Well, a greenish tint is dandy, I admit. But I find the most problems in the pic itself. What are you trying to illustrate in the pic? It seems like the picture is towards a sense of speed. I dunno, I'm not a pro at Photography..
But the way you blurred out the grandstand and in the distance.. I like that.
I don't really know what I was trying to do either, I just wanted to emphasize the High Speed Ring logo, that's why I blurred out the background.
But I kinda have to agree with Technicolors.
I don't know what you've tried to achieved with the photo itself nor with your editing.
This green tinge just seems plain ugly (sorry, but I really cannot find another word for that)
First of all let me say that I don't like either of the photos, I took a photo I didn't like and experimented with it.
To the Corvette Photo itself:
You've definetly tried to achieve a sense of speed in there, which is good!
But for that you either should use Panning Mode 1, but also need to understand the basics of focus points, or you use the Panning Mode 3, set the Shutter speed at 1/60 or 1/125 and it works out quite well, when the focus is set correctly.
You see my point here, the only real problem about the whole picture is the completly wrong focus point. The Background/Track is way to sharp and the car is too blurry. To achive a nice sense of speed you want the complete opposite of it, meaning a sharp car (with fast moving wheels) and a speed - ish/moving background. You need to get the "middle" of the camera onto the car and press Square to set the focus onto the car. If you done that, and make a photo with the shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/250 you will immediatly recognise the difference.
I know how to take a good picture in GT5, I know how to focus and such, I'm a total moron.
And like I said before, it was experimental. In the edit I blurred out the background to draw attention to something else.
Edit picture:
It just looks awful. I really don't know what you tried to achieve there, but I guess it wasn't anything good.
Editing is actually there to remove the flaws of the game itself. Meaning to brighten the pictures up, add more contrast to them and just give them a more realistic tone.
If you really don't understand anything from a proper editing I could refer to some tutorials here in the forum or even recommend some editing techniques on YouTube explained by photographers. These are very easy to learn techniques to really make something out of your photos.
Yet again, it was an experiment. And I sort of disagree with you on the editing part, yes, you edit the photos to make them more realistic, but you also edit them to make them more pleasing to the eye. And I know how to edit photos properly.
But a rule you can always keep in mind is that anything starts with a good base - meaning a good picture. If you don't got these techniques (there is a tutorial in this forum) down, you won't be able to do proper photos. And without these you won't even have to bother editing them.
I know that, this whole thing was just an experiment. I took a bad picture and made it different.
I hope this doesn't sound all harsh and cocky to you, but I just try to help people, that still have problems with the Photomode.
Have a nice day and still keep trying!
I don't necessarily have problems with Photomode itself, I just have trouble figuring out what needs to be done to the pictures to make them better. That's all.
Now let me ask you a question, which picture from the miscellaneous ones do you think is best, and which on from the ZR1 photos do you think is best?
I wanted to do something special for my 1,000th post, so I thought a gallery would be a good idea. Comments and advice are welcome. 👍
