thanks TVR. i still have a lot to do in terms of the vanishing point placement and motion blur in general.

I really liked the 2nd shot of the Amalfi hairpins, the one shot from above. The tarmac is looking brilliant on that one, excellent shot!

The remix looks good too, I really like the natural lighting on that one.

This Monaco shot is very well composed, you always have awesome scenery shots (glad that wasn't the theme of our tournament battle). Not too sure about the glow though, maybe a bit less would've worked better. Which car is that? The RX-8 LM?
 
thanks beerz. have u done a shot yet for the tournament ? coz i have 2, but they're crap :D and i wish i got 'scenery' shots for a theme :lol: just like the first tournament when i went against LGF. but MR cars make for good photos too because of their design layout and their known performance capabilities.
goodluck to the tournament by the way. i look forward to seeing your entry 👍

ps: about the glow in the picture, i was aiming for the type of scenery from a part of the game called 'Rule of Rose', it was inspired by one of the cut scenes from the game, where they feature gloomy, rather depressing and chilling atmospheres to the surrounding :) glad you liked it man. i'm just a bit disappointed i didn't get a lot of comments from my recent updates lately, which i spent a lot of time on. oh well. guess everyone's busy.

PS: forgot, the car in that photo is my nissan silvia S14 :)
 
Your latest shot has just burned my eyes out, when I looked near the top of the shots. However the contrast, which is not part of the sky is nice.
 
Quite an interesting photo you have their, lol. I like it, i just can't figure out a way to describe how i feel about the picture.

Im sorry but all i can do is give it a generic great job, keep up the good work 👍, lol
 
i love all the monaco shots, its a really good for a modern feel what with all the cuved buildings ect, and that has given me an idea, nice work :)
 
thanks everyone. that picture is a bit weird to me too :D too much of that evil game i guess. now i'm going nuts trying to find a shot for the tournament,
which i'm working on right now. i just realized that my gallery's first year anniversary is coming up in 5 days time on June 22nd. and i have a something instore for that occassion :) and this update is gonna be an appy for what you guys are about to see, though the feature update for the 22nd is gonna be different, it's gonna consist of a scenery shot, which i love doing, and something else, which i still have to figure out. the NSX you're about to see, i was gonna use for the tournament, but the more i looked at it, the more i found it to be 'too common' if you guys know what i mean, at least in my world it is. so i'm back to the drawing board again. anyways here are the photos. enjoy everyone!

Nice shots. Also, thank you for talking about your gallery's 1 year anniversary because it reminded me that i should do something for mine. I still have 1 month and 6 days though :grumpy:
 
That's very nice, J!

The NSX reminds me of my shot for the qualifying round, the stealth 3000GT. And yours looks great too, love those tones on the roof. :)

About the scenery shot, like I said, I'm glad that's not the our theme or I'd be lucky to get a single vote against any of your shots... Very nice work, love the tones. 👍
 
Your recent work is sweet J, you have an eye for scenery shots. That Monaco shot in the rain is very cool.
I was impressed with the overhead drift shot in post 1244, very cool. I also wanted to ask if the shot you entered into the recent drift comp follows the rules? Just wasn't sure since the flames look edited.

I really like the idea of your Tourney entry too, very original and the car looks great too.

Sorry for the short comment, I am unwell at the mo. Keep up the good work and I will be sure to check in again soon. 👍
 
thanks so much for the comments guys. well, this day is the first year anniversary of my gallery. so you guys will be in for a scenery shot later on in the evening. i still havent got around the shots that i wanted to present here,
as i have been busy with my real life stuff, and helping my friend out for the car show this coming saturday, so i decided to give you guys a few...should i say, appetizers. they're not the greatest in my opinion, but would be a shame to hide them away. these are actually the shots i was gonna use for the tournament, but i dont think people would like them. anyways i would like to thank everyone for the support everyone has given me here. i never learned how to use the potentials of the photomode and things that you can learn until i joined gtp. so i owe you guys all of these, including the stuff that i have learned with the photo editting programs. i would love to do requests, but i'm afraid they're gonna be in a very, very limited amount, as i have been busy and i still am, with real life in general. so i'm giving you guys 12 hours to
send in your requests, first come first serve, and only 10 of them would be considered. the last person to send in his or her request as of 2:20pm PST is where i would cut the mark. again, thanks everyone and please dont be mad if you dont make it. blame it all on the time constraints. here are the previews and enjoy them!

TW: yes the entry i used for the last drift comp was illegal :D i changed it already though, so not to worry.

Cod Father: the last scenery shot you saw was editted with photoshop,
with the toning and colors done with gimp. i editted the photo with ps and gimp at the same time. i just thought photoshop's colors looked good combined with gimp's channel mixer machine. i love it!

Beerz: yea i was hoping after the quali that we'd end up with a scenery theme like the first round of the first tournament :D too bad for me though. my shot wont be that great, so you have a great chance of advancing to the 2nd round. but then i might just change it tomorrow if there's time.
 
Those shots are really nice, J. 👍
I can't imagine the quality of the one you've submitted to round 1, if these are rejects.

The 1st shot especially is beautiful, love the tones and the smoothness, great job on the cleanup!

And my request is...

A Toyota Corolla (the road one) in metallic light blue, cruising around (or racing hard, your choice) in New York City. :D
 
I absolutely adore your scenery shots. They are truly mindblowing in quality, both in terms of composition, lighting and even colouring. I have no idea how you achieved that look on the Monaco shot but it makes it look amazingly realistic. It looks to me like it was taken out of a window high up in a building near the track!
 
Hope to request on time mate...Spyker C8 if U can Jg!!

I gotta say that your recent updates are fantastic.
Love the Monaco picture a lot, one of your best works IMO. The Cathedral Rocks postcard is also a very nice one, great capture.
And look at this last NSX shot, simply amazing, very "mean" looking...well done JG!!!

:cheers:
 
thanks guys for the comments. i've taken notes of your requests and i'll have them ready this wednesday, provided i get a hold of all the cars, together with the rest of the anniversary pic i promised. it's just that i have been busy with work lately, so i dont really have the patience and time to do updates. but stay tuned! here's a little treat for now, which is also included in the anniversary udpate:

AutoUnion-1.jpg


my tournament reject II, also my biggest mistake for not entering it
IMG0023.jpg


just a photo that inspired me, i got the idea from watching the 2007 24 hours of Le Mans. my tribute to the Le Mans winning Audi R10. i know it's an r8, but we dont have the R10 in gt4 :D

IMG0016.jpg


TVR: i'm gonna have to buy another one since my current speed 12 has different wheels on it, but it wont be a problem

Beerzgood: Not a problem, but are you talking about the four eyed one like the rallye car?

NTX: Not a problem at all. i do have that car in my stable. i hope black's okay with you ?
 
J - It's the only Corolla on sale at the New Cars lot, at Toyota. I think it's called Corolla Runx Z Aerotourer or something, In light blue (mica or metallic, can´t remember exactly).

Very nice shots you have there, I'll comment on them with more detail as soon as I find some time.

And wish me luck for the next round of the tournament! 👍 It was pretty cool battling with you, mate. :cheers:
 
I rarely do this, but this update deserves...:bowdown: :bowdown:

And of course its ok to be the black Spyker...I´m already ansious:tup:

:cheers:
 
i hope theres an r10 in gt5 - it realistically ought to be the best car in the game i think.

love the second pic, must have taken a while to edit....

i agreee that it should be a poster :)
 
The AutoUnion looks neat, I love the tones and the reflections on the wheel arches. It kinda reminds me of the T1000, the liquid metal guy, at the mill, all it needs is the sparks in the background. :)👍

The 'reject' shot is fabulous!
Love the sharpness and realism of the cars (shiny!), the blur on the background and the tones of the sky in the center of the shot.
It would have probably got more votes. I'm really glad you didn't submit it, I have to be honest. :)

The 24H shot is very well done, the tones look fairly realistis, great ambiance change, the tones on the car and on the Dunlop tyre are just great.
Only thing I find a bit not-working is the noise on the lower right part of the shot. Everywhere else it works ok, but in that big black area looks strange.
But a VERY good shot nevertheless.

Great work all around, J! :cheers:
