Time for a bit of a comeback, I think!


Nissan R89c Race Car 1989 - Midnight Club Set



The ninth photo is edited, I took some of the bottom off it because it was too tall. Aside from that they're all straight from the game. My clear favourite is the sixth one.

There's another, smaller set of the R89c - at El Capitan! Expect serious wheelspin :scared: I'll post it up as soon as possible :)

Thanks :) I think I'll probably never stop taking photos of this car, I just love it so much! The El Capitan set is up-and-coming, should be online tonight.

Cheers appie 👍

Thanks.

I'm working on the El Capitan set... But either my browser, or ImageShack, or maybe both, are playing up so it won't upload. Only two of six pictures have uploaded so far, so I'm sorry but there'll be a bit of a wait.

you have some superb action shots in here. ever concidered messing with white balance and other alterations? it would probably make some of your shots stand out more
 
Cheers.

I have fiddled with the white balance a few times, none of the resulting shots made it into that update - it was either too blue to start with ( :p ) or the tinge of red made the car stand out a bit less. But with a different coloured car, it can really help at night :)

Wow, Nice photos! I'm very impressed with your improvement from the first set of photos to the last update. Well done 👍. If you have some free time, drop by my gallery and leave a comment :) .
 
Thanks. I'll check your gallery out tonight 👍

Here it is, the full mentality of 968bhp and no traction control at the Corkscrew! :D

Nissan R89c Race Car 1989 - Group C at the 'Cap set



I actually think they're all too dark, but maybe that's just me.
Comments welcome!

DE
 
those pics are awsome you have made the car look like what its supposed to do RACE.......makes me want to drive it and take some pics. there only a little dark but the ones i take at El Capitan turn out a little dark check out my alfa race car and you will see what i mean
 
Thanks for the comments.

The first and last ones aren't too bad for exposure, but the others are a little dark. I think it's shadows doing it, I'm always reluctant to up the exposure too much in case the photos end up looking saturated.

I think I was still blinking in the brightness of day after SSR5 :lol:

DE
 
D'you think? I didn't see a brightness problem with the night photos... *opens folder* Hmm, maybe one or two of them are a tad dark. But I didn't want them to be too bright, after all, it is night time :p :cheers:

DE
 
Time, I think, for an update!

I'll take the first serious request for a new photo set that someone posts :) Give me a car, and a track if you like, you could even say what race to run it in if you want competition shots :dopey: Let me know!

DE
 
Here it is... Comments are, as always, most welcome. Please click the thumbnails for full-size versions.

Toyota Supra RZ at Twin Ring Motegi






White is so unoriginal these days ;)

DE
 
Hehe 👍

Nice one D.E. :sly:

Some great shots there especially the ones that have the obligatory blurring 👍 👍 👍 You know what I'm talking about:dopey:

Great work. Also the colour of the Supra is quite pleasant.

*Two thumbs up*

Keep it up and looking forwards to the next update :)
 
Just pulled a quick repair job on the post, ImageShack decided to destroy two of the photos...

Smuttney, you know I like my slight blurring every now and then ;)

Thanks MR and Viper!

I'm pretty pleased with all of these, FaLLeNAn9eL, but the ones you selected are probably my favourites too!

That was the plan, LGforce, :dopey: thanks!

Appreciate all the input, guys, one more day for comments on this and I'll open to requests again 👍
Are there any opinions on the second thumb in the second row? It's a little different, and I'm not too sure about it myself..

are you talking about the vertical shot. If so, it looks pretty good, but I like to use that kind of shot when the car is coming straight at the camera so I can get the car and good part of the track in the shot.
 
Ah, good, the blurred side-panner appealed to someone ;) thanks for your input jgda9rs.

Fat Boy Drifter, that is indeed the shot I'm referring to. I know it's much more often seen with cars coming towards the camera, allowing for more of the car and the track in-shot, that's why mine is a little unusual here - I wanted to give the profile a bit more, and in fact it shows a few curves and lines I'd never noticed on a Supra before. Maybe I should incorporate such a shot into every update :sly:

Now open for requests.
