Some of you may know my old GT4 photo gallery of which has not been updated since my son was born two and a half years ago. Well, I have GT5 and some free time occasionally so here's the new Fish Shop!

First up: Trans Cammer

Yes, the Fish Shop has reopened! :D What a opening too, I love that first image. Crazy graphic style, brilliant composition and tone. The rain really adds to the wild feel of the car.

Really looking forward to watching your gallery, you were one of my favourites and inspirations with GT4. 👍
 
Welcome back with a nice start 👍 They look interesting, are they HDRs?
 
Wonderful pictures really like the old style feel they have ..

Thanks man! It's good to be back. I can't believe it's been so long.

No. I overexposed a bit using by pushing the EV to +5 and then did some slight editing in Lightroom. It's the fill light more than anything.

how can you do this? Can you teach? At leas some tips please.. By the way your photos amazing congrulations..
 
As amazing as ever! Your GT4 gallery inspired me endless times back in the day and this is already doing the same, you definitely haven't lost it! The last 2 photos especially are stunning and very typical of your unique and fantastic style.
 
I love the Zonda R shot.
 
Yes that Zonda Shot is awesome
 
That first lambo shot is so bold and striking! Love it!

Thanks Mog! I'd have to say that the inspiration was reciprocated =)

Is that first one a HDR shot? It looks phenomenal!

No HDR. Just some fill light in lightroom. I believe PS CS3 and up also has the fill light option.
 
Wow, absolutely LOVE those HKS shots! They have so much detail like HDR but without the usual overblown edges. I'd love to know a few tips on the processing of those two shots.

Thanks.

Both are just presets I have in Lightroom. The first one is one I downloaded from here: http://lightroomkillertips.com/2008/monday-presets-the-300-look/

The second one is a preset I made myself. I'll have to take a look at preset when I get home to see what I changed.
 
Hmm... Fill light
I think I have to check it out sometime. It seems like trying to polarize the colour to deeper black and brighter white, while the midtone has been changed slightly. Interesting though.

I am not too sure about the extreme wide angle on the Zonda R with small part being cut-off, but I really dig those white reflection on the edge and the sky tint. HKS Evo shots are really awesome. Beautiful stuff 👍
 
Really liking that first HKS shot, kind of looks like what I want to do with some of my shots when I get photoshop back, great job!

From,
Chris.
 
Wow great work!

I may have to try messing with mine and make a second gallery just for "enhanced" images.
 
Oh my!!!! Every single shot you have here is stunning!!! This last update from the HKS is soooo cool!!!! Look at that!!! :)

Well done 👍 Looking forward to see whats next on the Fish Shop :)
 
Thanks everyone.

Another update.

70 Challenger RM. Color is Something Raspberry (can't remember the exact name right now) that I got from the Mitsu electric thingy.

Yes, the fender has a dent. Adds to the realism ;)

Damn. Strong work man. I also took a look at your GT4 gallery as well. Both are great.

i'm guessing you did some ps work on your gallery? looks nice btw
 
Love it man, so rich and bold. Wish they had these settings for camera raw or photoshop as those are the only two things I have. Keep it up, always a pleasure looking at your new shots!
 
The realistic feeling is stunning!!! And the colours are very nice too!!!

Strong action shot!! One of the best I´ve seen around lately :)
 
I like the composure.
 
Your shots are just crazy awesome, outstanding.
 
Just wanted to say thanks again for the car you gave me! Really hoping to see some more updates from you!
 
Thanks everyone and sorry for the delay between updates. I have taken about 1500 photos in GT5 and processed quite a few but just haven't seemed to be able to update.

Well, that should change soon. Like now. I'll start with the schimmwagen.

How in the world does this shot not have any comments?!? Your post processing is easily one of my favorites! Such strong "HDR" style without quite going into HDR it seems. I've tried to mimic these settings but camera raw just doesn't quite get it like lightroom apparently does. Just another stunning shot man! I LOVE it! Thanks again for the F1 car last night, I got a few pics coming up shortly of it!
