You know...sunrise is kind of atmospheric. I have lots of pictures of sunrise or sunset, but I'm not done with it yet. For me it is the only time, when going out early-early morning in spring I see empty streets, slight haze on the ground, bright warm sun, hanging by the trees, bright vivid colors, dark long shadows... It awesome... the only time you can enjoy everything. Remember going to my studing in Academy by 8 AM... sitting on the windowsill with a cup of tea and sigarette, sunrise looks through the window, empty audiences, everything's quiet and you're on your own... miss these times.

Maybe some of you are fed up with the photos, you'll see below, but it is my dream - to go to Nurburgring in 4-5 AM in sunny june day, and have a couple of hours one-on-one with the track.

I decided to take Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. Its shapes, the are fantastic. These lines, change of color on the light. This car is like woman, and, defenitely, one of the most beatiful (well... I think so).

If you like Competizione, hope you'll enjoy the set.

On this image I tried to create some kind of realistic shot of 60's. Don't think I did my best, but like it... it's dark and guess it's right

Shapes of Alfa...

Here I couldn't stop... rear lights are fantastic.

And the last one... after some angling, tilting, a bit croppping, working with the colors I've done what I've been looking for

Great thanks for people, watching this gallery!​

Those Last 3 Alfa photos feels very nostalgic. It's like remembering good times you've had. Like the feeling you get when the sun is setting and you are about to go home, you remember what a good day you've had.

I think the background space is as important, if not more, than the car itself. The emptiness of it clears your head, like nothing else matters at that moment. Just car and road. I think most pictures taken in GT5 are about the cars and the detail and how realistic it is, but the best part of the game are the tracks.

P.s. wait, why is nbdesignz posting in your thread? I thought those were your pictures, and was like, did krako forget how to adjust aperture?

p.p.s
Please, leave orders for cars to shoot!:)
I order you to take pictures of a mini. the mini mini, not the big ones. thanks.

Thanks for the efforts you put in feedback! I think you again got it right:)

Have now idea why... maybe he missed a bit?
Understood!👍 Don't know about "mini mini" :) but I already have some ideas!
 
Thank you guys for the positive comments, it's a real pleasure to have such feedback! Hope today I'll get to my PS3 and make some shots... excpect some more oldies:)

Happy Birthday GTPlanet.net!​
 
A small update featuring racing theme... just 2 shots of Audi A4 DTM. A bit of experimental work, so don't judge to strict, please!:) lots of good angles and really good spots missed due to the standart cars, and that's sad:indiff:

Have more of these to post, but would like to know your opinion on them. Actually I'm thinking about R10 or 908 Hdi FAP to work with

Audi A4 DTM 2-2 by Rocking70s

Tried to split this shot half by the earth and half by the sky... than thought about some speed blur to create the atmosphere:)

Audi A4 DTM 3-2 by Rocking70s

Great thanks to everyone watching and posting comments, it's difficult to work without any feedback.

Cool Idea, Nice colors as usual. It's like old style advertising where speed lines and blurs means faster cars lol. but cool effect.

I think the thing that bugs me is in both picture, especially the second one, the dark vignette around the photo makes the sky look dirty. Because the sky is so pretty, it's kind of a waste to dirty it. the black is good on the bottom of the photo though.

the last picture. Try and cover the dark part of the sky with your hand and look at the picture. I think it looks great like that. it's like the car is running out of the dark and is chasing the bright sky. 👍
 
Great Audi shots!

Thank's for watching!:) My pleasure

Got it, resized! :) think you are right about the sky!
 
It's been a long time since I last posted here, had lots of work to do and finally today my hands got on Pshop... so here is a small update of totally unrealistic photos and one poster style picture:)

Eiger Nordwand Mini Cooper (hope it's not a crap as put much efforts in it)

Eiger Nordwand Mini Cooper by Rocking70s

and 2 shots... they are a bit strage, guess the atmosphere of engine heat isn't shown correctly, but nevertheless, they appeal to me!

Thank for watching!
 
YES! I love how you have the mini doing rally, I wish they brought over the rally mini from gt3. but the poster looks great, glad you made it do rally as the tone is perfect, the forest and dirt looks great with a red mini. the Font is quirky like the car too.

The other two, I like the second one especially, i like the watercolor look. good idea trying to show engine heat. actually you never get the sense of heat in the game. When I watch racing on tv sometimes the whole track gets so hot you see a reflection of the car on the ground, like a mirage. That would be a cool thing to try and replicate too!
 
Coud you please tell me why the 2nd? My favorite is 1st but all my friends like 2nd more... why?)

First one looks really good also, with the headlight up frond but the second picture sends out a calm and peacefull atmosphere, looks verry realistic and the coulors are Really nice, the green grass and blue sky, the straight lines and a stunning looking car.

Great thanks for the feedbac Marco! Thanks for visiting!:) It's a pleasure for me you liked the poster... firstly I decided to make modern Mini in Madrid... but, looking at it for a couple of laps I decided I like old Mini more:) I have one more Poster with old Corvette, just thinking about posting it or not...

About watercolor shots... after posting it here thought the car and angle is not right, now trying to do some Super Gt with the same effect... it's haaard:crazy: ... reflections 💡


Audi DTM shots are awesome, and I like the Mini poster and LMP "watercolours." :D

Thanks for visiting! Excpect feedback in your gallery... wish I had more time watching and commenting:(


OMG, it's bliss!:drool: Literally!

Nice work!👍

My pleasure! :)

Haha yea the old mini is definitely better :P

I don't know how to explain the reflections... It's like in the desert and it's really hot... I'll try and make a photo like that to show you.

NBDESIGNZ Thanks for consecutive visits! Looking forward to seeing updates of yours!
 
Long time since last update guys!:)

You know, after I saw that in GT5 someone can do THIS from this I felt myself like little bug, flying near a sleeping human's ear and making very annoying noise. But, nevertheless, I decided to make some shots of my beloved Sauber Mercedes C9 race car... that was the only thing that inspired me to launch Photomode:)

Here we are. Nothing hyper-super-natural or exceptional, but hope you'll like it!

Thanks in advance for watching! If you liked it, please feel free to comment!
 
I'm with GP, I like all three 👍
I always like the texture you get in your photos.

oh, and interesting choice on using a square frame! works really well especially with the second picture.
 
Hi! Nice gallery! I'm a big fan of some of your more unusual photoshop stuff, such as the wide angle panoramas, they're fresh and different and I'm really enjoying seeing it! Your HDR stuff is great to see as well, although *some* of it is just a touch overdone for my liking.

Long time since last update guys!:)

Would you mind directing me to the person who made that Nurburgring weather shot? It's really well done, I'd love to find out who did it!

Edit: Nevermind, I was browsing the Photomode section (not galleries) and stumbled across it. Thanks anyway :)
