I love the colors and reflection. Great choice of rims also.

Do you drive an Integra in real life?
Sorry if I seem random or stupid, it's just every time I see you're screen name I think of that car.

 

[Jay.]

Silvia looks great with the darkened lines.

Integra R is just awesome. You've caught the light brilliantly! 👍

 

[Barracuda]

Great update. The Background really adds a lot to the overall shot.

keep it up 👍

 

[NTX]

That Integra is HOT!!! One of your most cleaned shots!!!
Simply...WOW!!!
What more can I say, just bring your next update:tup:

 

[jgda9rs]

thanks for the kind words guys. the original copy of that photo was actually quite rough, never thought i would get it cleaned at all.took me an hour just cleaning up the lines of the car, nevermind doing the motion blur and the lighting was another one that took a lot of time. glad you guys liked it.

Driftnewb110: yes i did drive one in real life
Loon: The last few updates including the silvia and the ones i posted here, the colors were actually balanced with gimp, and then mixed them with photoshop's colors 👍
Alex: that's coming up soon

Ford GT40

Honda NSX-R (i was gonna use this shot for the drift competition 2.0 special, but i thought it wasn't up to scratch to even make it to the poll.
i just found it so flawed, but i still like it

 

[Pebb]

Great work on the Ford GT, anyway your latest update deserves the thumbs up, because of that Ford GT.

 

[alexwrc]

Yeah, both are great! The spectacular lights of the NSX are sweet!

the colors on the nsx is good, but, the ford gt shot makes this update stand out. 👍

 

[jgda9rs]

i'm surprised you guys liked the nsx shot somehow. though i did spend a lot of time on both of them, specially the gt40 where i had to use the dodge/burn tool for the reflections on each area of the car and same goes with the door and hoodlines and things like that.thanks for the great words again guys.

this time i decided to do a scenery shot of Cote d' Azur in Monte Carlo. something i believe we don't see very often here in the galleries. enjoy guys.

 

[[empty space]]

too much noise for my liking, but, good angle and colours 👍

 

[Cod_Father]

Last few updates are very nice. The NSX shot is sweet! Keep up the good work.

 

[Speedster502]

and speedster, what is an A.S.B.O? never heard that before.

Really? Antisocial Behaviour Order, thats what it is. And where have I been recently? You have really, really improved!

Integra: Beautifully done, the film strip, the colours. Perfect! The blur really is good!

Ford GT: Aye, Aye, Aye!!! Lovely blur, lovely everything...again!

Honda NSX: Really nice shot! To much smoke for me though.

Monaco: Really, really, really nice shot jgda9rs! Little too much noise but really nice angle!
Great work on this!
Check out my gallery if you have time!

 

[Vince247]

That Ford GT is outstanding!
You've made me love that car even more.

 

[jgda9rs]

thanks everyone! and thanks for the info speedy! it wont happen again *coughs* yeah right*coughs* the smoke on the nsx was like that, coz i just clipped the curb too much and i wanted to capture the dust being kicked up by the tires, i have a frontal shot of the same angle, just the textures were really bad so i didn't bother with it.
CF: Thanks !!
Vince: i actually wasn't so sure of that update till i started burning the shadows on the car. glad you liked it! 👍
[es]: thanks man!

here are my latest comp. entries and some rejects. the one with the big back fire on it, i enhanced the flame coming out of the exhaust, i used the technique i applied with the gt4 balloon fire, and i found it hard to do with different lighting. i guess you have to adapt to the amount of exposure and contrast on the photo, not to mention getting the shapes and angles right. oh well. first time for everything. let me know what you guys think.

my latest entry for the GT4 Photomode 2.0 Competition

i was gonna use this one, but i decided not to, because the
smoke effect was not allowed, and the pic looks bland without it to my eyes.

and this one i didn't use because it was simply
against the theme of the comp. the car was basically in the wrong end of the track

my pmc comp entry

Bonus Shot

My very first time applying backfire in the 'proper' time i should say
it wasn't as easy as i thought it would be. took me another hour just to get what i wanted. and yes, i know some parts of the car are jagged, but i didn't care anymore after.
- Kind of.

 

[Speedster502]

Really good again. The one you entered was the right one to enter unlesssmoke was allowed, I learnt that the hard way . Also maybe if one with the smoke on was zoomed out a bit more to see the edge of the wall that would give a better sensation of the drift. Also why did you leave the water mark on your PMC shot? Overall some really good work here jgda9rs. Keep it up.

 

[jgda9rs]

thanks speedy. i totally agree with your post, but we all have to learn somehow right ? 👍 i say you try and not worry too much. about the wall, i did try that, but when i did, the pic would look really distorted. i could of done a sort of wide angle shot, but it just did not look good at all. about the pmc entry, i just thought the clone stamp would ruin the in-game blur it came with, and since we can't use blur in pmc, then there would be no way for me to hide the ugly spots. i eventually changed it to a different pic, this time with no watermark. i just didn't post it here 👍 thanks again for your great comments. they're much appreciated. now time to show what happened to alexwrc's panda racing against my NOS purging, turbo charging, fire breathing scion! hahahaha! here it is. enjoy everyone. feel free to point out flaws and what not. i know the flame effect is not up to scratch, i'm working on it. i also added some black smoke on the back of the panda (i feel bad for doing all this honest), trying to depict engine failure after fire broke out.

this is part 2, besides the balloon, of my upcoming disaster filled updates. stay tuned.

 

[alexwrc]

LOL WTF! You used 2 cars at NY to push me huh? Haha, cool revenge man.

I like the lighting of the overall scene and the speed sense near the Scion. The flame is not so good like the last image of your previous update. Btw it seems you have messing arroung with channel mixes again lol, that thing I can't control yet.

My Panda's blowed up, but I'll be ready soon. Don't worry lol.

Salu2.alexwrc

 

[NTX]

To me this Scion´s picture is quite funny...look at that flame...Booooomm!!!
Still, I like the sense of speed U gave, does that car goes that fast??
Love the Silvia shot....damm, the backfire its really good, very nice work Jg!!!
The 350 Z shots are cool!! If smoke was allowed, that 2nd shot would be one of the most voted. I also like a lot the backfire coming from the 350 Z, looks the car look very stylish and agressive!!!

Another good job Jg!!!

 

[Jay.]

Hah!

Long live Pandabusa!

I love that shot, smoke needs blending in a little more though.

Smoke on the 350Z on the hair-pin is top class.
You,re right it does seem to make the pic. 👍
and the 350Z with backfire is cool. I like it a lot!

Great work! 👍

 

[Cod_Father]

That overhead shot of the Nissan in the hairpin in top notch work.

 

[Speedster502]

You have made my day! Awesome work mate!

 

[freddy86]

Wow those last shots are so damn beautiful. Especially the 2nd one of the Z 350 is amazing. I love that one. 👍

 

[Driftnewb110]

Did you edit the flames on the S14 and 350?
They look better than they do in the game.

 

[Vince247]

another nice update J.

 

[jgda9rs]

thanks so much guys!

Alex: i hope it is going well and yes, i used the two taxi cabs to box you in! hahahaha
Driftnewb110: The backfire on the silvia wasn't actually on the original picture, i just added it on. on the 350, i just made it better and basically extended the flame and sort of changed its angle a little bit 👍 by the way, here's a remix of your Chaser shot in tokyo. hope you like it

Driftnewb110's Chaser tearing up tokyo at 200kph!

The levels of the car works so fine... Once again you have to get the correct vanishing point placement hehe, it's moved.

Salu2.alexwrc

 

[Driftnewb110]

looks so much better

 

[Loon]

Yeah thats damn awesome work Adrian, you have a jnack for taking dark shots and making them bright as day. Very nice work man.👍

oh btw, i'm working on the vanishing point. hopefully i get things right soon.

looks so much better

thanks!! glad you liked it 👍

thanks LOON. i like taking dark shots, coz whenever i take bright ones, they tend to get all washed out after i edit them 👍

My Photomode Tournament Comp. Entry. i wasn't really happy about this shot. i was gonna modify it a bit after i sent it to NTX, but i just thought, ah to hell with it and let it be. it's quite an original concept, dont think i've seen anyone do this before. thanks to everyone that voted for it. you guys rule!

 

[Pebb]

Nice remix in post 1255 jgda9rs.
