Hello,

These pictures are the result of my first attempt to make realistic pictures with GT5 Photo Mode.
I don't edit the pictures with Photoshop or something. These are just straight from GT5.
I would like to get your opinions on them, so I can improve my photos.

You're composition skills are very good, especially shot number 6. Although, usually I like to leave some space for the car to "move" into. Like so:

Circuit de la Sarthe 2009_16 by Gt5 By CCXRacer, on Flickr
Other than that, for your moving shots I would lower the shutter speed to 1/60th of a second and switch panning mode to 2, or 3 to produce the effect of movement out of the car. like above.👍

But they are very nice with the color tones and exposure. especially since they are straight outta gt5. I really like the last with the flowers in front of the car, you can see I used the same effect on page 641.
 
I use Paint.NET, it's just as good as photoshop after putting in a few plugins, and it's completely free!

Thank you all for your input! I also have Paint.NET on both my laptop and my PC but that doesn't work the way it does either. Or maybe I am too used to Pixlr. Is there any chance of you giving me tips on how to make realistic photos using Paint.NET?
 
Not hating but it would be much more impressive if these photos were NOT photoshopped and came straight from the games photomode.

You still have a few really good ones that have no editing in them at all other than what is available in the game itself.

Thanks for your reaction! 👍
It's nice to here that you like the pictures! :)

You are right about the space in front of the car, I will try that for sure.
1/60th shutter speed will let my wheels "turn" on the picture?
What is the difference between mode 1 and 2/3?
I am going to use all your tips tomorrow!

My pictures of the V12 Vantage are without Photoshop or something, straigt out GT5...
I would like to hear your opinion on them! :)

If the shutter speed is 150 or below it should be good for the turn aspect. About the modes. Different modes change the focus of the photo. Mode one focuses on the center meaning that,depending on the shutter speed, the other end of the car will look blurred. Mode 2 is somewhat in between meaning the road is somewhat focused and some on the car. Mode 3 is basically the car is the center of attention and the road is not focused. That is from my experience might not be completely true. Hope this helped.

I will try the different modes tomorrow and keep your tips in mind!

With all the tips and help, I hope my pictures will get better.
I am going to play around with everything, I think I will learn from that too...

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. From my experience at least.
