Show Your Drift Cars

Got a chance to catch up on some GT5 time and play with 4 of my favourite drift cars in the current seasonal

I've noticed photobucket is a little glitchy at loading photos too. I find if you edit photos in photobucket, it takes a bit of time (a few hours to half a day) for the edits to show up on GTP. But like you said, they show up eventually.

One solution I've used when I've got frustrated is to edit the photos in photobucket, save them to my comp, re-upload them to Flickr, and the. Post on GTP.

Funny, I've never had that problem. Or have I? I dont know, I can always see my edits the second I save them.

I can see them on photobucket as soon as I save them, but the edits don't show up on GTP until a few hours later.

I've found its worse the heavier the editing is. If its just colour correction and basic adjustments, it shows up instantly. But if there is lots of filters and/or overlays, it tends to take much longer.

Also, it I post a large set, sometimes half the edits show up while the other half don't.

I created this one just for Maveric;

Nice. The Golf R is my favourite AWD drifter.

Also, I will add some pics of an epic tandem session I had with bmx-guy.

Welcome to GTP and to the Drift Forums!

If I may, here's a few pointers on taking pics in GT5:

- Try taking your photos using panning mode 3, and lower your shutter speed to 60, or 125. Remember to focus (square button) somewhere on the car. This will give your shots a sense of movement, action, and speed. Right now, all your shots look very still, as if the car is just parked on the road.

- When taking a picture of a car drifting, try to take photos when your front wheels have some steering angle (like your first pic). Straight front tires just ruins a drift photo imo.

Hope that helps

Hey! Thank you for the greetings!

Sure I'll take that into account while snapping pics from now on. Oh the pics showing the GT86 not counter-steering are actually on purpose, I thought It would be more impressive to show drifts with no counter-steer as it's supposed to be faster. Though I agree with you that if the car has some steering angle it looks way cooler. Thank you for the tips!

TheRollingGuy...do you only drive 86s? I love the TXR series, still play it from time to time. I wish they would make a new one, with the FULL map, and sell it in North America.

Good advice:tup:

Would be nice if the shutter speed in GT5 went slower than 1/60th for panning shots though. Down to 1 second (as per photo travel) would be really nice but even being able to get to 1/4 would easily cover what a photographer with a half-decent panning technique might be more inclined to use - 1/60th could be considered a bit easy and a bit pointless if there's not much streaking going on in the background. Panning is all about trying to push the shutter speed as low as you can get away with. IMHO of course :sly:

And since panning technique in GT5 is as simple as setting it to panning mode 3 and locking focus on the thing you want to track we could all shoot like super heroes at really long shutter speeds

That said even 1 second isn't enough for some shots. Sorry if I've posted this one before but I wanted the red trams streaking all the way from the edge of the frame into the distance but couldn't get a long enough shutter speed :grumpy:
