I really love how the contrast turned out - it looks similar to GT5P in a sense.

yes

 

[jinjinweiwei]

can we get scenery shots from Tourist Trophy as well? but without bike in the picture.

 

[David48]

Sure you can get them from tt. And I did not notice the hue thing. You CAN adjust hue and saturation, its just that I copied and pasted a lot from the old scenery comp with a few changes, and I forgot to change that. And it doesn't really matter how big the car is, it just can't be the main subject of the pic. It just should be prefferably small.

 

[austti94]

It's still a great picture though.

Final Entry
Done in TT (I will only use TT picture for this time only)

[Skyline49]

^Are we not forced to have a car (or bike) in the shot?

 

[jinjinweiwei]

no I dont think so.

 

[Skyline49]

From the suggestion topic:

lol. I kind of agree with Swiss. It could be a theme for another comp, but if I go through with this, a car will have to be present in the scenic picture.

He missed the Hue/Saturation thing too. If you absolutely had to, I'd let you enter this week without a car, but next time you'd be forced to have a car.

 

[David48]

I agree with skyline, This whole thing has been kind of rough because this is my first time hosting a comp. BTW, No bikes are allowed in the shot. Only cars and the scenery. I let you use tt only for the scenery. But after this week a car is mandatory, while the scenery being the main subject. Sorry for the mix up. I hope this clarifies everything.

I saw that in this week cars could be included or not, so I decided not to include one.

I really like the atmosphere of your shot CyborgGT, good one... and just like jgda9rs, i think i'll dust off the old ps2 and get an entry in here... for old times sake only though, not as a comeback or anything... just for fun.
