taking pictures of backfire

[zorrofox]

Here's the first shots where I actually managed to capture the exhaust flame. They're HDR too but the flame tends to mess with the HDR a bit.

The secret is to stuff dynamite down the exhaust before you start..

I still feel the backfire looked a lot better in GT4. I will contribute some pics in the near future.

I love this shot I did...

Here's my attempt...

Yup that last pic just proves my theory about GT4 flames looking better. The backfire in GT5 does not even reflect off the ground like it did in GT4. Its a shame too because the backfire in GT4 looked amazing.

How do you guys get those backfire's? Since thres no rewind/fast forward...

You have to pause it at the exact moment it happens during the replay. If you miss the backfire, you have to start the replay over. I suggest doing it on a very small track so you can get to the replay right away. It usually happens while downshifting.

I sort of cheated and kept flicking through the gears. then quickly pausing and unpausing till I got a good one.
For a good pic. you need the flame to be away from the car. the shutter seems to take the pic a few ms before the actual paused screen.

Yeah I thought so. I hate it that there's no decent rewind/fast forward function like GRID Racedriver's... I LOVED that. The slowmo fast forward etc.

Edit: LOL, btw:

There's someone on a camel in the background (rear mirror)...

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Yup fast forward and rewind should have been in the replay feature for sure. Thought for sure it would have had it by now after 5 games.

[hellaflush]

I got so lucky with this. Freakin' I just pressed pause, and bam!!! w00t

I'm pleased with these pics

I couldn't resist trying with the X1

 

[Christoforo]

I have never been able to capture backfire.

 

[billylee0000]

if you really want to capture it, make it continually misfire on purpose in a row and then go to the replay and just keep trying to pause it on a misfire =)
