PLmatt's Photo Gallery :: Mazda Protege :: 8.4.06 :: NEW UPDATE!

identti · Mar 9, 2006

I like the stealthy/emo look. I think you did achieve it. Some of the angles are great at making the car look stealthy. Nice one.

PLmatt91 · Mar 9, 2006

PERFECT BALANCE - Thanks, I love the fourth picture also. It's my new desktop background

I got the idea from my emo-ness...lol.

Krame - I was going to try and do that blur like Rev. does...but it looked really, really bad. I like this update, but like PB told me in an IM, I wish I had more contrast into some of them...Thanks Dude.

terrymcc - Thanks, I kept the original colors of everything, I desaturated 20 and then saturated 20...I didn't want too much color in these...I mean, meaning that they are "stealthy" lol.

Vonie - You're right, nothing bad nor special, it's just an ordinary update, I want to do something better next one around. Thanks Vonie.

pain killer - Thanks yo

identti - Thanks identti. I hate being emo, but I had to do for this one :lol:

I'm in a better mood today.

FaLLeNAn9eL · Mar 9, 2006

very nice update man, im loving them all, the black on black look is awesome man! keep it up!

mprata · Mar 9, 2006

I liked it. Simple and clean.(#9 ROCKS)

PLmatt91 · Mar 9, 2006

FaLLeNAn9eL - Thank you FA, but it's not black on black...it's dark blue on black

mprata - Haha, thanks yo.

Here's a preview for tommorow's update. Note : This image is un edited

JFM92_GTRacer · Mar 10, 2006

Please tell me you're not an emo Matt...PLEASE!!! Hope not...
Well if not then the update is sweet. I love shots near the rocky part of the track, but u didnt have so much there :lol:

Anyways still good.

lmracer - Thanks lm, but what about the calenders??

you should make a calendar with 12 hi-res shots and photoshop in months. you know how car calendars have the car name and the month written on the pic? that would be entertaining

btw cool aston pics.

PLmatt91 · Mar 11, 2006

JFM92_GTRacer - Haha, I'm not emo, that's the last thing I want to be besides the "Gangsta" type. I'm more of a, "Dress how ever, act how ever, be how ever" you want kind of guy

Thanks for the comment. That's my favorite shot also.

lmracer - Nah, I can't do it. Too much work and plus, I don't own a calender... :lol:

I'm glad you like the Aston Martin pics.

I'm gonna post the new update in about 2 - 10 mins

PLmatt91 · Mar 11, 2006

Update 10

Audi A3

Eh, not my best work...I'm still a bit rusty in PS again...But I hope you all enjoy it.

identti · Mar 11, 2006

Nice stuff here, although Motegi definately benifits from bright cars as I found out when I used a black BMW 330i. Still there are some excellent shots - 2, 5, 6, 11, 15 and 16 are my favorites.

Vonie · Mar 11, 2006

Nice, Matt. Some of your best.
I really like the wheels and the feel of the pics.

Dick Steel · Mar 11, 2006

Very nice 👍 keep it up!

PLmatt91 · Mar 12, 2006

identti - Thank id. I am satisfied with some pics, though not all. I'm glad you like 'em

Vonie - Some of my best? Really? I thought I'd get some negative comments on this one. Is it because you like this track??

I love these wheels on that. I wanna do a VW IV update with those wheels, but I gotta wait a couple updates for that. Thanks dude.

Dick Steel - Thank you DS

FaLLeNAn9eL · Mar 12, 2006

FaLLeNAn9eL - Thank you FA, but it's not black on black...it's dark blue on black

ur kidding? it looks almost black to me, mayb i need my eyes checked :ouch:

PLmatt91 · Mar 12, 2006

Maybe they do?

lol, just kidding. Yeah, I did higher contrast and lower brightness to achieve that look

Thanks man.

pain killer · Mar 12, 2006

the last 3 pics in the 1st row of thumbnails and the 2nd pic in the 2nd row are my favorites. i really like the rims you chose for the car. 👍

Krame · Mar 12, 2006

Very nice. Almost any pic can llok good at that track. The lighting is perfect. Anyways, I like the first ans third rows.

PLmatt91 · Mar 12, 2006

pain killer - Those were some of my fav's, but not all. And those rims, well, they're sexy

Thanks PK

Krame - Thank you

PLmatt91 · Mar 12, 2006

Update 11

BMW M3

This set really sucks because of the wheels. I saw 440Chargers red Viper (His latest update) and I got inspiration because of that shot, I even set it as my desktop :lol:

But I was no where close to his work in these pics. Vonie has told me what 440 said for his tutorial about the wheels...So the next update will be big and good imo. Don't go too hard on me because of the wheels!!

speedy_2 · Mar 12, 2006

Great Update. But yeah those wheels :crazy:

But, the rest looks good. Love the motion and the reflections. 👍

olm_2003 · Mar 12, 2006

Nice pics. I like the 1st one the most. The rest are good too.

mprata · Mar 12, 2006

I liked it

. The weels... yes they are kinda weird and a bit crapy, but the pictures on itself are awsome really.👍

FaLLeNAn9eL · Mar 12, 2006

very nice work man! great work with the motion blur the quality is superb! keep it comming

Krame · Mar 12, 2006

Its pretty good. Did you use the wheel trick and 440's blur tutorial.

PLmatt91 · Mar 12, 2006

Whoa! Comments already? :lol:

speedy_2 - Thanks man. I know the wheels suck, I'm gonna do 440Charger's Tutorial next time around

olm_2003 - The first one was the trickiest one for me. It's when I first started to do the wheels and the first time I figured out what to do :lol:

Thanks.

mprata - Thank you very much. I like the third picture the most myself, but I rather have them look a lot better the next time around. I'll try and redo this update in the future.

FaLLeNAn9eL - Thanks man. The quality, I know, it's awesome. I put the softening and bluring all the way this time :lol:

There were a lot of waves in the paint so I tried getting those out the a lot.

Krame - Thanks dude. And no, I haven't done 440's tutorial yet. I'm gonna use it on my next update (Hopefully on Wednesday)

DuckRacer · Mar 13, 2006

The wheels look ok, but the rest of each photo looks superb.

terrymcc · Mar 13, 2006

Great stuff man 👍 top notch

PLmatt91 · Mar 13, 2006

Duċk - Thanks man. I know you've a couple of these before I even posted them, but I'm still glad you like 'em.

terrymcc - Thanks yo.
