Oh i see,and the Tommy Kaira shot looks nice (but i think you should put it into that competition....)And the bonus shot looks really authentic!Nice job doing the border as well,i wonder how you people make it.I would love to give it a try....
 
Nice shots - I like the photoshopped version you've made! Thats criminal what you did to that lancia...
 
A quick unpanelled update, nothing special, i couldnt even be bothered to remove stamp oh well! next update will be really good ill try my best with that

just some pics of the best looking touring car in GT4:sly: !!

i second that! - some of the alfa shots are still pretty good. The bonus shot is ace! The 1st one is cool too because of the height and angle 👍
 
lol thanks driftnewb and Zaine, i agree i like the bonus shot the most! but, i didnt think 1st one was all that good, i prefered number 2 and 3, hmm well peoples tastes can differ! Thanks for dropping by!
 
Nice shots (again), one of the coolest cars on the game, the alfa! I also agree the bonus shot is the best.
 
There are some really nice ideas going on here, I like the multiple car shots. Have you ever considered using Photoshop or something similar to increase the brightness and contrast? They look a bit dull and lifeless straight out of GT4.
 
i do use gimp, but not fully fledged if you get me, i am trying to fist get some decent shots, i am planning to make a superduper panneled gimped (because i have learnt the techniques now) picture(s) so hopefully my next one wont be one to miss!

Thanks alex aswell! i agree, its the best looking tourer around! 👍
 
woohoo it worked, ok this is a serious update this time! I thought, which manufacturer often gets forgotten, i thought hyundai, but its hard to see why, the cool slick Coupe and the Ace accord rally car, hyundai deserves a top space, so this update is about them!
Hot pictures with the coupe at monaco, and cold pictures at chamonix!
Coincidence 1) all pictures are taken in france
Coincidence 2) all pictures are taken on the cars rear-end!


Bonus Shots!
1) Photomodecomp- old europe 112

The COLD Hyundais are not your best work, namely the 2nd, you really went overboard with the hue. :lol:
1st is a pretty decent shot, but for an action shot there's not much action going on. Remember to work with the tools GT4 has in photomode.
In this case, a speed of 1/125 (the default) could work well, making the wheels appear spinning fast and motion-blurring the scenery, to get the idea of movement. also a smaller focal distance (it appears you used the 22 - max, maybe with 8 you'd still focus the entire car while already achieving a good road-blur) would focal-blur the road ahead, giving it more depth and making the shot more 3D-like. 👍

The HOT shots are way cooler, namely the 1st one. Good tones and the rims actually look good, even on photomode.
2nd shot would definitely look better without the stage spotlights coming from the rear lights. :)

I really like the contrast levels on your 300SL entry shot, also cool angle. 👍
 
Thanks beerz, about the hue, i tried to cool it down for the extreme cold look, but then again, it doesnt work aswell as leaving it, for some contrasting colours! :S Well thanks for dropping by i am slowly starting to experiment. Thanks about the 300sl!
 
I'm not confident with the panel design and hue modifications of the photos. If you don't feel good making a presentation, don't force yourself to do it. The Cold and hot appearance should be based on tone and lights (Or quick photo filters), unless you find another valid way.

1st 300SL is the best of the update for me.

well thanks for dropping by, i suppose this isnt the most popular update ive made, perhaps i should try less panelling more pure photos untill im better.

EDIT: i edited the first one so its a bit better, what do you think?
​
 
I like that Alfa color, what color is it? Flip Flop Yellow?

I think the HOT pictures are HOT btw. :)

Nice gallery. 👍
 
Wow thanks, perhaps ill stand a little chance in week 112? heh i dont think so, not with the likes of [es],NTX,moglet and alexwrc!
 
heh thanks, and an extra something, i recently tryed to do 300 mph, and suceeded today reaching 4mph over my goal using the Toyota minolta!



The proofs in the picture!
 
For some reason i think this update is my personal favourite, i think its better than all my previous ones! i just love this car, its quite easy to control, even though it looks a handful!


Suzuki Escudo V6-2500 Dirt Car

For some reason,the shot looks awesome.Just saying the name Suzuki Escudo is just like striking thunder into my heart....but i think the 3rd picture is a tad too bright,maybe you need to lower the brightness or something.....(or maybe its just me)

Thanks mate, its a great car, it may look a little plain on the headlamps, but it really does move! the third shot i think may have a little too much hue
 
Thats one awsome car. Very quick, too. It beat my F1 car and my Sauber mercedes, when I timed it on Las Vegas!!! I really like the 2nd shot, the angle is really good.
