Both shots of the Impreza are simply amazing. The level of detail is very impressive. In the 1st shot, the action feeling is all there, what a power shot Jg!!!!

Well done indeed:)
 
You don’t have the idea, but it is the 3rd time I trying to write this message, but when I end I seem to press something and the message is gone. Let’s see if I can do it this time:

I like your picture very much. The car has a great lightning and cleaning all around, and I just love what you’ve done with the headlights, and they’re displays, that almost look like they are on in the minimums. I also like what you’ve done to the sky, looks like a storm happening, although in the car and background part it looks like it is partially sunny. I also love how you embedded your sig in the image. I always tried to do that, but just failed miserably.

Great picture, and you gave me an idea for an update 👍
 


Thanks everyone. much appreciated. yeah the sky i don't know why i added those strokes, but i just thought they looked good. i was trying to simulate what usually happens before a tornado kicks in (i was watching something about tornado on tv), where the weather is still somewhat nice and sunny. so that's the part when the sky starts to gather energy, before the hail and the tornado kicks in :D

Bram: i think the deforming was due to the wide aspect ratio that i applied, i re-sized it back to the original, i think it went well. thanks for the help! i never would of noticed that 👍

Right, now for my CCCL Week 70 entry. Nuno said break the rules, I said break the car.
It only took a few brush strokes and some dodging and burning, then i did my fire from scratch (which i dont think looks very good btw), but i'm still proud of it :D for some reason i find this very, very, very, very, amusing and funny. partly i think the inspiration for this came from top gear's episode, where they set a nissan on fire with a jet engine car. anyways hope you guys enjoy this one. be interesting to hear your thoughts :)👍

"Mayhem"

The only useful thing you can do with a 'Teggy :lol:

Fire doesn't look great, but the damage is astounding 👍


I've beaten a couple of Z28 Camaros and 5 litre mustangs when i had mine.
And no, those muscle cars weren't stock either :D

thanks for the comments everybody. yeah i know i'm a bit rusty with the fire thing, since i haven't done it in such a long time. but it wont be long. anyways here's another update, it's a remix of my winner, from the unedited competition a long time ago. i believe it's still being used as a banner for that comp. and i'm proud of it. i just did something different, and made it look like it was photographed with flash, while speeding into the early sunrise, in early morning fog.
Here's the original shot, together with the thread. oh the good ol' days. we should work hard to bring back those competition spirits back up again. i know it's still around, but i just wish we could (note, i'm saying "we", meaning all of us :D) all have more fun here :D enjoy the new update.



it's not much. you can consider this as my scrap i suppose. i did an experiment with a photostitch, with a new shot in tokyo, just not sure if i wanna post it here or not. i wanna do some more work with it. :D maybe next time.​

Amazing job in the Integra! Far better than I could ever do! 👍
The 787B looks really good. Nice touch with the atmosphere ;)
 
JG, that is one hell of a shot!! Looks realistic (IMO of course) and the same time...artistic!! Great work on the lights, did you use lens flare? Because my GF says no, and I say yes :D
Superb work!!👍

thanks everyone, much appreciated!

here's my new update, sorry about using the same location again. i just can't help it since it was sitting in my usb stick for a while. i have so many shots of this place, including my ill fated scenery comp entry.
this one took me an hour to finish, as i had to totally delete the sky and put a new one from scratch, to get the sunrise look, without the stupid useless gt4 sun. i just think it has a better perspective for this kind of picture.

Looks nice, but I would recommend doing another thing. How about a continuous picture? You take multiple shots of an entire place, then pair them together. Like a map, if that helps you to understand. It looks unrealistic with the same cars, and buildings. But other than that, great 👍
 


yes codename L, i know about that :) i just thought it looked kind of cool to do that kind of stuff for now. i do have some shots to do that, but i just wanted to give it a try first.
i appreciate you commenting though 👍

my PMC Week 159 entry, together with the editted version. i was going for the polaroid photo appeal, which i've been loving lately in terms of real life photography, hence the border style :D enjoy

PMC Entry



Re worked edition ( i like the pmc style more, maybe because the car wasn't filled with mud and all)



 
I'm amazed by your latest work Adrian, simply stunning work!

The colors on that BMW are delicious, and I love your skills in lightning effects like those fire like things on the rims. Also, the paint on it looks scratched, which I love. I also loved you Mazda shot, but those flares were looking unrealistic. The Integra looked bloody awesome as well, I cannot believe how fast you've developed these skills all of a sudden. The only I could add is that the BMW would look better with some cleaning touches here and there, like the line that separates the roof and the front door for example, but other than that; Incredible work!

Man, I'm feeling like a beginner again after all of you guys, including Swiss and Lds pushed the level of competition through the roof. Add up the fact that Moglet still hasn't lost his touch, I feel like a total noob once again! :lol:

thanks for the detailed feedback. about the extra clean up, yeah i missed it, i didn't bother checking in the big screen in my living room. i was so tired after i finished with it, so i just said forget it and went to bed, as the brush work already took 2 hours. but i'm glad you liked the recent updates. to be honest, besides being funny, i'm not really fond of the integra update. i don't know why. i find the border doesn't really belong. anyways, thanks again!!

Color correction is so good for GT4...

thanks alex. good to see you here :D

Stunning transformation, man! Great job I love that car <3

thanks 👍

here's a part of my TVR Speed 6 update. I'll release the other photos from time to time, since there's so many of them. i just wanted to get this one out for now, just because i can't wait :D hope you guys like it. comments and suggestions are welcome. my first time combining tvr&ff's rain effect, with 3 different types of layers with the zoom blur. this is one of those photos where, i didn't think it would have any potential until i started messing with it. it's amazing what ac/dc and motley crue, and rock music in general can make me think of :D and be inspired for once.

Nice work on the 787's night conversion. The 3er is pretty cool with that crazy editing.
Since you said you having some fun with real photography, maybe you should try some HDRs with GT4 photos ;)
 
I just found myself gettin into HDR! :lol: That works soooo great for sunsets/rises.
Adrian...stellar job on the M5! Amazing work there. Love the effect the wheels have. I like the effect of TVR's rain mixed into your zoom blurred layers. 👍
 
Jg, the BMW is WOW!!! I like the realistic look of the 1st one a lot, and the 2nd one...oh my...great edition!!! The realistic look is still there, and the mud and the rain really adds extra style to the car. Congrats on that set Jg:tup:

Now the TVR...thats a mean shot!!! No words need to describe the fantastic job you did!! Lovely headlights btw!!

Simply amazing:D
 
Hello jgda9rs! :) How are you doing? I wasn't here for a month now and missed some really good pictures from you.. But.. I'm back and that's what counts :)

Have a nice day and best wishes,

S-Line Audi Fan :cheers:
 
I hadn&#8217;t had the opportunity to comment on your gallery, but you can be sure that I always view your updates, and I think they are all awesome.

Has for this new, I am not very fond of the zoom blur on car, but I have to say that colour wise, composition and that effect, that looks like the photo is behind some broken glass or an old photo, is amazingly amazing. 👍
 

franz : I actually did a few updates with hdr in the past, specially the one where i collaborated with TVR&FF. he introduced me to the process. i had it in my pc before, but of course it just had to crash, so i have to get another program.

Swiss: Thanks man! yeah HDR is a great program, so long as you don't over do it that you're getting halo's from out of space. the fire on the wheels were nothing but dodging. the reason it looked like flame is because of the blurred noise of the rain effect 👍

nuno: Thanks

SSRacing: glad you liked the LM update.

S-Line: Thanks 👍

LdS: really? why ? :D glad you found something you like about it though. i'll try to do better next time.

Codename L : :lol: hope you can run fast.

Alex: i know you're being sarcastic :lol: just say you hate it! :lol:
