Update Info: For those that don't know, Bryan won GT Academy's inaugural US competition. I've had the pleasure of racing with Cuda occasionally for over 10 years now, in the GT world anyways (and some PC sims). This was back when OLR consisted of us all time-trialing, so it's great to finally race against long-time members in real time in the game that brought us all together. As you can imagine, Bryan's schedule is hectic now, but he managed to fit a few of us in for some fun, casual races last week. Despite our mild prodding, he hasn't spilled any info on what awaits him, but I'm not alone in saying we all can't wait to find out. Anywho, this is part one of an update featuring images from one of the races that evening. All HDR images, just introducing the competitors. Enjoy!
Nato_777 - Thanks, it's a lot of fun to type out a story in addition to pictures, so the next update will definitely follow that format
FishyJuice - The colour's Kenya Orange, found only on the '70 Galant. It's one of my favourite rides from GT4, so I've had the chip for quite some time after hunting it down 👍
Moglet - Nah, image chopping only takes a few minutes, so it's no problem. Thank you very much - they definitely were taken with intentions of having text on them, so I was worried they'd be sort of boring on their own!
C-ZETA - Nope, not really! A few of us have been doing it since GT4!
TVR - Somehow, I knew it'd be your favourite
.
ashes619 - And thank
you, as always
725 - Thanks, I knew that first image had to be the one large one as soon as I started editing. Yeah, I know what you mean about the adjustment period, but now that you're past it... I'm holding you to the gallery bit
NBDESIGNZ - Thanks!
Primus Ortus - ...who says I'm not already planning that?
20832 - I'll agree on that first bit, absolutely, but the setting definitely helps them, no? Also, I like the username, clever 👍
ceiling_fan - None this time, nope! And yes, PD should be pretty proud... I mean, you did send them the link to your gallery, right?
zambuca - Do it! Half the fun I get is coming up with ideas on how to make each update unique from the last, not just in regards to subject matter, but the presentation. Sometimes it doesn't always come together, but it's worth it for those really well-received themes (like the GT1 Memorial, for example).
Cano - Good eye, sir. You can click the little ones to blow them up, but yes, some were taken in Mode 1, all for a magazine layout in mind. The end use of the images really can change what sort of shot you hunt for, I've found, and there's no way most of the images I take with those layouts in mind would ever be used effectively for, say, the competitions. Other than the obvious "cover story" kind of shots. Glad to hear from you
Brilliant update though, the article looks really professional and the photos are nice and subtle. They've clearly been taken for a purpose and they fit the bill perfectly.
Stunning work. This must of taken you a while to make.
