The car didn't really need the noise imo, makes the car a bit looking uncleaned. But, the blurs are excellent and the way you preserved the smoke rocks!

Thanks Ray. I actually added the smoke into the shot as the blur took away what little smoke was actually in the shot. :)

Great updates, all.

Charger - POWERFUL shot. the overall tone of the shot, and the way you got the chromed parts looking is superb, even without the cleaning I find it just gorgeous to look at. Nice work on the background too, making the car stand out even more.

Spirra - Looks like something we would see in a dream - we can't reach it :) .
I like the way you made the entire car dark, and even the brighter parts are somewhat dark. In fact, the brighter parts are the rimes, mostly due to their color. The softness suits it well too.

Audi - You never cease to amaze me with how real you make some of your shots look. It's just beautiful! The subtle magenta tone on some parts really add to the overall feeling of the shot.
Only the smoke's color, like you said, is not up there with the rest of the image, but I'll let it slide this time... :crazy:

Thanks for taking the time to make a small write up on each shot. The charger and spirra shots were from quite a few months back and I decided to revisit them. I had tried doing something with them before but didn't succeed. This time I'm happy with how they came out:)

Love the Charger pic.. Very Old Skool!👍
As the RS6 avant is one of my most favourite cars of all time, and you'd expect that i would love this update and i do but not for that reason i love the overall low jaggieness on the shot (apart from the front wheel) and the tyre smoke is great:tup: the blur on the road is great also!👍

Thanks Tommi:)

Personally I don't like these 3 latest pics so much like other previous works, but they have a C_F style all around :D

Sorry to disappoint alex;) Hope you like this new update:D




Mitsubishi CZ-3 Concept.

What a fun car to drive in stock form. Quite easy to control and is prone to some extremely fun oversteer when thrown into the corners:D I may use some of the other shots I took of this car tonight in future updates.


​
 
looking good C_F!!! Thats really a fun car to take a drive, and its one of my favourite Mitsubishi cars. I like the camera a lot, very good quality also.
Just keep up mate, and try to enter the next Photomode Tournament (which will be hosted by me, c´mon:))
:cheers: mate
 
Nice work! 👍 good angle (little different, I like it) and a nice realistic look :cheers:
 
I really like the use of angle on that car.
 
Car looks really good on that one, Cod.
I think the angle choice was a good one for that kind of shot, and considering the car's silhouette.
I noticed you (apparently) didn't use a filter on this one, it looks like color on shot is all GT4 color.
Good tones, good blur, perhaps missing just a bit more blur on the fence so it doesn't seem so still, considering it's not that far away from the road itself.
 
A very nice shot which is at a good angle, the car is very clean and the scenery is clean and well detailed.👍

And as i found out yesterday this is a very fun car to drive!:lol:

Another great shot!👍
 
Thanks for the comments guys. Beerz, I didn't blur the fence as much as it messed up the sky behind it when I did:)

These aren't as good as the above shot, and I like the second one more than the first, but here they are anyway. Might take the CZ-3 to another track tomorrow some time.



​
 
Very nice RS6 shot, loving the drift. Perfect angle for a drift shot too and as always I love the colours.
The first CZ-3 is awesome C_F, the sky looks so good. Great angle and lighting to boot.
I also really like the other two CZ-3 shots, I should have a go in that car. It looks fun. I love the tone and mood your shots convery, especially in the second CZ-3 shot. How do you get them looking like that?
Superb as always C_F, I am loving your gallery more and more with every update. Keep it up buddy. 👍
 
the first pic on post 1147 has to be my favorite. but dont get me wrong, they all look great. the first one has a really nice angle to it too. well done cod!
 
You really make sweet shots of the CZ-3!!! This new update looks even better than the 1st one. I love the colors on the 1st shot of this new update, really amazing. The soft looking of the 2nd one gives a very realistic feeling to the shot.
Well done C_F!!! More updates please:)
 
I still can remember the marvelous Solstice, so it's normal the CZ3 doesn't look so nice in your gallery. This last batch is failiure-free again, so I'm glad to see the quality detail every time I visit your galley. I love the atmosphere change of 2nd photo, and the nice work over the fender reflections of 3nd one. The sky is also great, very smooth so I guess you could have fixed it.

Salu2.alexwrc :D
 
Of these last two shots, I prefer the 2nd.

1st is looking good (as always), with a different environment than the previous, but I liked the other shot's angle better.

2nd of this last batch is just wonderful. I love the reflections, and the way you managed to clean the car without losing any of their detail, and the lighting of the shot, which goes very nicely with the angle chosen. 👍
Also, the fact that the background is a bit more blurred than on the other one (the fence thing) really adds a lot to the shot's overall sense of action.
Are those the stock rims? They look sweet.
Gotta buy that car, see what I can do with it, looks very well textured.
 
The first shot is great:tup: the smoothness of the car really shows in this shot:tup: it is great it looks as if it has been taken of a promotional video:tup:
The second shot is very clean also, the reflection of the light is great:tup: i do not like this shot as the first but it is still great:tup:

Very Very nice shots:D

No mog, they are the chunky PD wheels :(

Anywho, onto the next update. I'm not 100% happy with this one. It started out ok and then I couldn't get the door sills to clean up properly. Instead of getting frustrated and throwing it out I decided to just finish it there.

I like this, you did a pretty good job on this one.
 
On the 2 colt shots, i love the colors in the first and especially the soft tone/blur in it. Good job.
 
Very nice pictures man. The 2nd of the 2 CZ looks very very good. A bit purple'ish. It lets the picture have a slightly different but important touch to it. It looks much better with that little feel to it 👍

A gallery to check more often I see :)

I totally agree^^
 
Thanks for the comments guys:) I didn't do any cleanup on the second and third CZ-3 pictures. The rims aren't stock, but I can't remember for the life of me which one's they are.

I'll try to get around to doing another update today sometime.
 
Wow CF! Your latest stuff is great. You are for sure one of the best around these parts. I really like you vinetting and "dark" style. That Audi shot is really nice. And the CZ-3 Tarmac shots are great. Keep up the good work, I will be looking forward to more updates!👍
 
I agree with 440, these are really nice. They have a very good "realistic" feel to them while still maintaining a dreamy style. Great work!!
 
That rs6 shot is really very nice! Love the smoke you added. Also the last shots are great. The best one imo is the 2nd shot. What a nice angle, blur and colours. Keep up the good work.

Thanks freddy:)

I tried cleaning up the reflections on this one and then desaturated the background almost completely and a little bit on the car. Overall I like this shot.

That is a very nice piece on such a rare piece of car goodness.

Agree. My grandpa gave me a 1/18 model of this car for my 6th birthday, so it's a special car to me. Hope you've got more of that car:)
 
Another beautiful and elegant shot from you C_F. I absolutely love your work and that car too. Superb blur and I really like the unsaturated look. Keep it up. 👍

Also, how do you do your vignetting on your shots. I have done it quite a few times but yours always looks very well done. Whats you secret? :D

Look forward to your next update.
 
Love it man, great desaturated look and vigntting.
Drift i think it's just a matter of applying lots of feather.
 
Thanks guys, glad you liked it. Now that I have a night's sleep I'm liking it even more;)

As for the vignette, I just use the lens correction filter and adjust the vignette.

I used to do it with the lasso tools with feathering set to 80 px or so, circle the shot, hit inverse selection and adjust the levels to darken the outside. That's a good way to get a vignetting that isn't symetrical (my pontiac solstice shot used it that way).
 
Wow! This is one smooth piece of art you made man. Again a very high quality update from you. Love the reflections all over the car. Is this NY? Because the reflection below the mercedes star looks a bit like the column you can find at opera paris... 💡
 
Nice work (as always) 👍 nice combo of old style and modern sharpness, you´ve captured a nice sort of "glow" from from the car. I like it a lot :cheers:
 
great shot. the light reflecting off the car really adds to the the greatness of the shot
