I'm game :)

I don't consider the lack of Photoshop a detriment to your gallery's popularity. Well, okay, a small one, and I know I use it, but the pictures have to be fundamentally right, or even Photoshop can't save them. You have quite a few good pictures on your page, I think the main reason nobody had checked it was because you didn't give a preview (which you've now fixed). Galleries are obviously a visual medium; text doesn't do a whole lot for people ;).

Some of my favourites:


My only criticism would be placement. In the example of the Renault hitting over the cones, I love the wave of the cones and the bit of blur in the picture. But it's a bit boring because of the car being placed right in the middle. If you would've panned the camera up a bit, putting the car into the lower 1/3 of the picture (or you could crop the empty tarmac out), it would add some dynamics to the image. This is of course, just my opinion :)

Keep it up 👍

I really like that one, makes we want to hop in that car and throw it around some corners.

Your pictures (like that one) could benefit from some light PS work like I do, but mainly like the guy above me said it's all about composition. The bulk of your photos are centered on the car and zoomed away at the same distance. That's rather boring.

I'm glad to see my Nissan R92CP isn't the only car equipped with a cone missile (reference to your Renault 5 Turbo hitting the cones, and to a shot in my gallery)

i have photoshop but wouldnt use it for gt pictures, whats the point, most of the ones ive seen today look really bad in my opinion, not the 'placement' just the whole overexposure done with ps and colour changes, there are enough tricks in gt to sort most situation its just a matter of playing about with angles etc as you probably know, it must be a uk thing to not muck about with the pics.

cropping the tarmac out would make it half a picture in my opinion and i make my pictures to frame the car, every car is not always in the middle of the picture, just depends how much adjustment is allowed within the angle i am shooting from, if i cannot raise it cos of being one of the static cams i am screwed but take the pic anyway and make the best of it wether blurred for speed or whatever.

some of the pics that people have commented on today i have actually laughed that people have liked them, true, ive done some crap but i have learnt and probably the person involved has had little experience or cant grasp it, but why use photoshop before perfecting the photo mode itself is confusing me, get the angles and effects perfected then muck about with it. must be my brit brain eh :scared:

spud, thanks for your input, i will post a ps'd pick now :)
