RayquazART > Personal Update?

I applogise Ray. At first I looked at that preview and though "Oh my god that is hideous" but I was wrong as usual. That shot is really something quite special Ray. Is that a lens flare near the badge by chance? Really nice shot Ray. Keep it up.

 

[D-Mind]

Yeah, a small lens flare did the job for me.
I know it doesn't look too sweet in the preview, but hey enlarged i made it quite clean didn't i?
I've updated the preview so that it doesn't look too hideous to begin with, as i did a great amount of work into this shot.

Thats what I thought, must admit it looks very clean enlarged all you have to do is make sure everyone enlarges it or they will think it is rubbish because it certainly isn't.

 

[Vince247]

It certainly does look very clean.

some parts of the car look a bit too blurry, but no big deal. man, the car looks like a snake ! and the zoom blur gives it that mean look to it too.

 

[franz]

Interesting shot indeed
never seen radial blur this close to the road 👍

 

[D-Mind]

Thanks everybody so far 👍

 

[D-Mind]

Sorry for the DP.

The work you did on the 300C is pretty cool, by making the background more diffuse like that you concentrate the viewer's attention more on the car. Great work. And I just love that border, do you remember what tool you used for making those streaks?

The 307 looks pretty good too, although a bit muddy at places. But it's very clean and I like the tones. The blur is pretty good, I only think you should've erased the blur from that part under the car leaving it totally black, I think it would look even better. 👍

 

[D-Mind]

On your comment on my 300; this is a plugin border in Paint Shop Pro 9.
On your comment on my 307; maybe you're right, but the place underneath the car is black, because the car is pitching upwards, and so is the shadow.

Another update on this location; i love it for it's reflections and colors!
Cleanup was definatly needed but i don't mind, i love this car!​

 

[NTX]

Great!!!!!!!!!! Hot as hell, love the shot Ray!!! U really have given the "mean look" to the Civic. The Red colour its outsanding, very vivid and looks quite real. Love the detail of dirt under the car, very nice touch!!!
Well done once again Ray "man"👍

 

[Vince247]

nice one ray!
Great atmosphere in it.👍

 

[Beerz]

I like the smooth look on that civic, you caught a great angle on the car. It's hard to believe that design is about 15 years old. It's just a classic.

Good tones too, they add to the smooth look of the image.

 

[jgda9rs]

i like it only thing i can say about it is, the right side of the car looks blurry,
or did u mean it to be like that? you should have used the dodge tool for the lines on the hood and the door, but still it looks pretty good. did u apply motion blur to the tire? it looks like it's actually spinning! and i agree with what beerzgood said. that car, just like my uncle said when he bought it when it first came out, will be a classic, same with the B16 engine it came out with. pretty good high end power. anyways, i think that's great what you did with this update. the tone, etc. i'm out of words really all i can say is keep up the great work!

 

[D-Mind]

Thanks for the comments; jgda, the side of the car was meant to be blurry

 

[jgda9rs]

well come to think of it, it actually fits in with the lighting too

 

[Beerz]

It's like a 1.4 aperture was used, focusing on the headlight. 👍

 

[D-Mind]

You got that right beerz!

 

[Speedster502]

Really nice shot Ray looks brill. Don't know why but I am loving that tyre it is so clean usually tyres are all jaggy and horrible but this one is smooth just a question I am hoping that they are Racing tyres or other wise there is no tread? Brill shot again Ray.

 

[D-Mind]

Yeah, Super Soft Racing Tires 👍

 

[jeremyray]

Good job Ray for that Civic, where did u take that picture? Photo travel?

 

[D-Mind]

Yeah, Sagano

 

[freddy86]

Very clean shot ray! 👍

 

[Pebb]

Nice angle and lighting.

 

[Tangled Web]

You are trying some interesting stuff here Ray, can't say I like all of it but it is always good to try new techniques and styles.
Really like your recent work, great job on speedsters 300C. Made a good shot even better. I am also liking your photo travel shots, good use of blur and nice clean up.
Your competitions entries keep getting better. I loved your Tournament entry, good luck for the next round and keep up the good work. 👍

WOW good job Ray ! the car look so fast, and i like the glare that you put on the windshield

 

[freddy86]

Nice shot ray! 👍 The only remark is that the blur at the bottom is a little of the edge. You should try two or three motion blurs for this one.
The tones and colours are particularly nice in this one.

Cheers
