It occured to me that I'd never taken a bike around the Kobago track circuit, at least not since once of the tour events that involved such painful things as darkness and rain. So here are some sunny shots :)

...Then followed the boundary testing run - so these are the bikes bits from that. Follow me to the 'Scenery' thread for my excursion into the surrounding countryside for some nature and agrigultural photography :lol:

Ok i get it. Where do i start if i wanted to learn this frekken photo mode magic from scratch :) Filters, action shots, posing spots etc.

Hi there - your grasp of the photo mode seems absolutely fine from what I see. Night time is notoriously tricky and the pics in your second post are good. First step for finding where to get a good picture is saving a replay. Some work from the game, just pausing it, getting the photo mode parameters they want and capturing the shot. I prefer working from a replay as you can watch it for likely moments and even rewind if you miss a particular angle. The only trouble with that is Driveclub has certain dynamic factors which respond to the game engine and so will be different each time you view it - for example: a swirl of petals or leaves might look superb the first time through, but the dynamic wind will present you with a different pattern of petals/leaves if you rewind and re-run the sequence. Lighting too can be different if you have it set to anything other than dry and clear: but it'd be no fun if it wasn't at least a bit difficult to capture what you want ;)

As for filter choice etc., that is something which is personal. Some can make certain filters do almost anything, whilst others shun them like the plague. I think the point is, work through the possibilities of each filter (strong/weak saturation, light and dark, overlays and see what you get. Time will teach you which filter is best for which lighting conditions.

Don't forget 'depth of field' (DoF: how much of the picture will be in focus and where the focus lies) or the 'field of view' (FoV: from fish-eye to extreme close-up, determining how much is to be included in the picture.) These two tools alone can make a picture completely different.

If you wanted to read up on the technical aspects of gaming photography, both the GT5 and GT6 photo mode forums have fairly lengthy explanations available stickied somewhere near the beginning. Okay, they're designed for different games but the camera part is valid for DC too.

Good luck.
 
A few more bikes shots resulting from my off-road excursions - more in the gallery via my signature link.

@FastNervana I would at a guess say he is putting it on full shutter speed 1/30s and changing the camera to 'follow' this will give that effect especially if you pull the zoom out too. I will wait to see what @Chikane does but that is what I would do for this effect. 👍

New tracks and I admit they are a lot sharper than the VR versions. It is nice to have rain and bikes too! :cheers:

Can we expect even better graphics on the ps4pro? Edit: better pictures.
