install a new
anti-virus and i should be ok.
 
thanks! for now, i'm screwed. i can't find my new anti-virus disk. wish me luck on this one. hope my pc doesn't crash.
 
The lastest updates look good, love the RUF and Merc shot. Very cool. 👍

Hope you get your virus problem fixed, I know how annoying it can be. I had one awhile ago. Good luck. :)
 
thanks !

whole set will soon (maybe) follow.

 
Any update on the virus problem, anyway I wish you had kept the original rims in that preview shot.

Any update on the virus problem, anyway I wish you had kept the original rims in that preview shot.

don't like the rims do ya ? :D i thought it looked cute in a funny kind of way :D about the virus, i'm slowly getting rid of some of it, still have work to do to rid the bastard off my pc.
 
:drool::drool: Look that!! The bridge shot is like a film, I really love it. Haha, that tiny 500 is so... italian.

The 1st one, I think the textures of reflections are quite diffuse, and the floor under the car need a more shadow. Well, I'd have expected another kind of rims, in my sweet 500, but the scene as a heaven glorify the car.

About last image, it's great too, the exposure level gives a particular feeling.

The theme of the photosession is good focused imo. The 500 is not a car for racing, and you made an interesting work with it 👍

nice analysis. it's almost like u went inside my brain. yes, the first pic, i diffused the reflections. it just gave the car more definition, and it got rid of what used to be bluish reflection on it which i found ugly. i actually have two sets with this car, the first one didn't turn out too well though. i'm glad u liked my theme of this session. i wanted to focus on something movie-ish, and i'm glad someone could relate to it :) i'm happy ! i so want my SLR camera soon. what u see here is what i've been wanting to do for a while. i tried it today with my disposable, and they turned out really grainy. so sad :D
anywho, thanks again. and same to TVR&FF. i'm glad u guys liked this update.
i have a few more. just trying to take it easy on my pc for now. so, all i can say is stay tuned for the last of this update.:)
 
Hahaha, love the fact you blinged out the Fiat with those rim's, very cool. That second shot is amazing, like Alex said. It looks like it has been pulled out of a film with the letterbox style and the fact that it is so good.

Also like Alex said, the shadow needs to be darker in the first, I find I have to do that alot in my shots. The shadow's never seem to be dark enough.

The third looks great too, it's got that old photo feeling. Great work, looking forward to the next update. :) 👍
