.....wow, that's the prettiest XR-7 I've seen yet! It's quickly becoming one of my favorite photo cars in the game. People just keep making it look better! Let's see someone make a gold one look good now...

You ever wondered why I never leave comments in you and other peoples galleries?

Actually, I have.

Another bad thing about the inclines is that, most of the times, shadows won't appear on them - hence the weird look of that first picture.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.

👍

Thanks. I've never seen a gold one actually, but I'll give it a try if I do.

Also, thanks, Lando and Felipe. 👍

Another great update

quite different from the usual NYC shots

Master_Yoda · Oct 7, 2005

LandoAWD · Oct 7, 2005

The second "big" shot is superb.

I find it strange that you said that, since I didn't mess with the curves (I never do).
It was just the in-game filter and, obviously, a bit more saturation in Photoshop. 👍

G-T-4-Fan · Oct 7, 2005

Just a bit warmer than usual. I adore that last picture :eek:

!

That's one of my favorites from your gallery:tup: :sly:

ekmatt9 · Oct 7, 2005

Nice Volvo shots. I like Volvo's a lot...The old one's though

ALPHA · Oct 7, 2005

Yay, imageshack has stopped having brainfarts with me and everything loads!

The Volvo looks so crisp and natural looking, a never seen before! Oh and yeap got your PM and always presumed the other recipient was tabs

As I've said to tabs, I'm glad both of you are smart. 💡
I don't know what was I thinking when I wrote that... I didn't even mention 'black car', which was the whole point of it! :ouch:

Anyway... Thank you all so much for your comments. 👍

Here's a quick and small update:

RS4 @ Citta Di Aria

I'll probably update some more pictures later.

Greycap · Oct 9, 2005

What can I say? Simple is beautiful!

spykerdriver · Oct 9, 2005

Dude, the first and last thumbs are the best.

livemusic · Oct 9, 2005

The second pic is awesome too. Good job! 👍

35mm · Oct 9, 2005

Eheh.

Glad to see that so far you liked the pictures that I left as thumbs the best... :lol:

Seriously, thanks for the feedback, guys. 👍

G-T-4-Fan · Oct 9, 2005

My prob with this car is when I look at it in the Audi buy section of GT4, when it's slowly turning there with the option buy it kinda looks......fake. Then I see some shots and realize it's cool so IMMEDIATLY go to the audi dealer again....and think "well this kinda looks fake :banghead:

!!!!"

I gotta shut up and buy the car IMMEDIATLY! :lol:

Great pictures.

I never asked this but please give me a tip in my gallery to improve. I so desperatly want to improve but there are not enough reactions. It's like Lando and Sejtur are my only visitors

Oh yeah! Once and for all, do it! :lol:

Will do, no problem. It's just that there are so many galleries around that it's impossible to see and comment all of them.

Also, I don't feel comfortable telling other people what I don't like about their pictures and tell them what to do instead. Because, in the end, it's all a matter of personal taste.

But, if there is some information or some "tricks" that you'd like to share with me, go ahead! I'd be more than happy and I've done it several times before.

Oh, and thanks. 👍

mprata · Oct 9, 2005

The thumbs are the bests for me

G-T-4-Fan · Oct 9, 2005

Wow that was fast, thanks Diabolical

Well, I really want comment lolz, some tips. If I get tips from everyone, I will get absolutely every tip for every style

If you had made my pictures, what didn't you like about them. Tell me and I know how to make diablical shots

Lolz it aint that simple I know and it's kinda hard to do cause it's like on the verge of insulting lol! But that aint a prob in my book

SlipZtrEm · Oct 9, 2005

Diabolical, I could say the same thing: You don't stop, do you?

The entire S60 set is strong, and like Franz said, it has a different tone than the majority of NYC shots. I haven't taken any there yet, but I plan on it soon enough. The S60 really suits it 👍

The RS4 shots are another strong set, even if you call it a "small update". My least favourite is probably the first shot, but don't take that wrong; I love them all, I just love that one (slightly) less! As Greycap said, the simplicity of the 3rd shot is what I love, while the other two thumbs have some nice reflections. The 2nd and fifth shots also have the ideal depth (in my books), so I definitely can't pick a favourite. I'm sure you understand

.

Excellent 👍

tabs · Oct 9, 2005

Oh niiiice, this shot is gorgeous. The only thing I dont like about it is the Gran Turismo 4/SCEI bit of text. Why dont you Clone Stamp or Crop these out? Just a suggestion.

And the last shot is great, too - (I like them all, but you know what I mean; probably not, though.)

Man, I've been looking through your gallery and I don't think you need any advice from me... :sly:

The last pictures you've taken look very nice and clean. Good job. 👍

I'll be checking the new updates and commenting them for sure. 👍

Yeah, a saloon suits NY fine. tabs' set with an 3 Series BMW @ NY also looks very good. 👍

That first shot is probably my favorite.

But obviously I won't take that wrong. I really apreciated your in-depth comments on these sets. 👍

About the watermark...

I don't like to crop my pictures. I like to maintain the original proportions and very rarely do I crop a picture. Only if it creates a better framing.

As for Clone Stamping it, that's too much work.

I don't like to spend more than 2, 3 minutes per picture on Photoshop. I just do my standard cleaning and get on with it.
Obviously removing the watermark, adding a "cheesy frame" (

), a bit of USM, etc would make them look much better, but I can't bother with that.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

35mm · Oct 10, 2005

As I said earlier, here's another small update. Kind of "leftovers". The first picture of the first set was the one I used for the "Truck Attitude" PMC.

Ford truck @ Seattle

Holden Monaro @ El Captain

livemusic · Oct 10, 2005

I really like this last one. 👍

vr6gti72 · Oct 10, 2005

I like the first truck shot....yikes

Hahaha, I think I still have that PM lying around. What's "USM" ?

I'm loving the 1st shot of the Ford and the last shot of the Holden, by the way. 👍

franz · Oct 10, 2005

Monaro batch is very nice
the last two are my favorite 👍
