WOW verry cool update Cod_father i really love photo nr2. Looks verry real to me 👍

 

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

Very very suave update C_F!
I really like the 2nd and last shot. I love how you went with the selective coloring on the 2nd shot. It adds a very nice touch to it. I don't know about the last shot, there's something about it that really catches my eye. 👍

 

[Mad.Dog]

Love the Lupo pics. Gallery is brilliant. 10/10.

 

[Mad.Dog]

I want a Lupo!
You made them look excellent!

 

[Cod_Father]

The new update is really god and as usual the lighting on all the pics are perfect. The last one is my favorite. As for the G35 update, that shot looks awesome! The angle, sky and of course the lighting is spot on, very nice job.

Thanks Krame I find Infineon is a hit or miss for me when it comes to getting good shots. This time was a hit=)

Are the galleries Dead, must just be a lot of people hanging around outside instead of in. It is quite cold here though so I am staying inside.

That is an extreme lens you got there Cod, bet that cost quite a bit and is it heavy? Looks it.

That is an amazing shot you got of the storm, good to hear you are alright.

This Lupo update is amazing, how do you get such beautiful lighting is your shots?
They all look good, but I love the third and fourth shots the most. Superb control over lighting and colour in all shots, superb work all round.

I will be sure to come back and comment on others updates I have missed, there are quite a lot of awesome shots that I didn't comment on.
Anyway, look forward to seeing another update in one of my favourite galleries. 👍

Thanks TW I wanted to take advantage of the bright colours of the Lupos and the lighting was just luck The 400mm lens isn't too heavy, but I do need to use a tripod to get a steady shot. I haven't perfected my breathing enough yet to use it without one.

I like the first and the last the most, because of the lighting and the atmosphere you give to the pictures.

Thanks Vince

i second that - the pictures look so realistic - wow!

Thanks Zaine. I didn't clean up the shots as nicely as I could have, but some of them do have a touch of realism, which is something I aim for in many of my shots.

Damn, I hate you so much!!!

These look awesome, I'll be sure to get back and comment in detail, Cod. 👍


PS: Nice bazooka. What's the specs on that thing?

Thanks Beerz I'm not sure what the specs are for the lens other than that it's a 400mm. I told my wife I'm going to start doing portrait photography at 200 yards

awesome!!! has to be the best lupo pics i've seen here so far. best lighting ever! i specially love the last one. bring some more!!

Thanks jgda I believe franz had one of the better Lupo shots here though

WOW verry cool update Cod_father i really love photo nr2. Looks verry real to me 👍

Hey, long time no see FA Glad you dropped in. I wasn't a fan of the last shot when I originally did it, but it has grown on me. I think it's because it has a bit better sense of action to it.

Love the Lupo pics. Gallery is brilliant. 10/10.

Thanks Mad.Dog

 

[AlexTB]

Who'd of thought anyone could make a Lupo look so good? The colour of the race versions make the shots exciting! Brilliant update!

 

[Beerz]

As promised, here I am.

These are all great, I love the lighting in all of them. Plus, they're all photographs in their own right, not screenshots. 👍

The are all extremely realistic, perfectly balanced tones.
I like the glare on the hood and bumper of the 1st shot, very natural. Also, I see that that shot was the only one in which you showed us a bit of the hideously textured side sponsor.

Great sky look on the 2nd shot, but the last one is the best of them all, imo.

The GT4-blurred car behind the black one is truly awesome, the entire composition of the image is to me perfect. All very realistic and natural looking, never overdone. 👍
Did you do anything on the lower left corner of the image? Looks like a bit of gaussian in there.

Great work, mate.

 

[alexwrc]

By the first time, I think your photos are becoming a bit too much dark (Specially the 2nd one). Probaly a readjustment of levels in some part of the photos could help them to show the usual great job on lights.

[NTX]

This update its full of realism Tony!!! I like all shots mainly because of that factor, but the soft look also helps a little, and U really captured good racing moments!!
Well done

BTW, are U a paparazzi?! Look at that camera!!
Must real powerful!!!👍

Thanks Alex I've tried a couple photoshoots with the Lupo before but none of them ended up good enough to post. This one however did

Thanks for the write up beerzy The last image did have sort of a gaussian blur/vignetting. I had another version of that shot in a portrait format and it came down to a coin toss (essentially) as to which one I would use. Based on the comments I made the right selection

Hi Alex, I typically only use auto levels when adjusting my pictures. The original shots were actually a bit darker, but I believe I know what the culprit is that makes my shots look a bit darker as of late. I'm using a different technique for adding contrast. If I do any more updates in the future I'll have to see about being more controlled when using the technique.

This update its full of realism Tony!!! I like all shots mainly because of that factor, but the soft look also helps a little, and U really captured good racing moments!!
Well done

Thanks NTX. I soften all my images so I don't have to work so hard cleaning up the textures;-)

Well, I only have one more GT4 update and it's really only an addition to the Lupo shots.

​

The following shot is not one I took personally, but I did do some editing in PS. The picture was taken by an acquaintance on a local car forum while he was in Japan a few weeks ago.

​

This one was taken yesterday. It was the first time we have been out to the drag strip in two seasons. The car has an all new motor that's not quite as strong as the old one but still plenty fast enough. We spent the day breaking in the motor and getting the suspension set up so the fastest run still wasn't a full 100%. 9.98 @ 137 mph (compared to the previous motor that got us into the 9.30s).

​

Remember to click on each for a full size picture.

As for my next GT4 update, well not sure when that's coming. We are doing a lot of work outside (newer house, no grass, plants, etc yet) and between that and upcoming days at the track there isn't a lot of time for video games.

 

[alexwrc]

Uoh! Nice to see you back to show something to us. I'm really in love with the 350Z SuperGT. I don't have any special reason, I just like it!

[NTX]

Another realistic action shot Tony!! Great battle moment U captured. Again the soft look makes me like the shot a lot!! Hope to see more updates, so don´t forget GTP ok?!

The "real cars" pics are great, specially the 1st one!!WOW!! WOW!!👍

 

[franz]

Agree! Those stickers are so cool
The polo shot is just as nice as previous update
anyhow I totally understand house work can take all your time
but it is a great way to enjoy the summer I guess

 

[jgda9rs]

awesome! i love that car soo much! i wish you luck on your new house and your racing project. hope you can keep us updated about the cars. i would like to know about the progress you guys will make.

 

[Beerz]

The Polos shot is really good, you just should've burned the shadow on the tarmac a bit, to make it look the cars were in contact with it (more than they are).

That Nismo shot is awesome, lots of details to look at, great angle. And I agree with franz, those stickers are really cool.

On the last one, that's scary. Have you ever driven it?
How can the driver see what's in front of the car?

Good luck with the new house, mate!

 

[Pebb]

Great action and mood in the Lupo Cup Car battle shot.

Thanks Alex The 350Z shot is very nice. The photographer took some nice photos when he was in Japan, but that one was the best.

Yes, this house and yard seem to take up much more time than I seem to have We have been getting some work done but the last few days haven't been too productive (40 degrees celcius with thehumidex).

awesome! i love that car soo much! i wish you luck on your new house and your racing project. hope you can keep us updated about the cars. i would like to know about the progress you guys will make.

Thanks jgda, I'll keep the racing progress updated on here when I get a chance, but the best bet would be to check out our website at http://www.pozernickracing.com for the most up to date info. I will say that my brother in law's reaction times have been kicking ass so far. His best has been a 0.405 (best would be 0.400) and worst was a 0.480. If we can get the car running consistently (the 60 foot times are all over the board right now) he'll be a force to be reckoned with in our category

Thanks Beerz I haven't driven the Daytona as it's too small for me to even get into. I don't know if I'd even want to if I could As for seeing past the hood scoop, it's not as wide or high as it looks

Great action and mood in the Lupo Cup Car battle shot.

Thanks TVR&FF

I've had this shot laying around for a while now so I'll post it up for the sake of having an update. It was too hot to be working outside today so I goofed off a bit

​

I do have one RL shot. Just finished up the patio yesterday and put together our firepit set that we bought for it. Patio is approximately 350 square feet. 1130 "roman style" paver stones used. The colours don't show up well in the picture as I had just finished cleaning off the jointing sand. Decided to go with a small wall to give it a more cozy feel. We've planted about 15 trees and shrubs now with about three times that to go. Then it's topsoil and sod and then we're done. Sounds simply when I say it like that

​

 

[NTX]

Your small update is very artistic...and btw what car is C_F?? RUF??? And look at the road, very nice indeed!!!

Lovely patio, nice seats!! Looks like a good place to be with the family

Tony

 

[SimmiS]

i think its a ruf the reflection on the side told me that , anyway, the road is verywell done, as well as the markings, well done!

 

[Beerz]

That's a really cool shot, great mood. Very realistic. It's definitely a RUF.

The tarmac looks plain awesome, the focus is spot on.

As for your house, looking very good. As for those seats, they do look confortable, but are they waterproof? Or it doesn't rain there?
Anyway, I can already picture you playing poker there...

But looks sweet, nice work on the floor and the small 3-level wall, good idea to make it like that, blends better and doesn't stand out so much.

But what's that metal thing on the house's wall just behind the chair on the left?

 

[Cod_Father]

Thanks guys The car is the Opera Z.

Yes, it does rain here The cushions are water "resistant" which means we need to find a big deck box to put them in when we aren't using them.

Beerz, the metal thing is the vent for our gas fireplace.

 

[DC5dude]

Like the shot! as for the RL shot it is very nice from what i can see you have a very nice house.

Would love to see a new shipment from The Fish Shop. I need some more of that great C_F inspiration. 👍
