Check out what's now on my wall;
I'm a bit annoyed about the 'STi' logo being cut off for no apparent reason though

How was the quality???

Not bad, I printed it in a low quality so I didn't use up too much ink and it has still come out OK. It pixelates when you enlarge it obviously, but that looks kinda cool up close.
I was thinking of doing another one above it at some point but it would have to be black and white since my colour ink is running out.
Nice idea. Where can I buy your poster?
You can't buy it, it's 12 sheets of A4 joined together to form one large poster. www.blockposters.com can do it for you for free online.
Yup, it does it all online for you. You upload your image, select how many sheets you want it to be and it gives you a PDF download of all of the sheets needed for printing. 👍
Here are some more shots, including one I printed off just now to fill the wall with my lightswitch on;

Here's my entry for the recent 'Unusual Rally' contest;
Audi TT @ Chamonix

I'm not so sure about the colours on the car on this one but overall I'm very pleased with it. I even gave the half opacity blur a go, but I mixed it with a full blur lower down in the image. 👍

That reflections are very spectacular. The cleaning is also amazing! I don't know what to say, seems I'm repeting the same words everytime, sorry haha.
I love the colors, yeah, the dark car works fine with the lighting though. What is the opacity blur btw? You've just owned my second WRC at Chamonix. Anyway I'm glad to see so good TT

Great shot Moglet 👍
The colors are lovely, as well as the simple angle, but there are some things which are not fully cleaned up: The headlights look strange and the outside lines of the headlights look jagged. The reflection on the left side of the grill looks not cleaned up, maybe you forgot it... And the line which goes all around the grill does not seem to be cleaned up and could use some dodge on the outside 👍 But all in all, it's a great picture Moglet, looks like Drift2XS gave you some inspiration on the blur 👍

Really nice, Moglet!
I agree with the jaggies around the front grill, but they're - at least for me - really hard to get down correctly, as I've experienced while working on the Abt TT for the NY vs Motegi comp.
Was it the 1st time you used that half opacity blur? Because it looks great!
It has a very smooth and natural look to it, while maintaining (sp?) a good sense of speed.
Also, the clean-up work on the reflections is top-notch, you captured the light very well. It's strong but keeping it natural at the same time. Good job.

Amuse S2000 GT1 - Special 500th post update!
When shooting this car I was aiming for a nice dark shot that made the car look mean, but as I was cruising around in it I wondered how it would look in a sunset scene.... and this is the result. I'm very very pleased with this shot as I used a different method of cleaning up on the car so it left most of the sky texture there and made it look less 'plastic'. However I feel that the background blur came out even better on this shot. Let me know what you think!

What can I say, I love it!! It sets quite a mood, rushing down the highway on a warm evening. Its like you can almost picture the sunset if you panned to the left. Awesome work!

This shot came out really well indeed Moglet 👍
The car is clean, the blur is close to perfect and the colors are lovely 👍 However, the car does not seem to be so clean everywere: The panel at the left of the car, near the end seems to be nearly untouched, the reflections on the front window could use some dodge and burn to accentuate the difference in both reflections 👍 I see you're also starting to use the lights using the dodge tool or the brush tool or whatever method you use. It looks very nice but try to dodge the lights a little out on the car in a way that you accentuate lines and reflections so the effect is even bigger 👍
As I said, the blur is close to perfect but on the top of the picture, the blur seems to disappear...Did you use a bigger canvas? When applying these blurs, I usually apply a real big canvas like 2000X1800 but I don't know if you used a canvas on this blur...
But all in all, this picture looks really sweet Moglet 👍

I'm not sure what you mean about the panel on the left, the car has been cleaned up wherever the sun hits it, so the entire left hand side has been adjusted. As has the window. You suggested trying to accentuate the lines however that was not my aim in this shot. I wanted it to look as if an actual sunset was reflecting off of it and so I left the join between the dark and the light slightly blurred, as it would be on a real car. 👍
The blur was applied with a massive canvas, larger than you suggested there infact. I think it appears to be 'falling off' near the top of the image because of the positioning of items in the actual image in the first place. It did originally fade out a lot up there but I then applied a motion blur to the entire area to get rid of it.
The little lights I did blur too, like you said to try, but they just seemed to darken whenever I did that so I left it.
I'll reply in a little more detail to everyone once I get back from Uni. 👍

Try to use the brush tool and set it to "lighten", that works well 👍

Sweet!
Very simple, but effective angle for what was intended.
I like how the sun hits the inner part of the rims, the S2000 logo, and the rubber of the rear tyre, really nice. 👍
The only thing in there that I find somewhat weird is the reflection of the sun on the driver's door window, since it only goes up to half of the window - I know it's GT-reflection, it just seems kind of unnatural to me.
But I liked it a lot, a bit different from your latest shots.
