Mogshots [Updated 2/07 - Last ever shot]

[Tangled Web]

As always, producing quality work.
I really like what you have been doing with your lighting, especially at Seattle. The Golf and Buick on page 32 look sweet, amazing colours and especially the lighting.
The awesome simplicity of the Denso Supra, very clean and nice colour and light balance.
Congrats on your Gallery birthday, you celebrated it will an superb shot. Great job on the clean up and I love the colour and great choice on the rims. The only thing I would say is that some of the shine spots look out of place, no biggie.

I really like the look of the Isuzu of you Multi shot update, great work on the car. The shot has that old feel to it which you are good at achieving. The Cuda in also an interesting one, the reflection looks good. Did you use a filter on it?

Amazing work on this recent shot, the sky looks real. Very well done.
I do agree with franz, the distant crappy texture mountain could use some more blurring. No big deal though.
How did you get the sky looking like that? Was it just use of the burn tool.

Sorry that my comment isn't more detailed, I am unwell so I try to not spend much time on the computer. I'll have to try and keep up with your superb work, keep it up. 👍

Also, loved your Tourney Isuzu shot.

 

[SimmiS]

Nice! The sky is so realistic, i love that shot! which track is that? its awesome!

 

[Moglet]

Your DB look better than mine...good work on the storm update too..👍

Thanks, LG.

You went to see your graphics exhibition, but wait I thought you were still at university?

Anyway that is a sweet update Moglet.

I am, I have just finished my BA Hons Degree and so I was exhibiting my final work. 👍

so damn niiiice!!!!!!!!!!! the clouds look really scary though

Thanks jgda, I wasn't really aiming for them to look scary but I guess they do a little!

Yeah I can see some green deviation in the left, where clouds highlights are dodged. It's a pointless detail because the weather conversion is very spectacular and interesing. Now you're dropping new ambients on the original GT pics, what is always nice to see to forget the standard look of them. Amazing job Mog!

Yeah, there are a lot of dodgy colours in the sky if you look carefully at it! I'm getting really interested in changing the weather and manipulating photos even further from GT4 now.

Excellent manipulation of the cloud and it looks very real to me
the shiny mercedes is really something in this picture
... maybe a new generation 1000 miles rally
there are two things I come up that you may consider for improvement
- the skyline of the villege could be a bit more blurry to improve DOV
- I like the spectators part, but adding some camera flashes would be really neat
anyhow you did a great job 👍 👍

The camera flashes idea is great, I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future!

Awesome work, Mog.

I really don't have a clue on how you guys do stuff like this, I wouldn't know where to begin...

I love the composition with that crane on the right, reaching for the sky.
Clouds are very realistic imo, GTR's highlights look awesome, soft look does the trick. (I also have a CLK-GTR with soft look on display on my gallery now, check it out if you can).

I do agree with franz about the line on the top of the hill where it meets the sky not being a bit more blurred, but it's just a detail. Very nice and original shot!

Thanks beerzgood, the soft look was achieved using a new method that I've fallen in love with, I think I need to stop using it a bit now.

Very cool Mog!! Loving it.

Id also like to mention your Isuzu shot in the Tournament Poll was sensational, it sits as my desktop at the moment. Well done 👍

Cool! The Isuzu shot looked a little dissapointing to me in it's preview form, it really did need to be viewed in high resolution to achieve the full effect, so thankyou for taking the time to view it as it was intended.

Your comment is more than detailed enough TW, I always appreciate your input and just wish I had the time to comment on your gallery more! The old look was achieved mainly by desaturating the image and adding a bit more noise than usual.

Nice! The sky is so realistic, i love that shot! which track is that? its awesome!

This was taken at Citta Di Aria 👍

 

[Barracuda]

Love the last update. It has a lot of.. emotion, if you could call it that

 

[AlexTB]

You can't really compliment your shots (you can't really call them shots, more of an art form), as they're so good you spend most of the time looking at them in awe! They are so brillint! How do you get them so good, is it photoshop, or just time, patience and skill?

Excelent shots Mog!! U really do your best in the comps, and the result is great (too bad U lost in the Tourney, still your shot was a very hard one to beat). I like specially the 1st shot, kinda simple, but very effective. U did also a great work on the Zonda, U show a good way to follow the theme. The Lancer shot is "mean" as hell, it was a very serious shot for Franz to beat.
The Alfa and the Pescarolo are also top quality pics, U capture great moments!!
BTW your previous update is really great, U did a very good job on those stormy clouds, looks very realistic, well done

[SimmiS]

whoah nice work, your still fighting at the top of NC i see! but with the evo, i dont undrstand! i prefer'd it to the elise (no bad feelings to franz ) so full of action and speed, perhaps it was the sheer texture of his work that knocked you down and out, well congrats on your new update, superquality as always! 👍

 

[franz]

You did an amazing job to all of them!! Pescarolo got some interesting perspective, very different from other CCCL entries. Anyhow, it sucks to see you leaving the tournament this early, like alexwrc said it was all about emotional factor, and I still think you did real good to put RED into angry mode, which is something I should have considered. BTW I really like the natural soft texture on the EVO. The reflection and headlights are very realistic.

 

[Mad.Dog]

Cool gallery Moglet
Really like the last Evo.

 

[Moglet]

Quick update, I completely buggered myself up when attempting to enter the latest 2.0 contest by not reading the rules correctly! So I made this shot before realising it had to be on real tracks. Stupid me. So I thought I might aswell post it here instead;

[jgda9rs]

man those are so awesome!!!! you got the lighting effects down perfectly. very impressive everytime. keep it up mate!

 

[Beerz]

I don't know about this one, Mog. The car seems somewhat 'muddy' or something, as if its lines weren't well defined.

But the work with the light, specially on the windshield and the hood is fabulous.!👍

 

[Bram Turismo]

Everything looks very good to me, the colours are magnificent 👍

Only things though, the body and door lines could use some more attention, the door lines and the lines surrounding the headlights may have a little more dodge to show those lights come up when activated 👍 The rims also look bludgy or something, but apart from that, this is one hell of an update

 

[Moglet]

I don't know about this one, Mog. The car seems somewhat 'muddy' or something, as if its lines weren't well defined.

That's because I did very minimal editing to the front, and I didn't even touch the bumper! I'm too lazy for that.

Thanks for your feedback Bram, you're right in saying that the lines are weird because I haven't edited them at all. The wheels were also static and I had to try and make them look as if they were moving, but it was more difficult than I'd imagined.

 

[alexwrc]

In you line, great work. The rim is dark in my screen so I can't see if it's "static" or not. The idea is nicely executed, performing that idea of touge in GT4. Of course, the weather... cloudy in Japan 👍

Salu2.alexwrc

 

[franz]

It does look a bit like downhill touge drift. However the picture is a bit cartoonish, which reminds me Takumi more than Drift King himself But the shot looks great 👍

 

[Redgodzila]

Moglet. I just went through your entire gallery and obviously every picture is stunning. I've seen most of your pictures in the past, up to page 26. THe rest are new to me....... C'mon man, update your ps.com gallery! It's been bad for my health to not see an update since March !
The amatuers on ps.com are getting cocky, Moglet. I think everyone would love you to put them in their place. Your photos are too good to ignore 👍

Hey, nice to see you around here Redgodzilla! 👍
I completely forgot about my ps.com gallery actually, I'll be sure to update it this evening!

For now though, here's something totally new;

Golf R32 @ Infineon Raceway

This was a reject shot from CCCL Week 19, so I decided to do a quick bit of editing on it. The car cleanup is very scruffy and I'm not that pleased with it but the idea of this photo was to concentrate on composition and trying to show a bit of action instead of just the usual straightline blur!

love this pic! i can hardly guess where it's at - looks like it could be apricot hill?

Like the golf too, the effect around it is excellent

 

[Bram Turismo]

I like it very much 👍

Colour are fine, especially those on the road 👍 And the cleaning is awesome. Like the blur as well, I might to give this partial or something blur a try once, though it's not really my style...The only thing would be that the black around the headlights looks a bit rough and edgy to me, but headlights in GT4 are a PITA so...


Great job!

 

[Pebb]

I am really loving the Golf R32 Moglet.

 

[Redgodzila]

The road surface looks incredible in your latest update, Moglet. Have to say though that I'm not a fan of the vignetting, but that is a personal preference. All in all, a typically beautiful Moglet photo.👍

 

[Moglet]

Well, I can't type much as I've got to get to bed early for work tomorrow, so here is a simple update;

[Beerz]

Wow, that Golf looks A LOT better than mine...

Perfect job on the tarmac, looks very fine grain, and the area where you 'stopped' the blur is perfectly chosen, making it seamless. 👍
Car's well cleaned but looks a bit 'flat'. Not actually flat, but liveless. As if you didn't wash it, about there. Can't find the right word...

On the Skyline, not wanting to seem negative, but 1st thing that I noticed was that the blur's a bit off way down there. On the nearer area is perfect.
It's weird, because it's a straight, so it should work well to the infinity...
Good call on the trees way ahead, making them 'normal'. 👍

Car looks damn sweet, with those well drawn reflections, and you haven't lost the color hue of the paint at all, it's all there.
Very simple but effective, Mog. 👍

 

[Pebb]

Another fabulous update as always Moglet, anyway I am looking forward to seeing your next update.

 

[jgda9rs]

i agree with beerz on the golf. but i do like how it looks like it's painted flat black, or is entirely made in FRP material all the way! the blur on the ground is awesome too. but your nissan update just blows me away! it's something i've been practicing lately with the zoom blur. but i swear that pic would look good on a brochure or a racing game ad. bring some more !!

 

[alexwrc]

Fantastic R32. The black painting seems matte due the very smooth reflections, that's cool. I was amazed with the headlights and brilliant logos!

The Skyline is good too. I just think the blurred noise is a bit "compressed" near the vanishing point.

'Controlled Chaos'
Sorry I don't have the time to check out your galleries yet or reply yet guys, I've been busy at work recently! Here's another 'quick' update which is basically my Drift contest entry reworked to give it a unique look;

Another great update, however it is not your usual classy shots style, but it do.
