Just thought I'd breath some new life into my 2.0 failure :

​

Oh god.
Great HDR work at the Hangar, Also quite like the framing on the 2nd shot, it's wierd, but awesome.

Thank you Gtuned - It's funny you say that about the weird framing (assuming your talking about the composition of the car). I felt the same way when I took it, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt the shadow filled the rest of the picture nicely.

Wow! Beautiful shots ! All of them 👍
But the most favorites are 1st and 3rd

Thanks Shao! The fifth is my favorite, which is ironic considering not many people like it as much...

Loving #4 and #6. Car contrasts so well with the road.

Thank you SVX! The road is originally a dull grey, but I got inspired by a photo of the Zonda BeefyPeeg took in his gallery and changes the color levels around. I wanted it to have a dirty, industrial rust-like look to it.

Nice work! Can be tricky to have a photo travel update, but you pulled it off nicely 👍 Shot #3 is my favorite!

Thanks c_f! I wish PD would update the photo travel spots. Maybe they will in a future DLC...

Very cool, very cool.

Thanks sejtur! I appreciate the kind words.

Wow beautifully captured shots

Thank you matt!

Great shots with the 370Z 👍

 

[face_count]

Amazing pictures, i really like the realism in a lot of these pictures!!

and that Italia picture is really amazing!

 

[stig's helmet]

458 shot has something completely epic about it, I love the vintage feel it has. Feel free to give me feedback too. 👍

 

[DarkR]

The third pic is incredible, for a moment I thought that was taken with the PM3 or PM2 👍

 

[Grand Prix]

F40 shots are sweeeet! 👍 The vertical shot of La Source with the 787B and XJR-9 is epic. Love the last one of 787B too.

Also love the first 3 of the Z-car.

Very interesting editing on the 458 shot. 👍

 

[BeefyPeeg]

Excellent stuff! Love that Z!

 

[Primus Ortus]

Just thought I'd have some editing fun with a few old pictures. Oh, and click on them, if you know what's good for you.

Great shots with the 370Z 👍

Thanks Solo - I really like the looks of that car. It's like buttered popcorn though - it smells really good but never really tastes as good as it smells. For some reason, I can't get the 370 to drive as well as it looks.

Amazing pictures, i really like the realism in a lot of these pictures!!

and that Italia picture is really amazing!

Thank you! The Italia was merely a re-edit like the ones above. Although I liked the lighting in the original picture, I wasn't satisfied with the color.

Thanks! Ironic that a 458 could be vintage, isn't it!

The third pic is incredible, for a moment I thought that was taken with the PM3 or PM2 👍

Thanks DarkR! The 370 is a good looking car, that's for sure. Even my poor skills can't diminish it too much.

Thanks GP - That 787B/XJR-9 shot was my favorite of the group, although it didn't make it into the 2.0 poll for that week. Any criticisms about why you might think it didn't?

Excellent stuff! Love that Z!

Thanks BP - you should know that your Zonda shot at the Hanger was the inspiration for pictures 4 and 6. It took some time, though, trying to get the brackets right for the HDR, because the sun goes down too fast. I'm going back to the Hanger for some more shots of a different car, but it will have to wait a couple weeks (work's a bit busy).

I don't know why, but that first shot instantly reminded me of the film "Book Of Eli"
Great set

(blinks hard, and looks again) same reaction!

 

[DarkR]

All are impressive, but the second is definitely my favorite 👍

Great set

That's because it's supposed to! If you look really close you can see Denzel Washington in the driver's seat of the Enzo... Of course, he is wearing a helmet that looks conspicuously similar to the Stig's, but just imagine...

First two shots

What's wrong with the third photo?! Just kidding! Thanks Solo!

Great shots

Thanks Shaolin!

Thank you matt!

Thanks Nato.

All are impressive, but the second is definitely my favorite 👍

Thank you DarkR - that one was actually my very first HDRI - 6 brackets at -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, and 5. The original picture was tone mapped but had very little editing otherwise. I wanted to go back and play with the curves to see if I could get more out of it.

Asking Moi?

Hmmm. Maybe it was too tightly framed? Gotta be careful with the spacing on those verticals, even with verticals it is good to leave a bit of space in front of the cars, so they don't appear to be "escaping" the frame. At least from what I found. It could also have worked better as a landscape shot maybe, if you don't care about the clouds too much.

I thought it was really good otherwise, the mood, the editing, the sense of action, etc.


I like the re-edits of the latest three. 👍 Very moody to fit with the content.

 

[BkS]

That Tsukuba shot... You've now won "Landscape Photographer Of The Year!" I'm still drooling over it.

 

[Skython]

These don't look realistic at all. That is because they are better than reality! 👍 And I can honestly remember typing a comment for the 370Z set.

 

[Primus Ortus]

Well, after seeing Beefy Peeg's photo, I was inspired to go back to Toscana with my truck. I was going for a slightly different mood, and there's really no comparison anyway - BP's photo just plain kicks bootay, and my photos are mediocre at best. I tried HDRs but the sky/atmosphere in Toscana is difficult to work with. The last one is the only one I kept, and that's only after I spent a good 20 minutes fixing banding issues. Nevertheless, I will not be deterred! I still like them, and I hope you do too.

Thank you! You are right... it wasn't the clouds, though, it was the vertical road that I wanted in the shot. Back to the drawing boards...

Heh, thanks BkS - but I'm nowhere near any such title. Not even close. I'm glad you liked it though (I did too. )

These don't look realistic at all. That is because they are better than reality! 👍 And I can honestly remember typing a comment for the 370Z set.

Thanks Skython. Now that you mention it, I thought you did too. That's just weird.

 

[ShaolinMasta]

VERY beautiful shots !
1st is just amazing !

 

[Nato_777]

Fantastic shots, I love these wide angle distant shots - exactly what I was looking for in my recent SSC theme. Brilliant! 👍

 

[Solo]

Oh my Such amazing landscape shots!

 

[Boabdulrahman]

There is a cinematic feeling to them, just Amazing !!

Thank you Shao as always.

Thanks Nato - I was happy with them for the most part. I don't like the lighting as much as I would have liked, but I'll take it.

Oh my Such amazing landscape shots!

Thanks Solo!

Thank you Boab - that's what I was going for in a sense, so I guess I was successful at least in part.

gorgeous pics

Thank you matt!

Thanks bro.

Mother of god.

 

[Primus Ortus]

^^Thanks Bks!

I haven't had much of a chance to play/take pics on GT5 in a few weeks because of work, but I thought I'd re-edit a few old photos. Be sure to click on them:

Nice !
Beautiful shots and great editing 👍
