Feedback on it (positive or negative). I'm quite a perfectionist so i always have room for improvements. Since I started this thread as a new member, you all won't know that I like Drifting Highly powerful cars. I like them because it's something new and i prefer it. So here you go.

BMW V12 LMR - Trial Mountain

Very Straight-forward photos. Most of which were actually poor drifts because i went really fast into the corners, hitting the walls, but noone has to know that :sly: shh.

MINOLTA Toyota 88C-V - Motegi Road Course -!Hot!


Captions:
1)This one isn't really a drift, it was very appealing.
2)I liked above and this because they show lots of smoke and angle.
3)Lots of speed as appears, but I was going quite slow.
4)A very nice blur effect.
5)1/29/07 UPDATED: Long Lost photo. Very RARE, observe it.
Most of these were a little short on the corner, but the angle or car and steering was great.

Sauber Mercedes C 9 - Seoul


Captions:
1)Again, just another appealing one that includes the office building.
2)Another one with an office building, but this one includes a drift! :)
3)A Side View drift.
4)A closer and blur side view.
5)I don't quite like this one, although was taken at the same time of the side view but from another angle.
6)1/29/07 UPDATED: Long Lost photo. Very RARE, observe it.

I didn't really have fun making these photos because I'm just repeating the same angles and ideas of the V12 LMR's. I just wanted to get a LeMans to Yaw.

Suzuki Escudo Dirt Trial - Apricot Hill

Not very impressive photos IMO, but this is for those who say you can't drift an Escudo.:)

:)1/23/07 UPDATE:)
What's New? Since of my temporary absence to playing GT, the skilll of my photography as well as drifting with my DS2 has slacked significantly, but you can understand. So I Present to you..

HKS Hyper Genki Silvia - Trial Mountain

Appears to have a very wide angled slide.
This shows lots of Aggression and Attitude from rear end.
a Poor Drift into the wall, but i like the Wholesome Yaw.
This was my favourite pic of all the Silvias here.

Mazda 787B (Black) - Grand Valley Speedway
These weren't that great simply because it was my first attempt to drift on Grand Valley, but i didn't want too stick with Trial Mountain because there wouldn't be any variety. Anywho, here you go.


Captions:
1)Not too bad, Not too good. this has just about zero-countersteer.
2)Possibly the one photo that shows how much i like to stay in a drift. It's heading for the Pits!!
3)Quite straightforward shot, little angle, just exiting tunnel.
4)Another straightforward shot, nothing impressive, but it's still a drift though.
5)Similar to previous, I just love that focus in the front.
6)Great Entry.. Looks Intense, No? Same shot at different Angle below.
7)Another rear shot.
8)A Close up from front view sliding off to the right.
9)Not very great at all, but i put it in anyway.
10) & 11)"Light at the end of the Tunnel" at different angles.


Subaru Impreza Sti - Photo Travel & High Speed Ring


Captions:
1)Quite Appealing, now to get that Angle at drifting.
2)1/29/07 UPDATED: Only this one worked, because the rest didn't show clearly visible smoke.
I shall obtain a mass variety of the Imprezas as soon as I can.

:)1/27/07 UPDATE:)
I didn't get a good amount of time to get a variety of cars, but i did however pump out some nice Skylines. I also removed the resolution bar and decided to reformat my presentation of this gallery.:). hurry, finally!

Nissan Skyline (R34) N1 - Tsukuba (Dry & Wet)


Captions:
1)a Rush Hour Focus, or something like that. Sorry, I'm poor at explanations.
2)It's not even about the Skyline, it's about Dunlop. hahaha, I'll call it, "The Arch of Dunlop"
3) Appearance of an Uphill Battle.
4) and 5) "One with the Sun". Different Angles, in reference to that Sunset Minolta above.
6)Thick cloud of smoke, "Eat my Dust!"
7)Big Drift for a Small Car
8)Was trying to make it look like the car was going lightning speed. Failed.:(
9) All the brightness to the car, "the Spotlight". Unedit-ed by photoshop.
10) Close-up drift in Tsukuba Wet.

:)1/29/07 UPDATE:)

More Stuff to come. Unfortunately, the Amuse S2000 couldn't make it. However, the 240SX did, as well as others. I also uploaded my Long Lost LM drift photos of the C9 and 88C-V (if you haven't seen it already). Anywho, Today, what I got for you all was the:

Mitsubishi Eclipse GT - Trial Mountain

Captions:
1)Pretty much the idea of the Silvia, one the best drifts i could pull.
2)A fast liftoff drift.
FF Drifting is sucks quite a lot IMO.

Lotus Elise 111R - Special Stage Route 5


Captions:
1)Messed up by making the car so small in view. Now the road overpowers the car.
2)Insane Blur Effect, one headlight lit, while other not as much.
3)Not really a drift, that jump before the turn made me slide out, but again no one has to know that :sly: shh.

Lotus Espirit V8 GT - El Capitan


Captions:
1)Lots of Blur and included the cliffs
2)Lots of Blur again
3)A Lightning Mcqueen pose, well close enough. "Ca-Ciao"
4)For some reason i couldn't think of anything better.
5)Same with this one.
6)The only rear shot i have. :(
7)a Distant Side view showing the car drifting to the right.
8)Lots of Angle downhill. this was intense at the moment.
Were fast drifts, but most of which were low angles, and were heading towards walls.

:)1/30/07 UPDATE:)
As Promised, the 240SX's are in!! I Will be getting busy on the LeMans again soon.

Nissan 240SX - Deep Forest Raceway


Captions:
1)Another Speed-filled drift. Basic and straightforward, you'll probably like it.
2)A closer Look at the intense speed.
3)A same shot, i think, and the rear. Pretty much the same idea as the Lost photo of the Sauber C 9 I got above. I'm running out of ideas :(

-R92CP (ORIGINAL & BLACK)
-R390 (ORIGINAL & BLACK)

Final Word
P.S. If you DO like some of these ideas and use it, would you like to credit me for it? It's not that i'm being selfish, this would help me understand if people are inspired or impressed by these ideas. Also, i didn't look at others' photos for these ideas, REALLY.:grumpy:
 
Is Awesomus even a word, unless you were meant to say?

When i typed "Awesomus", I meant to imply "Awesome-ness".get it? Anywho, I didn't expect an "ok", havng said that, that would mean you can do better? Have you got any tips? oh BTW, I DON'T edit my photos with anything, it's straight from the Ps2 and that's it.
 
You've got a pretty good start to your gallery so far. My favorites are the first of the LMR and third of the Minolta. As far as tips go check the box that says get rid of size and resolution bar on imageshack, it'll make the shots look alot better. I'd suggest downloading Photoshop or GIMP to edit your photos with just incase you want to get more creative then what GT4 allows.
 
I Would Download photoshop, but since i already have gotten creative with m desktop, cursor, login screen, boot screen, icons, Wallpaper and skins of some stuff, adding a photoshop would seriously slow my computer down significantly. Also I don't know hwo to use photo shop too many things i don't understand.
 
You have some nice shots for your first sets of photos. You've got nice angles and composition. I have tons of advice for you but being as you don't want to download photoshop I can't help you. If you want to get better Photoshop is your answer; but for now, that is the best quality of photo you can produce, which aren't great.
 
Pretty good update there Trico, the last silvia and the impreza are my favs. Can't wait to see some more pics of you drifting that Subie.

i actuallly got Photoshop CS now, i dont know how to use these things, I can learn how to do some stuff after a situational tutorial such as "this and that". PM me for advice
 
Now you can begin to improve. Remember that you must play around with things to learn the program. There are also alot of tutorials out there that can teach you how to do certain things. This forum has some of it's own tutorials that can be found here. First off lets start off with how to brighten a photo. You go to Image->Adjustments->Brightness/Contrast. Play around with the first slider to brighten the photo to your liking. You will notice that the more you increase it, the more of a "white haze" will appear on the photo. To balance this out you want to increase the contrast which is the slider bar underneath brightness. Increase this and your photo will become more realistic and balanced. Another adjustment you may consider is saturation. If your photos seem alittle bleak and lacking of color and vibrance, you definately want to increase the saturation. Saturation is located under Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation. The second slider down is the saturation adjustment. Slide it to the right to increase the saturation (more vibrant colors) or slide it to the left to desaturate (less vibrant colors). If you slide it all the way down to the left you wind up with a black and white photo. Those are some basic tips and techniques that will get you started on photo clean up. Be sure to check out the other tutorials in the link provided above. I suggest you check out pixeljunkynz's "Composition & Cleanup" tutorial. If you have any further questions feel free to PM me. Please stop by my gallery if you get a chance :cheers:
 
+rep for "great minolta and LMR" shots (on the first post).

I always have a hard time finding race cars that will look good in photos. While I wasn't too much a fan of some of those shots, I felt like the LMR and Minolta shots had great quality to them.
No suggestions for improvements... My only suggestion at all is to simply keep up the good work. 👍
 
a bit dark for me, but the angles and stuff look great. i love the first two sauber c9 shots. a lot of art riding on those photos. sorta reminds me of my alfa romeo update i did in new york months ago. very nice!
 
Have to agree with jgda9rs a wee bit dark for my liking but very intresting angles. My favourite is the Subaru Impreza like the angle and colours. Great work so far and cannot wait for your next batch. If you have time have a look at my gallery link is in my Signature.
 
1/16/07 & 1/23/07 Comments and feedback above.
1/27/07 update, none :( So.. to compensate..
1/27/07 Update & 1/29/07 Update Comments and feedback below.
Thanks for Visiting.
 
Those eclipse shots are awesome IMO, some of the lotus shots where either to dark or to blurry.
 
I love the angles, I used to have angles like that. :D
Just a bit blurred, and actually pretty dark.

A little Blurry, yes.
A little Dark, Yes.

the only reason for this is because i was using my LCD tv rather than my Tube screen. Sicne i dont have HDMI cables yet, i could've tell if it was bright enough.

i shall resume using my tube tv screen from now on.
 
1/29/07 and earlier updates, Above this Post.
1/30/07 Update; Posts, comments and feedback below :)
Hopefully I get some more comments..
 
Wow, the 240SX in black is very nice. The rim selection and spoiler make it a total drift car. I really like the first thumbnail, it really showcases a nice long, high-speed drift. Alittle brighter and alittle more contrast would work wonders. Other than that, good job 👍
 
:)2/14/07 UPDATE:)
NOTE: I exceeded 100 images in my first post so i had to move the next update here.

Happy Valentine's Day! Unfortunately for me, I don't have classes due to poor weather, so i decided to drift with R8 today and regain my pride in Drifting LeMans! *Applauses* Unfortunately, I don't have someone to be with today, sadly enough. So, what's on the menu for today, well the ONLY thing on the menu for today is...:

Audi R8 - Fuji Speedway 90's


Captions:
1)Rejection from the rear, telling you to "Stay Back!"
2)Close Up Smokin'
3)Lots of Speed and Sliding
4)Low Riding..
5)Swiftness! LoneRider..
6)Stretcher Smoke. It's the R8's way or the Highway.
7)Rear out First, before the Front.
8)Side View
9)Vast amount of Tire Burn
10)"Fly to the Sky", more like the Sun though.
11)Drift Fury! the red tint over everything excites the anger of the car. My fav pic here.
12)Master of Yaw, YawMaster. Practically 90 degrees skid, I'll call it, "90 Degree Burn"
13)another sequel to "One with the Sun"
14)Sidewinder Move, called "Serpentine"
15)Plain Top View
I very Much enojyed making this batch of photos, I actually tried making the car go sideways at 250km/h+ so i could imitate the Minolta drift i pulled off.

Very nice shots Andy, I really like the first one and drift Fury. It cool how you name all your shots.
 
:p I don't think you can copyright an idea for a picture...
Still, they're cool pics! I like how you name them too, although some names are slightly cheesy... ;)
 
The fifth shot really impresses me. The car looks like it has as much momentum as a train. The blur really makes the car looks fast. Drift fury is my fave from the rest.
