ALPHA's Smörgåsbord

Ohh, nice. I particularly like the 2nd shot from the Nanzenji set and the 3rd from the Sagano set. I've never tried shooting at Nanzenji, I'll have to give it a go sometime. And the shot of the Ford GT from your previous update is excellent. 👍

ALPHA
I really should think about using thumbnails...

Please?

kennythebomb · Jul 21, 2005

Wow - you keep getting better! AWESOME angles on some of those.

thanks for the explanation!

The Ford GT LM Spec II shot came out a gazillion times better than I had hoped for, what's really interesting is that the photomode competitions are yet to actually use a particular photomode location hint, hint guys! Nanzenji looked like crap on the TV but after fiddling with the levels it really brought out the colours.

Yea, for me on 56k it's a bloody ***** just to edit!

Lots of new photos since my last visit
excellent job ... so clean!

ALPHA · Jul 23, 2005

Some Cuda action

kennythebomb · Jul 23, 2005

Very nice.

tabs · Jul 31, 2005

Glad to see you've made the switch to thumbnails. 👍

I really like the FX batch. The color balance is awesome, did you add a bit of blue or anything? In any case, very nice!

The Cuba pictures are very nice as well, my favorite is the 8th shot.

Hmm, I just noticed in a few of your shots from the FX shoot there are "spots" in sky. If you want, you could Smart Blur those out.

Those look awesome Alpha! They are so relaxing and easy to look at!👍

ALPHA · Aug 12, 2005

Bentley, Motegi, Styley!

Wallpapers too!

franz · Aug 12, 2005

very good looking
oh ... the first wallpaper you borrow it from the Japanese demo's booklet right?

725 · Aug 12, 2005

Nice very nice!

JTSnooks · Aug 13, 2005

On the Bentley wallapaper, you remastered the front wing yourself, right? Those lines don't show up anywhere else...

franz · Aug 13, 2005

I didnt notice that in the first place
I am sure he remastered it by comparing the smaller version above
that's really neat!

I'd love to say that I tweaked the image but sadly, there was no need. The original shot has the lines, you've just got to get the camera and car in the right position in relation to the light source which brings the pattern out.

The first time I noticed that pattern was in my GT4 Limited Edition Press Launch Set calendar. The month of June has a nice picture of the pattern, you could say it was my inspiration

. Oh and yeap, I took the wallpaper image from the booklet

Costa Di Amalfi time!

It's um, Sketch > Halftone Pattern + a few extra tweaks. ALPHA's methods must remain top secret at all costs

Excellent update, ALPHA. I really like the 240RS set, too - don't know how I missed that update. Keep 'em coming! 👍

spykerdriver · Aug 25, 2005

The 240 blends in with it's surroundings.
All of them are very good.
The Bentlys and Chapprals especially.

franz · Aug 25, 2005

nice update Alpha
very colourful and those noise are good

kennythebomb · Aug 25, 2005

Great selection Alpha. 👍

You know, I guess Laguna is the natural place to take the 2D. That's where I conducted my first big photoshoot, same car/track combo months ago.

G-T-4-Fan · Aug 25, 2005

Much of your pictures are labled as a question mark with me, meaning I cant view them?! Why?

LandoAWD · Aug 25, 2005

Wow...just wow.
