Really nice. My fav is the b&w Enzos. :D

Thanks JvM! I like that one as well.

I like the second shot.

Interesting - I like the angle and composition, but felt the colors were a little bit much. In fact, it was the one I liked the least out of all the photos. Out of curiosity - what is it you liked about that one?

uMadson?
Epic shots as always, your style is the exact style I'm at. Coincidence? I think not. :lol:

But the one I like best is the one with a completely white background. Gotta love Photoshop...

Actually, the only thing I did with the Enzo in the white background was enhance the red and add a vignette. It is the same picture as this one, but with EV at +5:

This is awesome.

Thanks arsenal. See my explanation above. This was nothing more than an EV of +5 and a vignette.

This is a set I did with the '69 Camaro SS at Toscana for the latest CCCL competition. I'm not a big comp guy as you know, in fact, I think this is only the second one I have entered. Anyhow, these are the leftovers that I did not use. My favorite is the last photo. I was torn between that one and the one I entered. I hope you like them! :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words and comments. Here's a small set with the Lexus LFA. I took a few more pictures that no amount of editing would have helped - Poly Dig gave Cape Ring a nice smoggy hue along the skyline that looks authentic, but not desirable. I never noticed Mt. Fuji on Cape Ring until I ran the track specifically for taking photos. That was a nice surprise. Be sure to click on them.

Very nice set and the teaser is teasing me :D. The LFA is one of the best cars in the game for photograhping IMO. PD did and exceptional job on it.
 
I really like the last LFA photo (I don't normally like photo's where only part of the car can be seen), the bonnet's reflection really sets it off.

Wow, stunning! I love the first shot of the LFA, that's a really nice effect you've got going there 👍

Thanks Todd - I liked that one too. I was surprised to find Mt. Fuji in the background as well.

Thank you Nato. There definitely is a difference between the quality of rendering PD did on each of the cars, even among the premium models.

Thank you Richard. I usually try to keep the whole car in the picture as well. (I didn't on a couple previous Ferrari Enzo shots, but they were an exception...) If I remember correctly, there was a problem with composition on this one that I couldn't get right without cutting out the left side. Although I closed the aperture to blur the ring, I felt the underside of the road was just as important to the feel of the photo as the car itself. It looks like a spaceship. :dopey:
 
The McLaren F1 was a nice ride. I'm a terrible driver on the Top Gear test track, but I wanted the wide open spaces for this car. I'll have to take this one out to Nurburgring to see how she really flies...

Teaser! (My first photos of a "standard"...)

Love the birds eye effect on the McLaren, my favoutire is the 4th, it has really nice lines 👍

I'm hard pressed to believe that's a standard in your teaser :lol:

By the way, if you're truely trying to tease everyone into waiting for the rest, might pay to not link the whole gallery ;)

Hah! It's really only for people that don't go the extra step... :sly: Thanks for the visit and comments todd!
 
Really nice. 👍 I especially love #4. That Speed 8 is looking damn fine - you've done a great job with the 'standard', I can't wait to see what else you produce with that beast. I had fun with the Bentley on my set awhile back. :)
 
Wow, 3 and 4 are amazing, great work :drool: :drool: 👍 👍 Looking at this update made me realize I haven't updated in ages
 
A smile comes to my face whenever someone gets to crack the rule of thirds precisely. Especially with the recent 3 sets. Missed some sets, but still, I like your shots.

Thanks Nato. I remember that set. You did a great job in the rain shots. Also, LeSarthe is a natural setting for the Speed 8. There are definitely some quality differences within the standards. I think the Bentley is a little better rendered than others. The Spyker, for example, is atrociously rendered, whereas the Bentley and BMW M3 GTR have a little more detail.

Thank you Skython. I was wondering when you were going to update yours! :sly:

You've really caught the idea of speed with those Bentley shots, and I love the angles 👍
This is fast becoming a must see thread
 
Great sense of speed there in this update, great work :drool: 👍 Makes me regret not buying the Bentley when I had the chance :indiff: Which means you've done well 👍 :drool: 👍 :drool:
