This one's OK, but the way the light reflects of the car is a bit distracting, and makes it look like the car is a lot smaller than it actually is.
I like this one. The fact that you can see both the wheels and driver turning makes the photo look that much more realistic.
This one would be great if it wasn't for the glare coming from the right headlight. Also, try to make it not look like the camera is going to get hit by the car.
I think this one would belong in the artistic thread more than this one.
This one is good. Nothing really outstanding, but nothing is wrong. 👍
This one definitely belongs in the artistic thread.
This one is distorted on the edges. It shows me that you used a very short focal, ~<50, which isn't good. Makes it look like a fish eye lens.
Also, I would like some help with GIMP. Any takers?
If you need help getting pictures to look realistic through GIMP, PM me.

Okay, here goes.

RX-7 1

It needs more blur and the position where you are shooting from makes it unrealistic. Try shooting where the car is facing you with full opposite lock, it makes for some fantastic drift shots! Here is an example:



RX-7 2

Again, more motion blur is needed, use 1/60th for your shutter speed, use panning mode 3 and dont forget to focus on the car!

RX-7 3

Motion blur again! The car always looks like it's parked there. For shooting a car on a track I suggest trying to imagine your a trackside photographer to get realistic looking shots. Honestly, you can stand anywhere on the track and make it realistic, but using a high zoom (anything over 100, 300+ even better) should be preferred as thats what race photographers use.

SLR 1

This one isn't too bad, maybe try moving the camera to the right a bit more so that the SLR sign isn't too close to the edge of the camera, people will look at that and it will lead their eyes off the image.

SLR 2

This one is not really an outstanding picture, but its not bad either. Maybe some tilt to make it interesting? Subtle editing could help it too. Bear in mind though some colours in GT5 look more realistic than others. If you were aiming for some realism, try and find colours that reflect well with the sunlight. The matte ones are a definite no-no

SLR 3

Nothing artistic about this as what gamerdog said... Nothing I can really say with this one. Maybe some editing to make it more shiny and reflective would do well.

SLR 4

I thought this photo was actually pretty cool. If you use anything less than 30 on your zoom then the lens magically becomes a fisheye lens. I don't know why PD did that. Its good SOMEtimes, but I'd much rather prefer a non fisheye wide angle 👍

Now I shall contribute to this thread!
