I like the new update, but the 787B panel is awesome! Brilliant presentation as well as superb shots 👍
 
Haha, The Hunting of the Snark. Do you have that CD? My Dad does, I remember listening to it a lot when I was younger. It's a good CD, funny too. :)

Anyway, on to the shots. I agree with alex, the lighting is very well controlled. Both shots have superb shine on the car, makes the car look metallic.
The car looks sweet too, very clean and smooth.

Great work as usual C_F, keep it up. Look forward to what comes into The Fish Shop next. 👍

LOL, and what a shark. Top notch lighting maaan, that's awesome. It's very gratificant to my eyes watching so controlled and reallistic lights. You used probably the most challenging car painting ing GT4: a metallic one.

I love the control you perform in all you images lately, and this as you said, is one of the best I remember. Well, there are cars more beautiful and that, but both images are technically brilliant.

I don't know if the 1st pic was taken with a moderate shutter speed, so you decided to blur a little the rims. I have the feeling they have a subltle offset, like they were blurred in PS (Or their lighting is getting me mad lol).

More please :D

Thanks alex. I took the shot at 1/4000th and the wheels in two other shots at 1/60th. I added a motion blur to the road and guardrail and a less intense blur to the background. The back wheel was a bit strange though and I'm not sure why. It didn't appear to have the right perspective for some reason. They are TRD wheels though...

I really like the jump and the shot in the last shot.

Thank TVR:)

The lighting is brilliant like alex mentioned, but the color tone is very well adjusted. Good stuff 👍
For the 787B, all shots are excellent but it would be even nicer to include 1 or 2 back-end shots

Thanks franz:) I tried getting some decent shots of the back of the 787 but none of them came out very well:(

Thanks Tangled Web (every time I see your name I think of the saying, "Oh what a tangled web we weave... ;)) I read the poem a long time ago and thought it appropriate since I was doing nonsensical things in a Tiburon:D

I was inspired to take some seattle shots after seeing Moglet's VW entry in one of the comps. I picked the Tiburon because it's a car one doesn't see too often on here:)
 
I LOVE the Tiburon shots. The lighting on them is perfect and extremely realistic.
 
They're both very good, but 1st shot is just awesome. 👍

Like said, the lighting is wonderful, you made the car look very metallic and keeping the paint job very natural.
Also, great work on the tones of the background, as well as the blur, which is very smooth looking, and resembles a lot like a mild gt4 blur (which is a good thing :))
 
i see car abuse! hahaha. loving the lighting on both shots! i'm out of words really. all i can say is they look great.
 
just baught a Tiburon my self, im not a fan of them but a nice car though.
 
Great pics of the 787B. 👍 The sound of that car in the vid is amazing. 👍
 
Score one for the shark:D Thanks guys. I'll try to have a small update up soon and there is a larger one coming.
 
Very nice car choice, yes it is...Tiburon power!!!
The shots are as usual great, with very nice quality, very nice colours...both shots are also quite real, well done!!!
So...bring more soon ok?!
:cheers:
 
Just some misceranious shots (yes, I know I spelled a word wrong there;))


Lowtuss


Pesky Rolo

BTW, for those on Facebook, why not join the gtplanet group:D
 
Uhm, I love the Pesca Rollo LOL! Highly reallistic I can say. The car surface is so fresh and neutral... great pic man.

The esprit is alright maybe the car is too black and under shadow
maybe you want to express stealthy theme 💡
The Prescarolo looks great! I always like B&W background style
I spot a curvy yellow line on the road
if you can keep the colour and extend it to the out-of-focus foreground will be one fantastic shot
 
i cant see the lotus shot, but the pesky shot is cold, but it's nicely done. just like a fresh pint of beer :D jk. i love the bw background, and the car looks so real and crisp. awesome work man!

edit: i can finally see the lotus pic. another nice one, though the pic could benefit from a little more lighting. but it still looks good otherwise. is the smoke from gt4 or did you add it on yourself ?
 
2 nice shots I must say. The angle on the lowtuss is really cool. Makes the drift look really well.
The pescy rollo shot is really cool with the ground looking blurred like that. But for my tastes it's a bit too soft.

cheers
 
Thanks guys:) The shots were just meant as filler until my next, bigger, update... my gallery will be one year old soon:D
 
I just love the lighting and the angle of the first shot.
 
The 'Lowtuss' is a great shot.
 
Both are really good shots but I think I like the feel of the 2nd one more. Nice work.
 
Good pics, but I think you are showing us your "worst" work...... then to leave ourselves of stone with your mega-update!!! :)

Thanks guys, glad you liked the Lotus. I may try this car in other locations soon.

Thanks Krame. When I took the shot I felt it had a little something. I thought it was only a little, but ended up looking good once edited a bit.

Thanks Arathorn. I don't know if the mega update will be stoning people. It's just a little work coming up. The shots are actually done, I just need to get around to working on the presentation.

In the meantime, here's something a bit different for me, a phototravel shot.





​
 
ooooohhh.....that gt looks sick! very smooth and shiny!!
 
Both shots in your last update are stunning, U have done two beautiful shots!!
This new update of the GT40...its even better IMO, so real, and with great contrast and colors!!! Just...WOW!!!
:cheers:
 
Sweet shot man! Love the very nice colours and the clean reflections. Sadly those exhaustpipes look a bit weird (which isn't your fault).
 
Wow, the lighting is very spectacular again! I can see you redone most part of all recals, they look very well in that image.

I must say the rear part of the car is like an avidence of hard surface blur filter :D. I don't know how to fix that actually, and it's a key problem of photomode postproductions. Lately I was dodgering with a tiny brush to create artifial details but.. I don't know.

Thanks guys.

Just a quickie again. I know this kind of shot has been done before, but what the heck, here's my take on it.



​
 
Nobody like this one? Don't worry C_F, I'm here to post for all of them lOl.

You've killed the tarmac texture and car color so I guess ti came out with an artistic feeling. The curve itself is very sweet, a very popular shape from Motegui, but you framed it perfectly in that photo. It seems like a hand drawed line, a very natural flow :D

Salu2.alexwrc
 
It's always fun to play dark in motegi ... nice one CF
perhaps driving a motul Z would be more appropriate ;)
 
Thanks guys:)

Franz, when I was editing the shot I thought a Z would have been more appropriate:) Perhaps sometime in the future.

I also had this shot and didn't think it was good enough, but why not show it right?:D



​
 
For me that kind of images are very useful as illustrations for personal stuff. It could be a book cover or something, quite evocative :D
