Thanks for the surge of responses people! 👍 The Spitfire always looks good in pictures, cant think why no1 else here has bothered with it before me.
Took the BMW 330i out in the torrents at Tsukuba; some of the pics have been slightly worked to add a more rainy-day and moody effect:
BTW in the last pic i reckon the Tsukuba owners should update their billboards; the MGF no longer exists and neither does the old Mini!
Here's an unlikely car on a rally course: the '66 Alfa Duetto Spider at Chamonix:

Massive photoshoot for my new baby, the giant-killing Alfa Giulia GTA Sprint, at Cathedral Rocks II. I had to pay lots of cash (namely on a 147 GTA) to get it, but i refuse to spend £425,000 on a twitchy overpowered AC Cobra 427 for the Historic Car races.
And my 690 bhp Holden Monaro, which beat the tuning car championship says g'day 👍

Dont you get it on the US version? It's not particularly special, just a Pontiac GTO with a different badge.
I think i've found the mother of all overlooked machines in GT4 💡 - the Toyota Carina ED '89, and just one look at it tells me why: FF, 113bhp stock
. However beign the ambitious tuner that I am, it will be competitive in at least one racing hall!
Here it is in a fairly light stage of tune @ Grand VAlley Speedway. Check out the body roll - that is some soft suspension! I'll wager most of these ended up as Tokyo taxis.

no i knew the monaro was basically a gto but european editions of cars just look 10x better to me. the gto is sexy but the monaro is just a little bit sexier. but yeah the us version doesnt have it. the us gets crap when it comes to features in games. sweet pics though. i tend to try to find neglected cars to. i just really dont like ff's. that car definitly has some bad body roll. keep up the good work:tup:

Herbie rides again:
My trusty Lotus Carlton, winner of many a Tuner Car Grand Prix:
GOing back to old-school GT1 now, the '88 S13 Silvia. I happen to think it suits wire wheels
The achingly pretty Isuzu 117 Coupe:
And finally, my 1974 Jensen Interceptor, tuned by DuckRacer:

Yes, we did.. The last update is quite interesting.. The car and the rims fit together very well, but the quality isn't really good.. I mean look at the first picture: The seat is , but there's a way to get it right and here we go: Zoom out from the picture as much as you can and then adjust the focus, so that you zoom in again.. Then the seat should be ok 👍 Someone once explained the whole process in his gallery with a white Impreza, but I can't remember who that was

the shot that reall grabbed me here was the rear end of the MG. looks great.
as a tip, however, you might try two things:
first, try and zoom in from as far as possible. From what I read from Magburner, GT4 has some really good scaling, and so you end up with alot less Jaggies, right off the bat! it makes the pictures look SO much better, and they need far less editing.
Also, try to up the exposure in game in you can. it generally comes out at around .2 less on a computer monitor than it's shown in game. Ex: if you want an Exposure (EV) of +.2, up it to +.4 instead. it'll come out slightly darker, and it should be just about where you wanted it.
If you do that, you don't need to add quite so much brightness and contrast. and if you don't add as much of those, you don't end up with those uneven colours like you got with the rear end of the MG. look at the pavement. the colours aren't smooth. if you didn't need to add quite as much contrast to achieve the same lighting on the car, that unevenness wouldn't happen.
overall, a good PMC styled gallery, without all the fancy effects. keep shooting, keep learning, and keep the rubber side down!

Nice update, Elstro.. I'd've said the same as tupacrulez, but it's not necessary anymore .. From the Fiat 500 shots, I like the last one most, because there's such a great contrast between the car and the background.. They match very well and the overall quality of the shots is better than last time 
The TF160 is a nice car.. You've chosen it in a nice colour and bought very nice rims for it, that fit very well to the car, but here, the pictures aren't in such a good quality ..

I've tried upping the exposure, but all it does is wash out the colour, hence why I always up the saturation. Plus in some of the photos, that high-contrast look is what I intend.
Personally I was really pleaed with how shiny and clean the Fiat 500 came out, and how well the contrast and brightness brought up the practically-hidden colour.

you got some good stuff going on here mate:tup:
You got a real good eye for a mean car don't you! Your Monaro and 2002 are just menacing and they made for some great shots.
I like the TVR (especially 1st and 4th pic) and Jag sets at the 'ring and you did a real good job starting to use effects halfway through pg4 of this thread.
Keep up the good stuff:tup:
