Here are some of my pictures.

I am going to enter the Photomode competitions, I've noticed that to get one good picture for the comp I take 2 x dozen in the process.

So I may as well use the extras as a Photoshop practice.

My first posts are of the car I actually own, a Peugeot 206 GTI 180

Racing in the snow, I did some work on smoothing the paint to show up the reflections.

These last two are big joined images

Comments or suggestions welcome :)
 
Funny how that works, take 20 shots, and have 3 useable shots. Then pick from those 3...

1st, 6th, and 7th are my favorites out of those.

Nice start.
 
The fifth one down showing the rear end of the car and the sun through the trees would look awesome if you had the whole car there. Can you show me an un-cropped version of that picture with as much as possible of the car showing? Maybe just make the foreground a little darker to make the sunlight at the top the major presence in the photo too.

The reason I didn't show the front end of the car was due to how it looked. The car was under heavy braking, the GT4 model is a little unrealistic for the car that way and the front of the car looked as if the suspension had collapsed. The wheels were buried up into the wheel wells.

But I wanted to capture the fire flashing out of the exhaust so I used it.

So I chose to avoid showing the front, but then showing just the back of the car exiting the frame was a little odd. Which would be why you asked.

But in truth thanks for asking as it's all part of the learning process.
 
Some large Panoramic of Paris. So they're BIG files

A little plain I guess.

But don't worry, these were just test images. The serious attempts will be posted soon.

Black car at night!

Some more, night racing pictures.

The car is the Amuse S2000. I chose to get an all black one, it looks cool. I call it "The Shadow".

Looking at these images now, the thumbnails look really dark, yet when I open the images they look how I want them too.

It's a catch 22 situation I 'spose.

I see, I just really like the way the sun shines through the trees in the background and on the car.
 
New images.

I tried to get some good panoramic images using some image stitching software that came bundled with a graphics program I use.

So I chose Grand Canyon Rally track, some very good scenery there.

I wanted a BIG JUMP . . . so I used my most powerful and fun Rally car. Peugeot 205 T16

The third one from the spectator's view and showing that other guy taking a photo really has something special to it. Plus the airbourne ones, can't go wrong in mid-air :dopey:
 
Some of the regular sized shots I got while doing the Pano experiment above.

I used the same photoshop filters and effects as the pano ones, but with higher settings. I wanted to impart a feeling of it being dry, hot and dusty.

These last two are:



1st: After landing the big jump of the pano shots.
I did a wheelstand due to the force of the rebound ( and horsepower! )




2nd: The huge drift and slide at the next corner.

​
 
the first set looks pretty good, the last one would of been awesome if the whole car was taken instead. the first rallye car shot would look good with some zoom blur, good work man.
 
My latest update:

Cadillac CIEN driving (at speed - I was trying to set a personal best) around Nurburgring.

The wing package is from GT Auto. Looks great, like it is built for the car. Also helps with the handling.


CIEN at Nring - flying lap!
