I really like the toning in these, very nice. And the progression of cold tones to warmer at the end. My favs are shot 1 and last. Top and Tail 👍

 

[leeislee]

Brilliant set showcasing a great car! top work as usual 👍

 

[lilmann73]

Woah. Wonderful set! My favorites are two and five. Brilliant tonal work. 👍

 

[Y00PAY]

Awesome shots

 

[Qnrad]

Brilliant stuff, SMfan 👍 Nice angles, tones, and color temperature on #7 & #8 is great

 

[Fazerfan]

Very nice composition and lightning on the latest set!

 

[ShaolinMasta]

What can I say ? Just WW !!!
Fantastic work Alex ! Love them all

Your work is still just as amazing as ever.. I was in silence when looking through, it's just that good! I was in silence, until I needed to belch, but still. The concept of the matter remains. Well done on the last few sets. Though, I did feel that with the 86 GT at Deep Forest the massive lighting didn't blend with the image, more that it distracted my eye, but still. But that mattered not, because it was still excellent.

Me mucho gusta, Alex! 👍
The second to last shot has that summer feel!

Pretty much, what I was going for.

Awesomeness once again! Love shots #2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. 👍

Thx!

Great stuff! These photos kind of show a cold day turning into a warm one!

Funny thing is I only noticed it right before posting the set, thx.

Absolutely amazing stuff, SMfan. At first, I thought that I would be able to pick a few favourites, but... No way! Each one of these pictures is breathtaking! 👍

Whoa, thanks, Nenad.👍

It fells great to get such a comment from not just the photographer who took those shots, but also a guy who is outstanding with editing. Thank you!

I think, the lighting in those shots was more a distraction and cover for the awful pixelated backgrounds, but I get what you're saying.
Thanks for such a big detailed comment!

So... I don't exactly have a lot of time to play GT5, and sometimes when I do, I don't have any inspiration... But there was this one song that gave me a distinct image and feel, so I tried to make this image come to (well not exactly to life, but) photography.

And this one photo is not it. There will be a full set, but since I have no idea when, here's a preview for y'all:



And the song:

Radioactive, radioactive... All I'm thinking. Anyway, I'm certainly looking forward to the set. 👍 But this song certainly isn't my taste...

I expected you to say that. Well, not the radiaoactive thing (you mean the Imagine Dragons song right?), but that CES isn't exactly your thing.
And I feel like a couple of pics from the set might actually go well with the song you mentioned, but not this one, IMO.

How did you know I wouldn't like it? And yes, I meant the Imagine Dragons one.

I unno, I was like "Oh GTracer just left a comment, uh, he probably doesn't like the song". This thought just kinda appeared outta nowhere.

I always leave a comment when a new update is posted...well, most of the time. And usually I love it. As I do now (except the song )

 

[AerodyManiac]

Nice preview. The bold green looks great, and nice use of partial colouring. 👍

 

[jus1029]

Can't wait! Or better yet, take your time, Alex.

 

[Watchman]

Judging by that preview, the next set is going to be amazing. 👍

 

[el fayce]

It's a quality edited picture
And I wonder how long did it take you to get that preview ready

 

[ShaolinMasta]

if it's only preview...

 

[SMfan]

Thanks, that's basically the exact representation of the feel that the song gave me.

Can't wait! Or better yet, take your time, Alex.

I sure will.

Hopefully.

Hmmm, I would say about 20 minutes. But that was very lucky. I don't think I re-edited anything in it. Most other heavy edited shots in the set took about 30-50 minutes of editing time, even though I kinda mixed editing with other activities, so it's not exact.

if it's only preview...

Welp, you should wait for the answer a lil' more.

Okay, while the Viper set is being made I've got a couple of entries fro this week's comps:

Loving the toning and sense of motion in the first shot, SMfan. While I'm not a huge fan of such a high amount of noise, I think that - in this case - it fits perfectly. The second shot, on the other hand, is all about lighting and reflections - you've done a great job regarding both of these aspects. The focal length allows you to enhance all the details on the rear end of the car, as well - it doesn't look like a "standard" car at all. 👍

Thanks, man!👍

Well, neither am I, actually, but it just felt right for this shot.

Exactly what I was going for. Thank you.

Okay, I'm terribly sorry, but the new set is still not finished, but hey, there's a new tutorial ready, hope it's something, at least.



EDIT: Here's the final version of the pic:




​

 

[SMfan]

Looks like the last tut didn't turn out that interesting.

Anyways, the Viper/Radiate set is here, with the first half being less edited and less "radiated", and the second being influenced by the song the most or, at least, having more editing applied to it.

Pt.1:












Pt.2:

[GTracer98]

So green!! Epic shots! And nice tutorial, as always!

 

[Watchman]

Fantastic set, SMfan. Pictures #5, #6, #13 and #15 are my personal favourites. 👍
