Where were you all this time???
I love it, the pictures are so cool, very classic.
Just one tip: Try to vary more the angles. 👍

I'm new here and this is the first time I share my work with anybody so.. :p
I'm really glad you guys like them, I have quite a few more but I wanted to see if you guys liked these before posting the rest :nervous:
The angles kept the theme consistent with the pictures I do use a wider range of angles but thanks for the tip 👍
dimplz

thanks for that comment but I have a lot to learn before I can reach that level I think...:dunce:
 
Wow.... i think they look great! Well just try a different and unique angle and maybe try to brighten up some of your pictures. Keep it up mate! 👍
 
lets see ...

first off, the wings dont fit on any of the cars/pictures sorry :( perhaps if they looked like a part of the car instead of after through attachment because they never have the same gloss as the car.

vette: imo, the second picture needs to be less centered, but, the third vette looks awesome. has a high quality post card feeling to it 👍

rx7 - the second shot is composed extremely well and i love the focus on headlights. the third one needs to be zoomed out slightly. wing hurts this more than the rest imo.

scoobies - well, very nice. nothing else to say 👍 :)

over all, very nice 👍

Don't be sorry not everyone sees the same thing in every image. I like getting some healthy criticism its good for progression. personally the reason I used those wings is that in my garage I have over 500 cars and many are repeat cars with different tuning specs, to separate them I used different color wings each signifying a certain tuning method and those are some of my 'elite' cars in there division. Again these are from my personal gallery pics that I made for myself to 'celebrate' a completed setup... Thanks for your comments :tup:they were taken into consideration :) (but to be honest I already knew some people would feel that way about my pics, its the reasons I was reluctant to post them :indiff:)

Great idea 💡 I'll do it!!
 
Excellent start 👍 I especially like the fact that you're putting alot of effort into the presentation of the gallery itself... using these 'preview'-sized images rather than thumbnails or posting the full picture is a really excellent way to show the images. The shots themselves are stylish and very easy on the eye, and I love the gallery name too (I guess you have Brock5000 to thank for that idea!)... continue like this and your gallery will certainly get more and more observers!

Yup I do have Brock to thank for the name, thanks Brock! :)
As for the presentation I cant hide the fact that I did try to make it a little more "easy on the eye" as you put it... I guess I just like to do a little extra for quality...:guilty:
I hope to get more observers and commentators alike :D:tup:
Healthy criticism is welcome here :)
 
Lds I just re-uploaded the image with a few cleanup spots that I just notice. try it now....
thanks Crimson_Menace and Lds :)👍

i wasnt trying to be negative as i really liked most of them, more so refering to the way gt4 renders the wings seperately from the car so they dont look like theyre part of the car.
 
I joined about three weeks ago, I only waited to post because I'm reluctant about showing things I actually put a lot of effort into just to have people give it half a glance... but people here seem to know how to spot effort in photos and appreciate quality...
 
I don’t see the difference, at least on the parts I see more unclean parts…but don’t bother, that are things that take time. 👍

Just one question, the blue part was you that add it right?
 
hmmm....do you focus the car before taking the shot??? Because the car looks strange….Looks like it lost some quality…..the angle is cool, but that detail is what bothers me…
 
Its the head lights. :lol: the hole image is retouched. the reason I did not submit it was that the rendering done in GT4 on this car is rubbish. This is the angle and car but totally retouched.
If your talking about the hood and the missing reflections, its because the car is in the shade under the bridge.
