Hey thanks alot, sometimes them reflections will work out better than others, and I think I got lucky on that one. Thanks again for looking and leaving a comment!
 
Wow, Great stuff bro. I really like the Tuscan shot, the cars fit that filter perfectly 👍. Can't wait for the next update :cheers:

EDIT: Sick reflections on the Copen as well 👍 👍 👍
 
More More More MORE!!! :lol:. Can't wait for next update obviously so I think I'm gonna do an "appie" and drool a bit :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
 
Thanks alot for the comments guys. As you know they mean a ton to me! Its been a while since I had a "regular" update, so I sat down and finally took a series of shots. I should have the complete update up tomorrow, but for now I'll just post a little preview :) .

Tommy Kaira ZZII

Thanks for stopping by guys! 👍
 
Nice shots for the competitions man. I really loved the Z4. Sadly it didn't make the poll.

The ZZII is also nice, but the picture is too soft for me...

Keep it up!
 
Can't wait for this one. The only thing I suggest is to drop the grain down so you get a radiant, soft glow. But it looks awesome.
 
The Copen pic is nice and shiny, and I like the TVR pic too. The ZZII preview looks good too. I look forwards to the update. Good work. 👍
 
I saw your gallery for the 1st time and I loved it. I guess you had already had experience with photoshop before posting this pictures right?:sly: Although some pictures are a bit overdone :indiff: (just mine opinion). The Charger update is 5 * (the best set I think) and the the picture with the 2 TVR is the best solo picture of your gallery.
Keep them comming!

:cheers:

Update 3/04/06​

Not my best work at all in my opinion, some came out good, some came out ok, just one of those shoots. I had to go a bit soft on some just cause the jaggies were terrible on some of the pics. I just wanted to get an update out there. So hopefully you guys will find a couple you enjoy.

Thanks again for all the comments guys, and freddy I liked my Z4 pic too, I don't think anyones Z4 got in did they?





A bit of blurring on this one


There it is. I promise my next one will be better! Next update maybe more in the quality than quantity aspect.

Thanks for looking guys!
 
Nice angles, setting, car positioning, and car....However I'm not feeling the glow. I'm pretty sure it was a bit overkill with whatever you used to glow/diffuse the shots. I like to see a balance of glow/reflections. Please don't take it personal..Simply anothers perspective. :cheers:

Edit*: Read top of post before your photos because I missed it first time, try throwing a Gaussian Blur on the photo with about a 0.4 Pixel Radius, then go in with the smudge brush on 5%-8% strength and clean up wheel wells, hood lines, air scoops, etc.
 
Thanks for the tips, streetz. Sometimes photos will work with you and sometimes they work against you. I think this set worked against me. Oh well, onto the next shoot. Thanks for checking them out. Hopefully an update tomorrow with some better pics.
 
very nice update man!
the reflection and colors came out very nice in the first and sixth thumb. i really like the framing u have in some of the pictures, especially the chase scenes. those are amazing! about the glow, i feel that it looks nice but u are over using it just a little bit. it makes ur pictures look desaturated and the colors arent as rich. try turning down the opacity on them to fix it ;) other than that im really loving ur update man, keep up the good work 👍
 
Tommy Kaira ZZII is looking good. cool shots. Nice battle pics, great sensation of speed on that ones. Give us more men, keep up!!
 
Thanks for the comments guys, even though that was a pretty weak update. I'm alot more confident in the one I'm working with this time. There are alot, so it will probably be posted tomorrow.
Heres a little preview.

Proto Spirra​

I must say I'm very pleased with them reflections. Especially on the tail light.

Comments welcomed and appreciated. Thanks guys 👍.
 
The preview looks great, beautiful reflections. I can only imagine the final work. :)
 
NTX-thanks, i'm really pleased with alot of the reflections this update brings.

PLMatt-thats what I was really aiming for on this one, NO PESKY JAGGIES!

Steetz-thanks a ton man, seems I can always count on ya for stopping by 👍
 
I kinda like the ZZ-II, some good angles.
The Proto is lookin' good, too. Can't wait for the rest.
 
Thanks Vonie, thats about the only thing I do like about the ZZ, I did get a few good angles. Stay tuned 👍
 
the engine compartment lid and the roof line of the first ZZII pic are amazing. awesome reflections to boot. BUT... the spirra looks awe inspiring. cant wait
