really nice color variation for each shot
keep up your good work :)
 
Ehhhhh... nice or something :)

Just ran out of words :lol: those last three are steaming!!! :cool: :cheers: :eek:
 
Those all look really sharp Div!👍 You know I am lovin those wheels. They just have a more detailed look to them than any other wheel in the game, and that's why I love em! The shot look really nice aswell, with the soft focus and all. And I too really like your yellow tinted shot. I take it you used a gradient overlay layer? You should try adding one more color to the gradient. Kind of like this one:

4 colors, and I love the effect! I find it hard to get other colors to look good though. I made a blue one for the Wk. 13 2.0, but it just does'nt have the appeal that the orangeish yellow has. Anyways, the shots look great, and we will be looking forward to another update!:)

4 colours? I only have 2 palets.

Hmm, we must be using 2 different methods. The method I was using was layers, New adjustment layer, gradient map. And from there you can choose several different gradients, or create your own. You can come up with some wild looking effects.
 
Oh Yeah I know what you mean, I never tried that yet.

The last pic is my first try at smoke, I tried the stamp symbol tool, didn't work out too well.​
 
sorry but your last set isn't my taste but the proto set is excellent 👍 👍 👍

Sweet! The first and third Beemer is great 👍 Keep up with the exprimentation :)
 
i really like the 1st and 4th beemer pics. how do you get the first one so shiny??
 
those smoke looks like ghost or spirit
you should try to put that effect to the whole screen
so that it looks like the car racing against ghost 👍
neat effect anyhow
 
If I'm not mistaken that "smoke" on the last pic is a pattern in photoshop ;)
 
It is a pattern, I tried to apply directly with the brush but I wasn't satisfied so I tried something new.
 
Very beautiful shots. Too beautiful. Artistic. What more Adjectives can i say???
 
I think you should enter the second or third DB9. Those are amazing shots. But really, all of your shots are. :drool:
 
I think you should enter the second porsche pic, but you have to smooth out the lines from the bumpers and stuff, kinda jagged.( PD's fault) Otherwise it's great, I like the darkness of it.
(You seem to like taking pics in that place that you shot the aston martin, I see lots of pics from you there.)
 
nice stuff dude, i think the best is the first ruf though. My favorite of the bunch, GL.
 
i LOVE the db9 pics. they are freakin amazing. the cars color goes awsome with the background and the reflections look great. 👍 👍 👍
 
Jesus tapdancin' Christ. I don't want to start out with the cliche " :drool: I love your pictures so much I want to have your children.... but not in a literal sense.... wait... that doesn't make sense... and it sounded really ****ed up:nervous: ..... let me just say ur pics kick it."

Well I will say it anyway: you = pro. You realize that if you retired now, you would have a small cult following that would essentially worship you, and would probably support your existence so that you would never have to get anything for yourself again? (thus the reason for the excessive :bowdown: ) OK, maybe not that much. But I think that those same said people would donate if you had a PayPal and declared yourself a "starving artist just looking for your big opening."

Why do I like your stuff? When I look at your photos, I dont look at GT4 Photomode. I don't want to look at THE SAME EFFING STYLE of a different car on a different track, that looks pretty much the same as all the rest, except from a different angle. No. When you come to this thread, you step through the threshold into Div's world. **** reality, this is like a harmless acid trip (maybe not as potent). This is why I particuarly like Post #607 of this thread, with the BMW and Benz. The effects of the sky on the rest of the picture are spectacular. More importantly, I like the Benz: http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/923/andre015jpgedit3cy.jpg It grabs you by the crotch and says "WAKE THE **** UP!!!!!"

It's like the Benz has just warped from reality, then to Div's world, and finally back again. You have the artist touch down; it looks detailed, even though it doesn't have to look detailed. You are evoking emotions with the wild pictures, the ones that stray from detail. As one of the users here put it (Melaneimoon), the expressionist style (i.e. Munch, is it?), where the picture rips your soul out from the pores of your skin, wraps it in cellophane, freezes it, and jams it back up your 👍 . Makes my jaw hurt from dropping on the wireless keyboard everytime I see one of your pics like this.

The glossy-style Black-White is awesome, too. It's like a squeaky, shined up boot...... or maybe a glazed doughnut...... anyway, it looks stunning: http://img293.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo107edit6ux.jpg

Wow :O!

I never expected such a response to my pictures, I'm honoured to be such an inspiration, really!
 
I think it'd be cool if you leaned more toward this kind of stuff:



The dark, edgey style. The turbulant sky is also a plus. Colors like the green, gray, and yellow all together in the "headlight Mustang tunnel" picture looks like something right out of a storyboard for The Matrix, or that feeling of a "Gotham City" thing, dark evil alleyways and stuff. Kinda like the NFS: Most Wanted advertisements.

Something else are the pictures where the car is secondary from everything else. It's like "look at this classy shot and - oh, yea..... there happens to be a howling beast that was coincidentally photo'd, too." Like this:

 
good shots. since you use photoshop so heavily it would be nice to see you take out some of those jagged edges. they take away so much from otherwise great shots.

That sums everything up real nicely, great job Div. Keep working on stuff. It's great to see something new everytime. Theres always something different about your pics. You try something new, but it looks as if you have been doing it for years. Your "attempts" at things are better than our best ones. Keep it up, don't be like some people (ehem...s12ken...) that just dissapear.
