gtd | A Cross The Universe: The Final

I'm a big fan of GT-R's and it's not why I like the pictures, you show big eye for photography 👍

I've just poured through 11 pages of this thread and I'm a bit lost for words to be honest - there's a lot of drama and atmosphere in your shots which appeals to me, and I really like your attention to detail...truly stunning.

Did anyone else notice the 1971 date stamp on the first 330P4 shot?

If you don't mind, I'm saving as many of your shots as I can for my work PC screensaver.

Your blue GTR is quite similar to mine, accept I've used Alfa Romeo Celeste.

Keep posting man, I could look at your work all day

Amazing again, Gtuned!

Cool idea, I like the SLR- instantly recognisable. The GT R doesn't look so clear, I mean you can tell what it is immediately from the tail lights, but the body of it is a bit messy, maybe it could be a little larger in the frame? Otherwise, really good. How did you do this, were they high contrast shots and you p[ixellised the highlights?

Hey Gtuned, I really like the work put into the 'rig-shot' style photographs as well as the extreme close-ups or macro shots as well. Also, the use of purple and orange is spectacular, although to me it seems to lack a little bit of highlight, but that is just nitpicking. Again, great work!

p.s. This is Rattleface Blouses from Jalopnik, lol.

This is glorious 8-bit awesomeness, wallpaper time!

I'm glad you and krako and Rev got something out of my gallery, it's the sum of all i hoped for.

Awesome pics! The Ferrari killed it!

You're my inspiration in photomode(pause).

epic stuff in here.

Unique creation! 👍
I never imagine someone will create this idea and done it.
Awesome. Just Awesome.

I like the second piece.

The 9th and 12th shots in that GTR set are fantastic. 👍

Verry nice updates

Your a genius man.. love all your work.

In my opinion, for a poster like this, a cleaner feel would be better, with no noise. That's just my personal preference. It is very well done, none-the-less! 👍

NICE

fantastic!

I have no words for this kind of level you've reached within GT5 photomode. Everything's just so fabulous, and it all fits; the shape of the car within the compositions, the tones and levels. This set is just so complete! 👍

love your gt40 shots...

Verry nice update, fantastic pictures.
Oh yeah, it won Le Mans around that date i guess.

Awesome stuff. I like the HKS pic, though it looks maybe a little too messy. The last update is fantastic too, you've got the tones spot on and those compositions are just right

Very nice set. 👍

This one has a very cinematic feel about it in particular.


Le Mans '67 had an unusual cat and mouse game in it if I recall correctly. Mike Parkes in the 330 P4 was 4 laps down and was hounding Dan Gurney in the GT40 with his lights, until Gurney had enough and stopped on the grass. Parkes stopped behind him, until he realized this wasn't going to work.

While both of those are right, There's still one thing that happened which i thought was amazing. So if anyone can now guess, It'll be an SLR McLaren as the Prize. What i read about while looking up info had happened during the Practice runs of Lemans. If you can tell me what Gurney did in the MKIV, the SLR will be yours.

"Dan Gurney often complained about the weight of the Mk IV, since the car was 600 pounds heavier than the Ferraris he raced. During practice at Le Mans in 1967, in an effort to preserve the fragile brakes, Gurney developed a strategy (also adopted by co-driver A.J. Foyt) of backing completely off the throttle several hundred yards before the approach to the Mulsanne hairpin and virtually coasting into the braking area. This technique saved the brakes, but the resulting increase in the car's recorded lap times during practice led to speculation within the Ford team that Gurney and Foyt had hopelessly "dialed out" their car"

Whether it was actually because of the weight vs. brakes issue, or whether it was to sand bag and lull Ferrari into a false sense of security is another matter...

And Carlos got it from i think the same wikipedia article i used for the info. I put around that date beacuse i didn't know when they did the practice run. So you got yourself a SLR Mclaren Carlos.

Thanks Gtuned - actually got it from a die-cast model website of all places!

Appreciate the gift by the way, and your skill. I have, true to my word, downloaded much of the content of this thread for a screensaver. Only problem is, I keep stopping work to look at them!

I'm at work at the moment in fact so can't accept any friend request for another 10 hours. If that messes you around too much, feel free to gift the car to someone else.

Thanks again

Nope, no problem, I'll send over the Friend request, then once i see it's accepted and i'll ship over the SLR.
I also can not be held responsible for your lack of work effort
