Alright, here we go with the Daimler Motor Carriage. I had the perfect place to shoot this... car... but I couldn't get there due to some up hill portions. So I picked Paris. Still took almost 2 minutes to get to where this picture was taken.

:ouch: The light, place and car seems to fit perfectly. This kind of shot is different, I guess it could be special as a theme for a competition :)

I love the lighting and the angle, but it also looks like you added some streak marks to add to the old look.
 
my jesus man!!! that's insane!!! really insane! it totally looks like it came from an RPG game. the graphics sort of reminds me of Rule of Rose, a game i've been playing for a while. i love the tone and the details on the whole photo totally capture the vintage era. i have to start using that process soon. thank you for doing the request for me ! really appreciate it!
 
Glad you liked this one guys. I wanted an old look, but without being too old... if that makes any sense. I did add some subtle streaking to the picture.

I'll try to get working on Drifts Cobra shot tonight.
 
Ok, here's drift2xs' request.


Shelby Cobra at Laguna Seca



​

And a simple TT shot:



​
 
Love the tones on the shelby shot :drool:
Really nice TT shot also!
 
I'm really digging the Cobra.
 
So...U have been busy!!
I´m gonna start with the TT shot, very simple, but quite effective, the realitsic feeling its all there, well done!!
The Daimler shot...its real good, love the "classic" look, from the colours to the background, all the work is very nicely made!!
The Cobra shot, WOW!!! Great capture, really shows the "brutal" power of the car!! Well done:tup:
Waiting for the next update, so bring it on:)
 
I wasn't sure about the Cobra shot at first but it did come out ok. The blur I put on there is a bit cheap, but effective I guess;)

I'll be working on TVR's request tonight if I get a chance. I've been suckered into facebook.com over the last few days.

BTW, thanks for getting me over 30,000 view guys!
 
Wowow, don't stop updating!!. I guess I'm starting to want a request haha.

SICK! i think i told you a long time ago that you should start doing your own online magazine :D :lol: actually, i did! your photos are just amazing! expensive magazines are what they all remind me of. keep up the great work !
 
Great to have my request, thanks C_F. I gotta comment on what I missed.

BMW Z4 in NY: Like you said, straight forward, but very nicely done. It has a very elegant feel to it with the tone and colour. Nice reflections over the car too and a good blur. Love it.

TVR Speed 12: Awesome contrast and light in that first shot, I like the blue colour too.
The second is very nice, guess like you said it would looks better with more clean up. I still think it looks good though, nice angle, reflections on the car and love the tone as always.
The third one is very cool, sweet tone and colour just like the second. The blur is a bit off like you said but that is no big deal when the shot looks that good.
Another well done artistic shot, you get good results with those shots, I have never really tried them before. All in all another superb C_F update.
The extra shot is another stunner, like the rest. The light, colour and tone are amazing. I love your work. :D

350Z Roadster: Sweet minimalist shot. I really like how the car goes from light to dark. Nice lighting and contrast. It shows the smooth look of the car compared to the rough guardrails in the bg. Looks great in b&w too.
The second shot is very well done too, you do great work at The Ring. The car looks superb, very cool angle and I also really like how you kept a little touch of colour. On the car lights, the driver and the rumble strip. Very neat touch to an already brilliant picture. 👍

Daimler Motor Carriage: Another very elegant photo, which really suits this car.... riage. :D I love your use of vignetting on your shots, always brings your attention to the center and makes them stand out more. Like the colour of this shot, gives it an old feel. Great work once again.

Cobra and TT shot: I have really been looking forward to commenting on this shot. I absolutely love it! It has to be the best shot of a Cobra I have ever seen on this shot. You have really outdone yourself. The sky looks amazing, the car looks amazing, the whole shot is so well done. I want to frame it and put it on my wall. This is definitely going to be saved to my hd. Thanks so much for the superb shot C_F. 👍
The TT shot is sweet, once again I love how you only left a few spots of colour on the image. Very cool effect which I will be sure to try out.

Like always, I am loving your work. After seeing that amazing Cobra shot, I am loving your work even more. Keep up the superb work buddy. 👍

Wow, thanks for the reviews on the recent shots Drift! For that I believe you'll deserve an extra Shelby shot!

I'm trying to work on TVR's request but I'm having trouble finding the car. I'm pretty sure it's in the Used Car II lot but I must be off the cycle for it.
 
I would love another Cobra shot if you don't mind. :D

Hope you can find the car, it can be hard sometimes. I think it is early 90's. 👍
 
Here is TVR's request.



​

This one is kinda freaky if you look close (anyone see the face?)



​
 
The first shot is really stunning Cod_Father, you have done well to work on such a hard car to work on through a piece of photo Editing software, and for that thanks Cod_Father.
 
Yeh I remember doing a request for TVR&FF of that car of course I was still a beginner then so I was still pretty rubbish at editing. You have made what I call one of the worst textured cars on GT4 look good. So I have to give you +Rep for it as well as it being a really nice shot. And that wheel shot looks like it has a face as the centre of it.......:scared:. Nice work Cod_father
 
that tvr looks so good! awesome awesome work man! i guess i'm gonna miss a lot of good updates from you, since i'll be going away for 3 weeks. ah well.
i'll try and keep in touch with gtp whenever i can. awesome work yet again!!
keep it up!

Ahh, so it was a test;) Glad you liked the shot TVR. I tried doing a shoot from a replay in Arcade mode using the car in blue and was amazed at the bad textures. I then realized I had a silver one in my garage and went with that. I have a few other shots of the car I may post up soon.

Thanks speedster! You see the face as well. I took the picture and saw it immediately (we as humans like to see patterns). Then in photoshop I just did an Auto Contrast Adjustment and it jumped out even more.

Thanks jgda. Going on vacation? Have fun whatever you're doing!
 
Awesome stuff from you once more cod! Love that tvr shot. Looks really vintage. Also the freaky shot looks cool (what is it?)

👍 👍
 
The TVR is beautiful, a great work U have made!! The contrast is so good, the shot is quite real and U did show well the car details!!
About the 2nd shot...hmmm...thats art alright:)
:cheers:
 
Thanks freddy, jeremyray and NTX:)

Here's the second TVR shot.


​
 
Another top shot from you Cod_Father.
 
Oh, It's like a God signal haha. I can see the face, nobody knows what we can find in your gallery actually lol.

I'm pleased again to see your updates. The soft look is fantastic, and I love that expression of control in every detail. Just effectiveness :)

Salu2.alexwrc
 
Great work all around, Cod.
The Cobra looks awesome, great tones, really cool.
TT Looks very realistic too, as do both TVR shots, you really are a master of realism with GT4 shots. 👍

And that face is really creepy (and it reminds me of something I can't quite recall now).
 
Thanks guys.

Here's an update for Alex (per request). Not sure if this is an actual DTM car, but this is what you're getting ;) I have a number of other shots of the car as well that I'll edit at a later time. I haven't forgotten about the second Cobra shot for Drift2Xs; I'll get that up asap.

This isn't photomode related, but I picked this up a few days ago at a Walmart. Anyone know what it is (other than being a Dodge Challenger T/A)? ;)

 
"1970 DODGE CHALLENGER T/A 340 SIX PACK CLASSIC" There you go thats what it is. Really nice shot it has a lovely tone to it. Alex I am sure will be proud. If not, well I like it...:)
