New.... Top Speed Series.

Try something different and basically played with some zoom blur, tried to convey speed in different situations...





 
i like the first and third photos. the 300zx looks decent, except the blur kinda got messed up a bit. typical gimp problem really. but did you do the blur on a separate layer ? coz that sort of problem stems from doing the motion/zoom blur on the same layer. another would be excessive blur distance. but they all look very good indeed. next time i would like to see you work on the whole photo itself, instead of just the blurs. you know, like the exposure levels and colour balancing and stuff like that. things are looking up i must say!

Im using Photoshop, i cant seem to nail the zoom blur like some people on this forum, they have detailed lines while mine seem to lose detail even though its in the direction of the zoom... Im blurring on different layers too, ill have to look for some zoom blur tutorials to improve it.
 
New Series.....

Pretty basic name, Ive learnt alot over the past couple of days from suggestions by other members, so I thought i would work on a few..

Hope you enjoy:

Lately ive been trying to capture some brutal racing shots, but I find it quite hard with GT4... ill be adding some more and try to convey the sense of endurance in the shots...
Ive used GT cars which would take part in the N24 and im trying to keep it as authentic as possible.

Heres what ive come up with for now:

The Nurburgring 24H Series is defenately my best yet, i love endurance racing and the toughness of it, ive come pics coming up, this is going to be my largest by far aswell...
 
Beautiful pictures, Balang! 👍 It really makes you see how great the endurance races would be if the sun really went down!
 
Phenomanal stuff man. Very creative. I love the "day into night shots". The rainy pic is also pretty awesome, but I think a little less opacity would've gone a long way. Still overall...the very best I've seen from you :D:tup:

Youre right, a little less opacity would have made it more realistic.. next time i do one i wont make the reflections that strong.
 
balang_479........all your pictures are astonishing....incredible.......the best pics i've seen so far......keep up the good work...
 
Hmmm... its my first time in here, but you can be assured it won't be my last. :D You have a lot of quality and creativity in the shots posted in these three short pages. It is also nice to see that you are progressing at a very fast pace. Your Nurburgring update is particularly impressive. 👍 Keep it up and you will one day be one of the greats of this forum! 👍

Great stuff, keep 'em coming! :dopey:
