Very nice start, really like that 908.

 

[ashes619]

Very nice pictures. Just letting you know that you really should put a couple of pictures per post instead of a picture for each post.

 

[R.S]

a couple of pictures per post instead of a picture for each pic.

ashes... yeah mate.

I really like your 908 too, I feel a little more capture of motion could push it even further.

The mercedes is great too although for me personally its too cool coloured, (thats just my taste though).

 

[ashes619]

a picture for each pic.

ashes... yeah mate.

My bad but you all know what I meant. I have changed my original post so it is correct.

 

[rpanico14]

Thanks for the feedback 👍

@ashes619 - I did mean to do that, but I'd already posted a few photos before I realised.

@R. S - I know what you mean, personally I feel it's too overexposed.

[ashes619]

I think I have seen them shots before
Stunning pictures there. There is a great deal of detail in all the shots. I just got to ask though. Are they edited?

 

[kaede]

The background is really cool. Is it smoke or rain?

 

[rpanico14]

@ashes619 - Thanks! They are lightly edited; the orginal photos were taken with cross-processing filter and +3 exposure, then in PS I just did a quick autocolour which increased the blue up a bit.

@kaede - Thank you, it's a little while since I did that photo, but from what I can remember the photo was taken with a Sepia filter in the rain with the brakes on. Then in PS I think I added a new filter (posssibly an orange diffuse glow, but not sure). Then I just used the smudge tool to exaggerate the spray.

A Great pic!!

 

[rpanico14]

@SMfan - thanks, I entered it into CCCL a few weeks ago. It didn't do quite as well in the poll as I hoped, I think maybe with other images around it, it can look a tad washed out. Which is why I like it, but doesn't help it to stand out!

 

[rpanico14]

These are the two photos which I narrowed it down to for my final entry for this weeks 2.0 comp (theme - All Europe, All the time!). In the end I went for the photo on the left.

Your Lexus set is ... I like all the shots so far, your vignetting might be a tad overdone in a couple but the pics are still great. Good start and good comp entries too:tup:

 

[rpanico14]

Cheers! Thanks for the feedback too, I'll take it on board. Funnily enough I spent the least time on the Lexus shots, and very little editing; probably a sign of a good photo.

 

[ceiling_fan]

My favorite is probably the LMP with the wild colors and background, though I also really liked the Swift CCCL entry 👍 There was pretty tough competition that week though, I was one vote away from making it a 4 way tiebreaker! The narrow angle really captured London perfectly.

 

[rpanico14]

I think the 908 gets a lot more attention as the background really lifts if off the page, particularly if you compare it to something like the Swift

 

[Jacob]

I love your Elise shots. But I like the one on the right more.

 

[rpanico14]

Thanks, I like it too but its a little bit patchy around the vignette around the rear wheels which sort of persuaded me to go with the other one.

I bought the Autobacs ARTA race car earlier and spent a little bit of time doing some edits with it earlier. The light spectrum photo takes a bit of inspiration from bmxmitch's RUF set, although I've had to downsize it a little as it was around 17000 pixels wide

Nice couple of pictures. I really like that second one 👍

 

[rpanico14]

Cheers, its my pick of the three too; washing out the colours on the trees made them look much better than they did originally.

 

[SMfan]

This is great man!! keep it up!

 

[rpanico14]

Thanks SMfan, I've tried my hand at doing a rain edit with my Scud:

[Grand Prix]

Great gallery! Love the Peugeot 908 and Merc CLK GTR shots. 👍

That rain shot is pretty cool too.

 

[rpanico14]

Thanks! I've updated the rain shot now by adding a trail from the rear tyre and some splashes to the road surface. Still a work in progress

 

[dennisp83]

Oh dear god, that rain shot is so freaking awesome 👍

 

[rpanico14]

Haha glad you like it, I'm not sure its quite perfect, but it looks nice
