fabulous foto funtime with keito (Update 12/11: Ferrari F40) [Image Heavy]

[keito]

Hello everybody, like so many people who have registered here in the past week or so, I am here to bombard your face with my terrible photos. Photo Mode is my favorite aspect of this game, so I plan on sticking around. Of course, criticism is welcome since I'm under no illusion of being God's gift to pretend car photography or anything. Like the title suggests, I'm pretty lighthearted and easy-going.

Whoops, didn't know the thread would have to go through an approval process. Anyway, pics. What better way to start than with PD's favorite car ever? This location is definitely my favorite of the new Photo Travel spots so far, too.

I kept them small for ease of viewing and posting (no one likes clicking thumbnails) but I can provide 1080p on request if someone really wants a pic in high res.

Buoyed by the overwhelming response to my first gallery, I quickly ran off and did another series. This is Lotus's first all-new project since the legendary Elise, the Evora. Honestly, I never quite liked how the Elise looked, but the Evora really does it for me. It helps that it's so much fun to drive, too.

I'm quite happy with how these turned out, but constructive criticism is more than welcome!

Will anyone ever respond to my thread? It is a mystery. Anyway, not much of an update today, I just kind of wanted to show off my Italia which I bought yesterday. Shots of this car are pretty common around here, but I've painted mine Matte Dark Grey and given it these loud yellow rims. I call it the "Stealth Fighter" because it reminds me of one. Stealth fighters don't have bright yellow wheels though

On today's episode of "keito posts pics for no one in particular and talks to herself" I've done something a little bit more interesting...

But what happens when you make it angry?

1080p on request. 'Til next time, all zero of my viewers.

Hey Keito! It sure is quiet on some of these galleries... I'd thought I would give you some love!

Most of these pictures came out great! I love the Lotus, especially the shot of the badge. Two things strike me as off in a few of the pictures though:
1) Make sure the focus is on the car. A few of the pictures have the car blurry; they would look a lot nicer with the car nice and sharp. AF on the car and then recompose your shot.
2) A few of the Fairlady Z photos are fairly underexposed. Try bumping up the exposure a little!

Good work buddy!

@knihc2008: Yeah, I was going for "menacing" with the black Z but they ended up being a little too dark. I'd bump up the brightness in Photoshop but I keep getting an 'unexpected end-of-file' error or something. meh. Thanks for the feedback!!

So, new gallery. I found this beauty in the used car lot and I couldn't help but clean her up and take her for a spin. Yeah, my first attempt at photographing a Standard car. I think they're OK, it's an interesting challenge, at least, to find angles that don't make the car look completely terrible.

And there's only one place the old Lancia Stratos belongs...

There we go, nice and dirty.

The Ferrari F40 has been one of my favorite cars ever since I was a little kid. It was one of the first cars I bought in Prologue, and I've purchased one in GT5 too. This one is better, though... Because I can photograph it!
(Y'all need to leave me some comments, there are getting to be way too many images on this page!)

Oooops... That's not going to be cheap.

First white F40 looks nice. 👍
