BTW: What's that font you got on the banner? Care to share?
Great photos to start with ... I expect you will put some TT pictures soon
anyhow not all photoshop users here care nothing about photography
some of us are highly obsessed about tonal balance, composition and lighting
we just take photography to another level
As i say here, i don´t edit the photos because i don´t like at all the "photoshop makeovers" done by various guys, which try to keep the eyes away from the most important points of photographies and what makes taking them so special.
That´s what i try to do with my photos, avoiding any unnecessary editing and choosing carefully the scenes,angles and positions of the photographed object.
I don't think that's true at all, mate.
Most of the guys around here that do a lot of work with photoshop on their shots are truly excellent at taking the shots within GT4 (and in real life, for that matter - some are photography geeks in a good way).
They pay a lot of attention to angle, composition and everything to get the shots just right and balanced, before they edit them.
So, that's just a wrong assumption. Photoshop gurus aren't photoshop gurus to makeover poorly taken shots, it's taking great shots to a whole new level and having fun doing it.
The way I see it, nobody should be limited to what Gt4 offers in terms of image appearance.
Standard unedited GT4 images tend to look 'all the same' after a while, and editing them - slightly or heavily - is up to anyone, to make it a more personal shot. (I still don't know if you're including me on the 'very few that shouldn't be here'), but it's ok.
As a simple example, you have the shot of the Audi Quattro with the Lancia you just posted. The rims are perfectly still, which means if fails in terms of action on the shot. If you were to have the rims moving, you'd have to lower your shutter speed, and as the Quattro is near the camera it would be almost completely blurred. This is easily done with photoshop.
On another example, shots 1 and 2 of that last batch are way too dark, easily fixed in seconds with any editing software.
That's just what I'm saying here, it's up to everyone's personal tastes to change the shots and to what extent (sp?) they're willing to do so.
You have some photos here, but that doesn't mean they're the best around, photography-wise.
But it's a fresh thing to have a gallery with only unedited photos, especially if they look good like yours do, I'll be sure to keep checking. Good luck with it. 👍
Wow, your new update is very cool,👍 but why dont you post the updates in new posts? It is more easy to see than everything in the first post.
If you want to make it easier,you could just put a link to one of your updated post on your 1st post just like i did.Save the trouble of posting twice and save some time loading the page (if you know what i mean) but is it just me or you like to do vertical shots only? I'm just wondering......
