Great shots, I do like the one in the yellow Tulip, nice subtle blend of tones between the colour of the frog and the flower.

That red one is really rich.

Great shots dude 👍 .

 

[Nicknamealguem]

AMAZING!!!
The color transition and combination on both are extraordinary.
The red one is my favorite, the frog seems so majestic. Kind of personifies the frog has a king sitting in his throne. 👍

Thank you. ^^ It's interesting to see who prefers which. Yellow or Red. You're one of the few who likes the Yellow better, I think. Which is interesting.

That red one is really rich.

Great shots dude 👍 .

Thank you, I think the lighting did work out well there. ^^

Wow, Thank you. ^^; I didn't expect anyone to have that reaction. The red is a very strong royal red, so it does make sense. Obviously he didn't want to have that kind of responsibility, so he was trying to flee his throne. Hah.

Awesome shots dude. Really cool 👍 I think the yellow works better as a standalone shot with good composition and fantastic colour. The red one is good as well, but works better together with the yellow as a set. Very artistic pp as well, i love them both.

Thanks. ^^ I think they go well as a set too. Which is why I put them together now. And I gave them each a related name "Yellow Lick" and "Red Lick". I might just have to make a Yellow Lick II because of people's enthusiastic response to that one.

Here's a little tease of what is to come, featuring the #62 Risi Competizione Ferrari F430GT at the Mosport ALMS race.

From me walking the grid.

From the inside of Corner 3.

 

[Scaff]

Oh these look like they are going to be good, can't wait for the rest of the shots, as I love the colour on the first one.


Good stuff

Great detail and rich colours. I really dig this current pp style you have going. 👍

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'll try to update with a few more on the weekend, I took many, many shots there. Have to keep a few for the competitions too. Heh.

Great detail and rich colours. I really dig this current pp style you have going. 👍

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. ^^ I try my best.

Holy vibrant colors Batman! I agree with everyone else, I can't wait to see them. Your pictures look really great, especially that re-edit of the open wheel car. It's amazing what a few adjustments can do.

 

[Nicknamealguem]

Everything is perfect !!! Can’t wait to see the whole update 👍

Yes it is amazing what a few tweaks can do, I was amazed how far I could revamp that one. I'm very glad you enjoy them. I will try not to wait too long with this update.

Everything might be perfect, but I think I'm going to tweak the second picture a bit. Heh. I might not just dump all the pictures, I'll keep the updates small - less waiting then between them. Will probably switch cars every update as well. ^^

 

[NLxAROSA]

Yep, first one of the F430 spells 'pro' to me. 👍

Well I'm definitely not a pro. I appreciate the compliment, however. Thank you. ^^

 

[LongbowX]

I just wanted to ask you guys: Do you think the Panning Ferrari shot looks better level? Since it was on a slant in real life, and I thought it looked dynamic, I kept it that way. Keep in mind my edit here isn't perfectly level - but the car is, which is the most important part. But I would like to hear other people's opinions.

 

[Scaff]

Nope - keep the track level on that one, the slant on the car adds to the dynamic impact.

But the track nor the track were level before ...? I just wondered if one of them being level would improve the shot. I don't think it does, but I like hearing other peoples opinions.

How do you do it?

Amazing as always, Longbow 👍.

How do you do it?

Amazing as always, Longbow 👍.

For me...it's only two things: practice and enthusiasm. And taking lots and lots of shots And a lot of luck. (So maybe 4 things...). I love taking photographs, especially at events like these. I'm not particularly talented or good at this, but I do try, and with practice - improvement can definitely be seen. Your stationary shots are already beyond my ability, with some more opportunities to practice panning, you can achieve the same, if not better. ^^ Thank you very much for the praise, however.

 

[Watchman]

That shot is amazing, LongbowX. Great job! 👍

Here is another little tease for everyone. This one featuring the #40 Doran Ford GT-R.

Entering Corner Nine.

Near the bottom of Corner Two.

I love the slightly de-saturated look of the first shot. And the composition of the second shot is cool. The dark tone to the shot works well too 👍

 

[Scaff]

Good stuff, I like the 'gritty' look of the second one, really draws out a feeling of the end of a long race.


Regards

Scaff

 

[Watchman]

Great shots as always. Liking the second one very much. 👍

 

[Cano]

The second picture is absolutely brilliant, even if it's a little dark for my taste, I know that is the intention overall, I'd just like to see more detail on the car. Graining is exceptional, though. Very nice.

EDIT: Forget what I said, it was my monitor. I saw it in a properly calibrated screen and it is awesome. Perfect (: In fact, can I have it BIG? like REAL big?

 

[Nicknamealguem]

The Ferrari, and both pictures of the Ford GT-R pictures are amazing. My favorite is the last of the Ford GT-R set. 👍

Thank you. ^^ I like desaturating the grass because sometimes I think it distracts from the image's focus. And I have other photos that work better with this effect, perhaps in the next bit of photos I post.

I'm glad you like it, I tried to change my style a bit with that one. ^^

Thank you, that second one seems to be popular...

Thank you. I am always worried about getting that balance of too light/too dark, because the monitor downstairs I use is generally brighter than it should be, but I am usually alright at finding the balance. But I still always check with another computer after to make sure. And you can have it big (as big as I can without it looking awful...)...when I get on the downstairs computer that has the file (my sister is using it), I shall send it to you.

The Ferrari, and both pictures of the Ford GT-R pictures are amazing. My favorite is the last of the Ford GT-R set. 👍

Thank you very much, I appreciate it greatly.


-------------------------

I think I will update this soon...

Entering the Pits, because of some battle damage on the right side.

Returning to the track after an encounter with a tire barrier.

In the Garage. before the first race.

The first Porsche shot would look absolutely unreal printed on Kodak ENDURA Metallic Paper. If I was you, I’d seriously consider it. The image already has a really metallic feel, so I think it would probably work really well.

The other shots are nice as well but the first one’s processing is dramatic enough to take the focus from the rest of the set.
