The Realistic Photo Thread

[dandroid13]

It annoys me too... but I just don't say anything. Probably because I used to be a total n00b in photomode. I've been learning though

I said the same to another guy and he called me jealous

^ last pic you screwed up, it's miniature filter

I def did it on purpose, no screw up that I know of, and it looks authentic to me.... Just like shooting in bright light when it's snowy. What's wrong with it?

cause it's more artistic than realistic, don't you think?

 

[ChaosStar79]

Yeah maybe, I have some that are far more artistic than realistic though. Check out my gallery if you have the time.

yeah, but hey, you got the technique, only need to add that sense of movement (a.k.a. panning mode 3) that shhiny48 said

I read the FAQ or whatever about that but I haven't seen a great deal of difference in the modes yet. Depends on the shot though. I'll have to play with it and figure it out. Thanks for the looks though!

there's a huge difference, but you must use shutter speed 1/60 to get it

I'll check it out. Thanks. 👍

Yes, that's a 120 HP, 600 kg car you see drifting up there.

And now I remember why I stopped looking at this thread before because some people are so bloody daft they don't quite understand the meaning of REALISTIC that is in the thread title come on idiots you know who you are if you cant make REALISTIC photos then dont post them so people have to scroll through page after page of crap quite frankly *end rant*

Define "realistic".

Agreed, that's why I was at first reluctant to post any of mine.

Define "realistic".

In my opinion, the point of this thread is to post photos that make you do a double-take, because they don't look like photomode at all, but like 'real' photos taken with a 'real' camera. For instance, any photo of a speeding car, taken from the track directly in front of the car, is NOT realistic, since the photographer could never be there to take the shot in real life.

so pics like those that automakers show when they launch a new car aren't realistic?

I´m more the "artistic" than "realistic" guy!

But here are my two cents....

[Big Ron]

the first one is stunning...I need to look twice to see, that is is GT5. But one question: Does the building exist at Tokio Route 246 or is it a photo background?

In my opinion, no, many of them aren't. To my eye, this looks unrealistic:

That is also realistic. And the car is coming right at the camera man ( I know he's in a car in front ). But dont complain about people posting photos like that when they are realistic and when you posted it.

Im not a walking dictionary dude but you have to admit that a good 85-90% of the shots in this thread look like photomode and not real life and that is a conservative estimate.

Real Life (Realistic)

Artificial (Not Realistic)

Red Bull Hangar 7 - GT5 by FishyJuice, on Flickr
Pretty real, IMO.

Do you wear tracksuits? like check beige ones ones...that....umm...a chav wears??
Cars like this, dont look good with Carbon fiber bonnets, (unless coloured Carbon fiber) and Spoilers...

The angles are one of the last issues in this thread. It's the composition, lack of focus, over-done effects, & poor lighting that make most of the pics in this thread look anything but realistic.


The Subaru Smitz posted is what this thread is about. Nicely focused &, the lighting is just about right, so it's just on the border on of passing for a real photo. 👍
