great pictures! that S15 looks sick! now as for the GT-One, i like the first pic better without editing. but then again u dont really need much to make it look better. with dark colored cars, i say you experiment with filters and contrast, and balancing lighting/brightness with all these should make you a great result. try not to use curves too much. or if u do, make it the bottom of the list. just my 2 cents. overall, great gallery!
 
To be honest...I think that the non-photoshop is better. The car is "more" black in that one...and the lights have more contrast with the car...but this is my opinion mate. keep working in Photoshop, use more filters, and adjust brightness and contrast...thats the key to make your pictures stand out:)
 
Yeah, either add more contrast, or check the brightness of your screen. I use a CRT and its very bright - I can only imagine what it would look like on an LCD...
 
Difficult kind of cars to adjust. I'm agree with our forum friends, last GTone has excesive brigtness. Btw, your new flare effect is beter imo, much more real. As you said, few and short spokes 👍

I recommend downloading pixeljunkynz's GT4 Photoshop guide, its easy to follow and will improve you photos no end (it certainly did mine)

Click on the link, download it and have a read, its well worth it.

On a side note, you will find that black cars are very, very difficult to get good colour and contrast on, its why they are rarely used in real world advertising.

Thanks for the tip. Hehe the only comapny that advertises all black cars is cadillac.. I just wanted to add that as a side note.
 
The non-Photoshopped version definitely looks better IMO. It makes the car appear more like it's natural colour.
Nice pics all round though, but i think you need to tone down that lens flare style lighting effect. It looks a bit cheesy to me.
 
the s15 and gt-one look great. the only bad thing i find is that your angles are very repetitive to me. try some different angles. keep up the good work
 
Thanks for comments. And to diablo, I use repetitive angles because I like the way it looks, but Ill change it for the viewers pleasure!
 
I FINALLY fixed my game, seems it wasn't the disk. There was an error with the save, but thank god I backed it up. It all started when I noticed sim mode won't work, but arcade mode will. So I suspected it had to do with memory card, so I picked a player owned car in arcade mode and it FROZE the same way in sim mode. So all I did was switch the saves(only missing some new cars). So I will restart my gallery once I find my USB cable for psp.:ouch:
 
Holy crap man, I just saw your cars! That GTO is sweeeeeeeet! I really want one of those, although I'd rather not have silver. Is it a stick or automatic? I'm very jealous of you now...
 
Haha, thanks. Yea, I was hoping to get a black, but the 2 blacks were automatic, and the only last one(silver) was manual. So I bough it, I was to eager to drive it to wait to order one!
 
BREAKING NEWS! A stolen Nissan 350z has been reported of speeding, and "brankestanding" in the streets of NYC. Here are photoes provided by the NYPD and pedestrians.

Here are the police camera shots.




Now here are pictures from pedestrians.

(In the picture above, a tourist was crossing the street, and happened to capture the criminal on film)
(In the picture below, this pedestrian was a car enthusiast, and was just excited to see a "brakestand" on the street.)


UPDATE: After about 45 minutes the car was stopped, and the driver was the infamous racecar driver Tony Stewrat. He said he did it because he was made he didn't win his last race. After being arrested for for whopping 2 minutes his family bailed him out.
Details at 10:00.(not really)
 
Yes, it is a die hard race driver. This is all part of my plan.

My plan was to take a convertable so you can see the driver. Then take pictures like a "Light Post camera" would and like a pedestrian would. Then I would make a news report and update post later saying the suspect was caught after ... hours and say it was a ...
 
The cameras have a strange watermark on the lenses... ;)
Nice idea, although i think for the pedestrian shots you could have changed the effect of the colour or the shutter speed to look really amateur. The first one sort of does, but the 2nd one just happens to be captured perfectly!

Still, at least it's original. 👍
 
Thanks for the comment. Well I think the first one does seem like a pedestrian, because its a TOURIST... haha, I really think tourists take sooo many pictures they might end up taking one like that.
