Very nice pictures. Just letting you know that you really should put a couple of pictures per post instead of a picture for each post.

ashes...:ouch: yeah mate.:)

I really like your 908 too, I feel a little more capture of motion could push it even further.

The mercedes is great too although for me personally its too cool coloured, (thats just my taste though).

Thanks for the feedback 👍

@ashes619 - I did mean to do that, but I'd already posted a few photos before I realised.

@R. S - I know what you mean, personally I feel it's too overexposed.
 
I think I have seen them shots before ;)
Stunning pictures there. There is a great deal of detail in all the shots. I just got to ask though. Are they edited?

The background is really cool. Is it smoke or rain?
 
@ashes619 - Thanks! They are lightly edited; the orginal photos were taken with cross-processing filter and +3 exposure, then in PS I just did a quick autocolour which increased the blue up a bit.

@kaede - Thank you, it's a little while since I did that photo, but from what I can remember the photo was taken with a Sepia filter in the rain with the brakes on. Then in PS I think I added a new filter (posssibly an orange diffuse glow, but not sure). Then I just used the smudge tool to exaggerate the spray.

@SMfan - thanks, I entered it into CCCL a few weeks ago. It didn't do quite as well in the poll as I hoped, I think maybe with other images around it, it can look a tad washed out. Which is why I like it, but doesn't help it to stand out! :indiff:
 
These are the two photos which I narrowed it down to for my final entry for this weeks 2.0 comp (theme - All Europe, All the time!). In the end I went for the photo on the left.

Your Lexus set is :drool:... I like all the shots so far, your vignetting might be a tad overdone in a couple but the pics are still great. Good start and good comp entries too:tup:
 
Cheers! Thanks for the feedback too, I'll take it on board. Funnily enough I spent the least time on the Lexus shots, and very little editing; probably a sign of a good photo.
 
My favorite is probably the LMP with the wild colors and background, though I also really liked the Swift CCCL entry 👍 There was pretty tough competition that week though, I was one vote away from making it a 4 way tiebreaker! The narrow angle really captured London perfectly.
 
I think the 908 gets a lot more attention as the background really lifts if off the page, particularly if you compare it to something like the Swift :)
 
Thanks, I like it too but its a little bit patchy around the vignette around the rear wheels which sort of persuaded me to go with the other one.

I bought the Autobacs ARTA race car earlier and spent a little bit of time doing some edits with it earlier. The light spectrum photo takes a bit of inspiration from bmxmitch's RUF set, although I've had to downsize it a little as it was around 17000 pixels wide :boggled:
 
Great gallery! Love the Peugeot 908 and Merc CLK GTR shots. 👍

That rain shot is pretty cool too.
 
Thanks! I've updated the rain shot now by adding a trail from the rear tyre and some splashes to the road surface. Still a work in progress :D
