Krame - Glad you enjoy it :)

Franz - Oddly enough for the 5th shot, I used the same colour balance I used for the rest of the shots. I even double-checked, because I thought I had made a mistake. It's grown on me, but it's still not my favourite of the set. The 6th shot has those funny spots because they're sparks. The NSX driver got defensive ;).

Revolution - I'm really proud of how well #9 turned out, since usually text on the cars turns out like crap. #11 was my HM for this week's PMC; while I like the shot better, it didn't show enough of the car to show I had really crossed the line.

Empty_Space - Actually, I just noticed your LMR time and updated. So yes ;).

Everybody else - Thanks for the kind words, guys!

There will be another update, either later tonight or some time tomorrow, depending on how my day goes.
 
Toyota Supra 2.5 Twinturbo R @ Midfield

___________________________​

Update: Yes, I know the range of angles is pretty weak this time around. The car is quite the drifter, so that was my primary focus. However, I wanted to go with something a bit more mature looking; for example, the second shot was chosen because of the realism, and the entire batch actually was desaturated a bit, the opposite of what I normally do. It's nothing too dramatic I suppose, but I want to branch out a bit. So apologies if it's not well liked; this is me being experimental ;).

Kenny - I really wanted that one to be special, because I've nearly exhausted that angle on that part of the track, so I needed something different ;).

Es - Yes sir, captain! :D

The pics are very nice, but about the saturation, it's just in-between vivid and mature, and I don't really like that. Just do: or vivid, or mature. ;)
 
i really like this update man. i presonally like the saturation in these pics. it looks good. also for being "experimental" these pics are great. 👍
 
Bedheadben and Rohrl-fan - Thanks you guys! I will definitely get around to it, though I'm on the school's computer right now, so I'll try to later on when I'm back home :)

Revolution - I really like that shot too!

Appie - As a guest, just make sure you clean that up! :lol:

Integra - You really should. I thought it wouldn't make a very good drift car, and I spent next to no time setting it up, but it's incredibly predictable on R1's and with about 560hp. I stuck the slicks on because I wanted the bigger rims :).

Turbo - Please tell me it wasn't the same track too! Heh, I'll have to go check it out :)

Matt - Thanks for being honest. I didn't want to go overboard on the contrast because like I said, I wanted it to look realistic. It was more down to paying attention to the levels and the colour balance for this update :)

Sejtur - Probably because I started with the vivid saturation in game ;). I didn't want to desaturate too much, again, I was just going for a realistic tone this time, and I felt that going further would've taken away from that. However, I do like some of the more desaturated style shots, so I may take it further in my next update. It's a nice look :).

Perfect Balance - That was the intent, glad you enjoy it :).

Pain Killer - Thank you! I realize now though that tagging them "experimental" was pretty weak in the face of what others are experimenting with. These are positively normal compared to the around-the-turn blurs and moving Photo Travel shots ;).

Vonie - :lol:. That is exactly what I was trying to avoid! Normally I bump saturation up between 20 and 30. It's eye-catching, but sometimes it's just overpowering.
 
Looks like you had the time of your life with that Supra. ;)

Love the set, especially the verticals, but love the MR2 even more. So beautiful! 👍

___________________________​

Update: This has been a long time coming, and I've spent a fair amount of time cleaning the shots up (and even attempting the around-the-corner blur perfected by Franz and Rev). I decided to do my own personal set for my most prized GT4 car; the Pitwork Z. How much is that car worth to me? A year's tuition, after winning CampusCup with it. Obviously, 2P replays aren't saveable in GT4, so all of these shots are taken from a replay of a Time Trial I did the day before the contest. I don't have the exact time on hand, but it's a 1:14.6xx. That's an Arcade car on RSS tires, MT, TCS only, and no Quick-Tune. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

Diabolical - I've gone back to the Supra for fun lately, and I can't get over how much of a ball i is. But the MR2 set definitely has it trumped in variety, I'll give it that ;).
