^^^ Did you just recreate that wallpaper in GT5??? If so thats awesome!
 
Dood, allow RM cars.. it's called a 'Racing Modification' and you can do that in real life, thus making the car road-illegal. Jeez... anyway, I'll continue to post random cars until you change your mind. >:D
 
hey bro, what about panning mode 3 to get less blurred cars? then use shutter speed 1/60

I have tried that, but IMO, it doesn't look as real that the car is perfectly clear, but also moving at 150 mph. It has more of a sense of speed to me. I know everyone's opinion is different to what looks realistic and what doesn't. I also know that the surrounding can show the sense of speed, but it doesn't look right for some reason, IMO, that the car is perfectly clear at that speed.

I see your point but, yeah, it also doesn't feels realistic that you were fast enough to capture that car "by yourself" (what panning mode 1 means)

Well, actually, it's very hard but more realistic to get a perfect sharp car and a blur background, it's only a matter of photographer technical competence (and luck too).

2 of my real pics as examples (click for 640 and 1800 also available):


shutter speed 1/200e

More difficult:

shutter speed 1/60e

All my real panning shots here.

I see your guy's points, and I will try panning mode 3 again, and play around with the other setting to see if I can capture a few better images.
 
I need to get more shots of my race cars. These are all I've got, and they're nowhere near as good as some of the other shots I've taken :(

Let me be the first one to say Those houses in the back look horrid
 
Beautiful pics guys, keep them coming :D
Walkinshaw, damage in the second pic?

Got me ! - I was hoping no one would notice !! (how naive)
I have a habit of hitting stuff on route to the photo shoot. I usually take it easy then get bored and gun it, only to crash.:crazy:
