love your work DM and it's good to see you back in action the past month 👍

I do like the way you try to frame the shot so it needs no cropping. These days I am lazy and tend to 'shoot to crop', at least to leave enough bleeding off the rhs & bottom so I can crop the logo out - much easier than trying to clone stamp it away!

 

[Fletch]

I really like the black and white one 👍 👍

 

[Greycap]

Was that last Focus driven over a kerb as it's lifting the rear wheel?

 

[sejtur]

Wow, nice update as always, DM. The pics are all so sharp and outstanding, I really can't pick a favourite.

 

[35mm]

Some of those look like the ones from my 156 update. Which means they must be good. Hehe.

Told ya!

But the location...I think it was bad

What's wrong with it, ekmatt?

O_o. Is that celica photoshopped? Or is it just a bright photo?

All my pictures are Photoshopped pretty much the same way with:

- Levels
- Brightness/Contrast
- Shadows/Highlights
- Saturation

Was that last Focus driven over a kerb as it's lifting the rear wheel?

Yes, it was. Unfortunately, cars don't lift their inside rear wheel during corners in GT4... 👎




Also, thanks, Felipe, Brock, Fletch and sejtur. 👍👍👍👍

OOOOHHH that last shot is AWSOME:tup:

Here's some old random stuff I decided to gather:

 

[Greycap]

I like the fourth one, I don't recognize the car (blackout ) or the track but it is really impressive! 👍

A love of Alfas is always a good basis for some photos

I'd been toying with the idea of taking an old SL out for some shots, but I prefer the new R230 model. You've done a great job shooting it, I forgot how much I love the lines on that car. I can't begin to pick a favourite of the Focus and Celica sets, they're both just awesome. Funny that the Celica shots inspired your theme for the PMC, since that was a really popular car, and nobody knew it was the reason for the theme .

I do much the same as Brock; I shoot to crop, though only the bottom and a whichever side I prefer. I always try to keep the same h/w ratio now, which means I sometimes have to throw out shots because of a bad texture. Your pictures never seem to suffer from that (well, very very rarely) 👍.

 

[sejtur]

I like all shots. I barely could recognise that the blurry 147 shot was taken at apricot!

EDIT: I mean that I recognised it without looking at the other pic, but its at apricot right!

There's your answer, Greycap.

So true...

(well, very very rarely) 👍.

Please tell when you see one. Constructive criticism is always welcome! 👍





Thanks, guys. 👍

Seems like with that Lightning more or less most of the time you were not in control.

Great gallery though! 👍

 

[sejtur]

I always crop the bottow away, but the top also. I don't know how to crop only the bottom systematic, but I ain't too bothered with it; if I have a car exactly in the middle of a pic, I have it vertical symmatric (or whatever the word is )

 

[Blackbird.]

If you mean getting rid of the "Gran Turismo 4/SCEI" I just use clone stamp zoomed it alot.

Hi, Eric. Thanks for stopping by. 👍

I didn't understand your comment, though...

 

[Blackbird.]

In the update with the Black F-150 Lightning in all those pics most of the time it looked like it was out of control.

 

[35mm]

Oh, Lighting = Ford truck... 💡 Sorry, I'm a .


Yeah, the idea was to show some "attitude", that's why. 👍

 

[Blackbird.]

Ah, great job anyway! 👍

 

[ekmatt9]

Pretty nice for "Random Shots"

 

[spykerdriver]

Love that Dueling Alfas shot. Also the 1st SL and the Volvos.

Thanks. Those Alfas where both AI controled. I happened to follow them closely and they were throwing a really nice battle.

Thanks as well, ekmatt9. 👍

BMW Z4 @ Grand Valley Speedway

[Pebb]

Nice update but don't you think some cars in game, look a bit like there real life cars. Then some of the other cars in GT4 mate.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Ah, the Z4 looks right at home on GV. All the big shots are nice, the first and second thumbs are great, and any picture involving the bridge gets a 👍 from me. Come to think of it, the only one I'm not too fussy on is the first black/white one; all the others are exactly my tastes though.

Good update, DM!

 

[spykerdriver]

The first one and last 3 are incredibly datailed and realistic.

 

[G-T-4-Fan]

NICE UPDATE! I especially like the second and last big one. They're awsome and the second one has incredible realistic blur and detail

It took me about 5 minutes to understand what you were saying, but yes, some cars are a lot more detailed than others, unfortunately.

Come to think of it, the only one I'm not too fussy on is the first black/white one

Damn. I love that one, but I'm not certain why. Maybe, as Greycap would say, it's just because simple is beautiful. 👍

the second one has incredible realistic blur and detail

Yeah, I liked the impact of that one as well.




Thanks, guys, for your feedback. 👍

 

[Fletch]

Wow, really great Z4 pics!!!

 

[Greycap]

Probably yes, nice to see I'm being noticed here

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Hehe... just a quick note to you DM, love the avatar 👍

Simple is beautiful, I won't deny that, but for some reason I'm just not feeling that one. There's nothing wrong with it of course, it just doesn't hit me as much as the others
