Only 1 time voting.
Good luck to all:)

EDIT - The next round will begin Friday...not Saturday as I mention earlier (I made bad counting). Sorry...
 
I haven't voted for anyones yet but I must say moglet's shots is one of the best I've seen on this site. Really impressive all the way around, you guys should all be proud!
 
Wow, some excellent entries! This is very very hard hehe. I liked A LOT the Motegui's M3, SLR at phototravel, and dark 350 Z. A special mention to Setjur's pic, I have neve expected a so good idea in a so poor scenary! Great! Impressive! Excellent!!!

I think Bram's entry would of looked better, if we could see more of the car.
 
**** I haven't read the rules be4 voting I'm srry !!!!

I have not vote for the 1st and my match

Can I tell you my vote here ?
Am I allowed to vote for myself ?

If I'm allowed keep this as my 2 missed vote :
Match one - Vote goes to BramTurismo
Match two - Vote goes to Snyp (if allowed)

Another question : Newbie4ever has voted for my match up instead of my pic (I guess)... Will this count for a vote for me ?
My guessing why he wanted to vote for me is because he voted for BramTurismo in the 1st match up... so I guess the other vote goes to me.
This goes for SLIZTREM too since Newbie4Ever has done the same mistake on his match.

Well mate, lets see:

I will count your vote to Bram Turismo

U cannot vote in yourself

The vote of Noobieforever doesn´t count. Try PM him, and ask him in which shot he wants to vote.
👍
 
Wow, Moglet!Are you sure you aren't using GTHD there? ;) Such an amazing job. You're gonna have to spill the beans on your new clean up method (I assume you used it for this one...?).
 
you would think this is the final round with the quality of entries.. hats off to all those in 2.0! 👍

I think he is using the clean up method he did on that Elise a while back, anyway thanks for the votes:

hey guys....yea my dumb mistake i voted for the wrong thing :indiff: i voted for the teams instead of the actual shot:ouch: i am really sorry for the inconveince and the confusion i may have caused :guilty: and btw i mean to vote for the aston martin pic:D sorry for the inconvience:(
 
I have talked with Noobie 4 ever and his votes are to the Aston Martin of Snyp, and the Skyline of Slipztrem. So in the end, these two votes will also count:tup:
 
Hmmm, I knew I shouldn't have tried for anything too different, and the votes show it. Then again... one of my alternate shots is actually the same car/corner combo as Jacoja's, just from the rear! So good thing that wasn't entered... ;).

Hats off to Jacoja, I already know I won't be catching up! Infact, all the rounds are a bit one-sided this time... oh well. I will vote when I get some more time to look at them all :cheers:
 
I found the duel between Jacoja and Slipz the hardest one; voted jacoja in the end.
 
phew! Atleast my and Beerzy didn't use the same car. Some absoulteley amazing shots here I have never seen so many good shots in one place. Stunning. But I ain't going to be catching up with Beerzy any time soon. I thought my shot would be good but I obviously did something wrong here where did I go wrong?
Good luck to everyone that includes you Beerzy, I will write more detail on each shot later.
 
Well speed, the borders and the blur aren't too good for 2.0 imo; and the taillights look very pixelated!
Not the best track to shoot at; not the best textured car to shoot.

Well that explains it. I feel so annoyed with myself now as just this week I have learnt a new way to clean and blur. I ruined for myself if only I could get through oh well I am going to hide in a deep black hole until this is finished because my skills are obviously far les superior than the rest of these guys....
 
Voted 👍


I was amazed by some of the entrants like LG, Funk, Jaco, Alex and Moglet 👍

Funki immediatly took my vote because of the corner blur, damn you Peter! You have got to teach me that! :lol: The SLR was also very clean 👍 If off course, I' not mistaken, LG has got a ton of experience as well, who knows which of those shots is who's 👍

Alex delivered a great shot as per usual, it's not a surprise he got a shot that clean and colourfull 👍 I especially loved the little lens flares on the exhaust tips 👍

Jaco pulled off a nice corner blur as well, if I'm not mistaken 👍 We all knew Jaco is able to deliver outstanding work, especially since his S2000 shot 👍

Moglet finally, amazed me the most. Whatever that new method is, I cannot believe how shiny he got all of those lines. Cheers Moglet 👍


I'm forced to conclude that if I won't be doing better next round, I'm screwed :grumpy: This shows just how much talent GTP has to offer 👍
 
Strange enough, I was about to use the same Skyline as you did Slip (different location though), but made the last minute decision to go with the Penzoil-mobil. Fantastic picture though Slipztrem 👍

I must say, there are some very awesome shots created by everyone... particularly; AlexWRC, LGForce, Moglet (:drool: :drool:), Slip, and Beerzy.

By the way NTX, you're doing a great job on the tourney so far. Keep it up 👍

Edit: And cheers for the comments everyone :)
 
WOW! This is one of the best polls I've ever seen on this site (apart from the quali poll). So many clean and mindblowing entries. I was most convinced by the slr, alexs entry and the 350Z from moglet against drift (which is the best match)!

Nice entry snyp! I really like the angle you have there.
Good luck to you all and most of all to snyp.

The voting seems to be a small problem in this round however... If we count newbies votes as well we should also consider the votes that other people like ES forgot to give in some matches (for fairness).

Not the best track to shoot at; not the best textured car to shoot.

What do the borders matter in 2.0?? I must say that speedsters border is one of the most innovative around here.
 
Just voted.

Jacoja, thanks for mentioning my shot, glad you liked it. 👍
Man, I never thought I'd get so many votes because I wasn't that happy with my shot.
Thank you for everyone who voted for it so far. :cheers:


Here's my go at every duel:

21st Century Cars - TVR&FF's shot is a good one, but the main reason it isn's working is because the wheels ain't moving and that ruins the whole effect which is a shame. Bram's shot, although very simple (almost minimalist) is highly effective with a sweeeet blur, powerful colours and a car with a very natural look, although not very well defined at some small areas.

Phototravel - Snyp's DB9 is a good choice, as well as those rims, but it doesn't seem to be more than a PMC shot really. Also, the angle and composition are a bit uncomfortable. Freddy's RUF shot has beautiful colours and although it seems to have the same cleanup technique he used on the qualifying NSX, it's not as effective on this one, probably due to the lack of work on the hood lines and that darker area around the license plate making the attention draw to the bright hood. Good blurring.

Lights Only - I'm guessing the SLR is Funkshen's shot (almost positive), since he's done this kind of shots before and the cleanup on the Elise is more like LG's style.
The SLR is awesome overall, the curved blur is flawless, the cleanup is great (apart from a few minor jaggies) and I like the tones. It got my vote, despite the fact that it doesn't relate to the theme as well as LG's Elise. It could be even better if the front wheel was a bit turned as if it was turning. LG's Elise is an excellent cleanup job. I really like the idea behind the shot and it's a great car choice. Only thing I don't find perfect with it is that some of the reflections seem a bit polygonal as opposed to smoother lines, and that line on the left of the tail lights could have benn worked a bit, but that's it. The most difficult one to choose out of all.

Late 90's Cars - Alex's shot is just brilliant. The use of GT4 blur fits it like a glove. The car's very clean and the light spots are on the right place and on the exact amount, not overdone. That rumble strip on the left is almost real, great definition and the tone really makes if feel as something solid. Exhaust pipes look great too, subtle but functional.
Minicooper's shot could have put a fight, but the car's just too blurry. Good blur on the road and original car choice, though.

Bling Bling - I'm not sure who's shot is who's on this one. 1st shot is really moody, great tones and really shows the bling on the rims.Great reflections and road blur. Not too sure about the blur on the background and the taxi tagging along... :)
The Nardo is a bold shot, because of the location. Really nice vivid colours, and a good angle of that car (we usually only see the front around here). Cleanup could be better, there's some jaggies and unclean parts. Also, the tail pipes could have been worked a bit, because they're just looking at you.

Skyline Club - Slipz's shot is really good, he got the shot looking as if in motion in a very subtle way, and it almost looks as the car has bodyroll.
Jaco's shot doesn't seem (as someone said before) to have curved blur whatsoever. It's a single radial zoom blur. Strangely enough, it works decently. But what really stands out in this shot is the amazing car cleanup with minimal reflections and extremely well placed light spots. All of the car's lines seem to have been reworked. Great tones and a moody image.

In The Tunnel - Drift's shot really has some nice colours, and I love the slightly desaturated look of the tunnel's 'outside'. Excellent blur in the tunnel. It would be awesome with the outside of the tunnel not blurred.
Mog's 350Z is really original for the presentation and work on the reflections (although like I already told him I'm not a huge fan of the glow-bright light spots but still I'd like to know how he does it :)), the car looks fairly realistic, extremely clean, almost flawless, great blur, although I'm not feeling much for the tarmac nearer the camera appearing to move slower. A shot that's almost B&W, with the right spots of colouring.

American Beauty - Speedster's shot got my vote.
 
@ Heineken... whehe... I meant Beerzy... the 1st shot is mine, with the cabbie in it. :P

Thanks for that nice comment on my pic, Alex. 👍

Anyways, this is a pretty hard poll, there's some matches I couldn't choose but I had to pick one. Here's who I chose and why:

21st CENTURY CARS - I chose Bram's shot. It has very nice colors. TVR's shadow under the car and blur are pretty weird. But good shot.

PHOTOTRAVEL - Voted for Freddy. Nice bright colors and a good executed blur make it great.

LIGHTS ONLY - This one was very hard, I almost couldn't choose. The SLR is the best cleaned-up SLR I've seen, and the blur is really nice, but the Lotus just has a x-factor. The clean-up is good too. Composition of both shots too. But then I looked at the theme and it's about lights. LGForce's focuses more on the lichts, so I chose his pic. Great job both of you. 👍

LATE 90´S CARS - Alex. Nice clean-up and the dodge spots look very very nice. Great shot.

BLING BLING - JGDA9RS. Obviously. :) Pretty nice shot.

SKYLINE CLUB - This one was really hard too. Slip's has a very nice composition and colors, but the clean-up on Jacoja's pic did it for me. So I voted for Jacoja. Good job Slip & Jacoja. :)

IN THE TUNNEL - I don't like the theme. Cars of GT4 don't look good in tunnels. But both did make em look good. Great job on that already. I voted for Moglet's, very nice reflections.

AMERICAN BEAUTY - Heine.... Beerzy :lol: The better shot, and there's way more time put into it too. Great job on the blur too. 👍



Oh and for my new avy: Franz was my inspiration. :dopey:

Thanks beerz! I wasn't that happy with my entry I must say. I didn't put much time into it. The difficult thing was to keep the colours on the hood without losing them by playing with the contrast. Next round I really have to get into it to get a round further. Your shot is also brilliant! 👍
 
Many thanks for the comments on the SLR!!, as most of you guessed it was my shot. And much appreciated for the votes coming in. It looks like its going to be a close one.

I found it difficult to get a convincing shot from a "lights" theme, and wasn't happy with the theme at all, as im sure LG wasn't either. I used my lights on the SLR as a focus point in the shot as the left headlights are pretty well centered. I dont think people took notice of that thought.

With that said, LG's shot suits the theme more anyway :lol: I knew he'd be tough and i like his shot alot!, with a fantastic clean-up job and realistic tones, and an original composition, and a more suited shot to the theme, its obvious why he's getting the votes. so ill be happy to go down by him, unwillingly :lol:

As for everyone else!! good luck with the competition. 👍 👍 Some fantastic shots up there.
