Mazda RX-8 LM @ Suzuka
___________________________
Update: So here's the latest. I really do love this car, and it's back to the more softer, realistic look of the gallery. Fun race
Disposable Hero - Thanks for stopping by, glad you're enjoying it
Diabolical - Heh, trust me, if it were any normal shoot, I would've been easier on the contrast
. I really wanted the starker contrast (and too-much-green tint) only for the RS6 @ night stuff. It was a departure from the softer stuff, but it was only meant for the mood. I know what you're saying though Kenny - Glad you've enjoyed the last two sets. I really did want the RS6 to seem a lot different from the other sets I've got, so I'm glad it got the "distinctive" nod from you
Kenny12 - So, where's the newest GT-related update?
Venom - While I love the RS4 wheels, I wanted the car to look stock. Audi wheels look good on nearly all the models; I've got a few TT 3.2's, with RS4 wheels on one and RS6 on the other
.Enjoy

Once again...a set with one particular theme and colour scheme...brilliant. I've been looking through many GTP galleries and yours is one of the best so far.
#20 is awesome.

Nissan R33 Skyline GT-R LM @ Tsukuba Wet
___________________________
___________________________
Update: Long overdue, I have a few sets coming in the next couple days (including my PMC Silvia @ Laguna). I've decided to focus on Nissans for a week, since they really are a huge company in the game. I figured I'd get a Skyline out of the way first so it wouldn't be an issue later
. I do however have another one coming; a very old set from my first PMC entry, with a Nismo R32 battling it out with the Mine's R34. Anyways, had a lot of fun with this one, and the car is gorgeous on R34 rims.(EDIT) It seems these ones, more than any that have come before, benefit from full-size viewing. The thumbnails look awful, but for example, I'm particularly pleased with how clear the fourth vertical turned out when viewed properly. So don't be afraid to click
.Thanks goes out to all of you guys for your kind words; Suzuka was intimidating to head to, as I've never been able to get good shots there, but I'm glad they were well received. I hope this latest set is enjoyed just as much
Also, I'm going to be reorganizing the front page slightly, but I'll leave the details out until it happens. I'm confident it'll go over well when I finally get it done

I should check in here more often, I've missed so much!
The Alitalia Stratos looks right at home at Chamonix, and the RS6 is magic in black. Pity about its paper thin rims, it really ruins the look of your photos. I've found Suzuka to be easy to shoot any picture at providing the subject is in the light, however you've done one better and just found it easy to shoot any where. I suck at shooting in the shadows, tis why I never do it!
Lastly the R33, is more trademark SlipZtrEm work, and you're right the thumbnails don't do the full size justice! They're all so brilliant!

I never like the R33 all that much, but I'm likin' it better now.
The darkened head light's on some of 'em look cool.

Nissan 240SX @ Clubman
___________________________
___________________________
Update: An old drift machine that's stayed basically unaltered since GT1. On R1's and over 450hp, it certainly can do the grip thing... but not when the suspension and downforce are favouring the front
. I really hate the sky on Clubman, it ruined a good many pics I took, and there's more than a few here that I feel lose something because of the bad textures. For being a street car though, the 240 is detailed nicely, and it can look pretty real under the right settings Greycap - You know, that's the only R33 I have, unless you count the Nismo GT-R LM Road Model, and the 400R. That colour is far better imho than any of the regular R33 ones, and it shows up pretty often. Of course the R34 wheels look natural on it, but I'm tempted to find some Nismo Z wheels and see how they look. In that colour you really see the styling characteristics that carried over to the R34; before that shoot, I always got the feeling there was a huge jump between the two.
Sejtur - Thanks
. I didn't expect the clouds to look any good on Tsukuba Wet, since I've only done the Special Condition races on it and avoided it since, but I was pleasantly surprised when the pics were finished. Quite the opposite of my Clubman/SSR5 experiences 
.Alpha - You're too kind! I really did try to work the angles on the RS6 to minimize the appearance of paper rims, but I could only do so much :-/. I've warmed up to Suzuka, but I'm still not as brave as you when it comes to race tracks; I still haven't taken the plunge and shot at Fuji yet
. This set seems to have the same issue as the R33; the thumbnails again miss out on how nice the car looks in the shots (but gets the shoddy backgrounds about right).Spyker - As I said to Greycap, the pick of the R33 litter has to be the Limited Edition that I shot, imo. It just has something the rest of the (frankly boring-looking) R33 lineup is lacking. That shade of blue is just impossible to shot wrong
. Glad I'm warming you up to the R33's, though, as they used to be my least favourite of the new-gen Skylines too!

Very nice 240's.
I like their feel.
The 3rd and whole last row are my favs.

Spyker - Glad you like the last row, I find it the best one . I've since learned that I won't be visiting Clubman again for photos unless it's required by a competition; it offers absolutely nothing that SSR5 can't do.
Sejtur - I'm surprised at how well the 240's bumper works in that shot. Infact, I'm pretty much happy with all the shots showing off its rear. The sky was just awful; a few of the shots have an extra dose of blurring for the sky to try to mask the seperation that goes on. It really is a shame
.
Diabolical - That's actually my single favourite of the lot. Close second would be the pic to its right, the last shot of the series. I'm particularly proud of the reflection and sharpness of the car in that one, but I like the entire shot of the middle one (while the one on the right is ruined by the sky).
ekmatt9 - I wanted a nice picture of the city off in the distance, so I'm glad you liked it
I'm trying to figure out what tomorrow's (well, technically today's) update will be. Choices range from a Micra battling some sports cars, a bunch of Z's for the PMC, and a Skyline Coupe (er, Infiniti G35). There's also the S15 @ Laguna batch for last week's comp and a very old set of dueling Skylines, but those aren't here, at my girlfriend's computer. So they probably won't appear.
Keep the comments coming, I'll make my decision soon enough

very unique colour and framing ...
good to see some drift action with the 240
SSR5 or Clubman keep playing bad texture with me as well
specially the section you played drift
but at the extra section in SSR5
most people can take good pictures
however car colour choice may make a different

Wow, you've added quite a few since the last time I was here, SlipZtrEm. I just spent the last 15 minutes or so catching up and I love all of them; some more than others, but they're all awesome. But I especially like the Lancia Stratos Rally Car @ Chamonix II set. Absolutely amazing work. đź‘Ť
Me too. I avoid shadows like the plague!

Nissan Micra @ SSR5
___________________________
___________________________
Update: So after a successful night testing out the 240, I returned to the highways the next night in my Micra. Apparently some locals had heard (or heard of, if they were too far away
) of the 240 and thought I'd be there tonight, so some pretty serious machinery turned up. Among them, both an old and new example of a Camaro SS, an NSX-R, an FD, and a bugeye STi wagon. While the little Nissan was devoured on the straights (seeing as how it was at least 90hp down on everything there), it made up for it by clinging like the snail it looks like in the curves. The RX-7 was the peskiest of the lot.Franz - Yeah, the second half of SSR5 makes for lots of nice pictures. I tried to spread them out, but they always end up right around there
. As for car colour, my second time at SSR5 and it's with a Black car :-/. Last one (the Suzuki) I felt suited it, and the Micra wasn't too bad for being black. I do miss out on some reflections, though.Araba - Thanks, it was one of the cars I enjoyed taking pictures of almost as much as driving
Tabs - I still consider them to be some of my strongest, I really enjoyed the snow and the Stratos. I'm finding it hard to take pictures without feeling like I've done them before, especially in this set since I've been on the track before (and the pictures had a similar feeling, to boot). It definitely doesn't help that they were both dark-coloured, odd little hatches
.Enjoy everybody

Sweet update, 14 and 15 are my favorites.

Spyker - It wouldn't have anything to do with the car being up on it's side, would it? The Camaro cut me off, and I was carrying so much exit speed that I tried to take him on the outside. Forgot about the curbing and how a stiffly-sprung, short-wheelbase car behaves when it even sniffs one .
Lando - I'm glad you like it, and that's why I used the Micra. Nissan has the usual suspects (Skyline, Z, Silvia and all their families), but I don't think I've seen many shots of the Micra at all. I want to show people things they haven't seen, but judging by the amount of comments this update has received, maybe I should stick to the better-liked cars?

Infiniti G35 Coupe @ George V
___________________________
___________________________
Update: While I still think these rims are hideous, I wanted to experiment with the reflections they have at George V. Overall I'd say the set turned out good, but I'm going to keep looking for another chrome rim that I can actually stand to look at when it's sitting still. I suppose it does help that they were on such a nice-looking car, though. Anyways, 440 Charger, as this rim's biggest supporter, I've taken a page from your books, so I hope you enjoy this Americanized Skyline
.Lando - I suppose you're right. I think my problem is I update too often. Mind you, I'm still going to, simply to unload the batches of stuff I have on here right now. I've got a bunch of stuff planned for roughly the next week, but after that, I think I'll slow down a bit. I don't want Photomode to become more of a chore than fun. Thanks for the encouragement, though
Sejtur - Thank ya, though I do agree, it was odd to have that AI lineup. I had just decided to do a Family Cup race on 6 difficulty, since that usually gives AI that are easy enough to toy with for photos, yet not too easy as to be boring. Seeing the old Camaro driving side-by-side with a Micra was odd, I won't deny that.
Franz - I love the Echo hatch (ahem, Vitz), and I wouldn't mind seeing the Micra here either. I haven't heard any good news about it, though I do know Nissan's going to be bringing its cousin the Cube on over. I'd rather have that than the Scion xB, for what it's worth
