Portfolio of CCShaft7- A kind of 2.01 update (Arty Shots) 05/03

[CCShaft7]

Like those Infinity shots! Very interesting of color and location combination! Like the reflections!

Aha! Finally someone who shows a little love for the Infiniti Great shots! And the F10 set is cool! I like the 'aggresive' contrast 👍

Cheers guys 👍 I kinda got a bit of love for the Infiniti the more I got to know it ( ... that sounds wierd when I read it back lol ) though the lack of 'panels' and a glass roof make it awkward to photograph.

F1 shots are amazing!

Great shots. You done well with the F1.

Thanks a lot The F10 shots went through a heavy edit to get the result I wanted, was looking for something you might see hanging on the wall of a trendy bar or night-club.... or my New York loft apartment ... we can all dream can't we?

Love the Infinity and F1 photos. Your last F1 photo before the tryptychs is my favorite of the F1s. I was trying to do some tryptychs in Gymp the other night and couldn't get it to work right. Time to actually read their tutorial... ugh. (Unless, of course, you have some quick pointers... )

Edit - I read the info on your tryptychs thread, and the tryptychs were done in PS, which I don't have... There seems to be some significant differences in Gimp v. PS that I'll have to wrap my head around.

Glad you like the 'tryptychs' Primus Not overly familiar witth Gimp but I hear its quite an uder-rated piece of editing software and I think these are quite achievable with it. If Gimp lacks the use of layers then I can see how you may struggle with that.

I'm liking the G37 Coupe Concept, though I remember seeing the grille in my garage and noticing the detail wasn't at premium level. The shots are well done, you are the only person I see on GTP regularly using 1:1 aspect ratio and somehow you pull it off The F10 close ups are looking good too 👍

High praise indeed thank you c_f. I like the old Polaroid feel with the 1:1 format and I had an old Kodak as a kid and this was all it could take shots in. Not used often on here so I thought I'd make the most of it.

Just a short update with my current crop of Comp entries and others that didn't quite get chosen by me.

This weeks PMC "close-ups" entry is probably my least favourite to make the poll and although I couldn't decide between red, blue and green ( went BLUE ) I did get to make a nice 'tryptych' from the results .

Pkotoshop/photomode entry

From the original....

....to this ( not entirely happy so might stil change it, not sure )

My CCCL entry

a debatable choice due to the lack of easliy identifiable landmarks but was since approved by the moderator.... but just in case I had this one in reserve although I don't think it has quite the same impact IMO... make your own mind up I guess.

The 2.0 comp entry was going to be from a choice of B/W or Selective colour and I first went with a B/W shot...

...which I was going to change to this one....

....before changing over to Selective colour and finally settling on this one ( and my current fave ).

C & C more than welcome 👍
Catch you soon ​

I love the second Merc photo, much better than the first one, in my opinion . The 908 looks really nice too!

This is a sneak peak into what I'm trying next... got the taste for this "selective colour" thing so I thought I'd try some more Photoshop techniques... this example below shows a much cleaner result IMO than the in-game filter, this avoids those incidental colour reflections on the glass and shiny surfaces.... also this image background is not quite B/W with the colours muted down to a minimum without going completely monochrome....

​

.....these are a bit time and labour intensive so I'll probably only drop these in from time to time.

Very nice! 👍 I also enjoyed editing for the selective colour theme and may add a few to my own gallery.

 

[Primus Ortus]

Beautiful shots! I like the red/blue/green grill tryptich alot. I know you went with the selective colour entry over the black and which (which I really like), but my favorite of the three was the first. Good stuff.

Many many thanks guys
I loved the B/W entry too but I had a lot more fun ( and a lot more work ) producing the selective colour so taking my chances with that one.

Finishing off what I started with the GT-R ( who knows which one out of the dozens ?? ) that I decided to give the full CC treatment . No reason for doing this other than just for a bit of fun and enjoyment.

To everyone
Thank you so much for all the comments, 👍 really makes it all worth the effort.

[bmxmitch]

".....what I've seen so far is extremely impressive "

same goes for your shots.

It shouldn't take to long till you win a competition, with that skilled pictures!👍


ninja edit: woooops, totally forgot your PMC win last week! haha, sorry

second ninja edit: I feel like an idiot right now. You pulled so much in the last weeks, how the hell could I forget those!? Your green pick-up was outstandin:tup:

 

[uMadson?]

Aye, I'm a Schumi fan when I was a kid but yeah, Ayrton Senna was a true legend. I also like the way you pay attention to the NSX's history with that tribute.
