@ Callum
I see what you mean... Thanks for the critique

 

[BlindArchangel]

^ @Callum I like the first shot the most, the silhouette of that car is sexy 9/10. The second is far to dark 6/10, and finally the third I like the camera position a lot and it's nicely centered but seems to be out of focus 7/10

@driftingziggy I kind of agree with Callum although I love the lighting and the shadows cast across the brightly lit track so I'd give it 8.5/10

Here is my rainy day at the High Speed Ring with my Italia 458

P.S. Thank you driftingziggy your compliments are greatly appreciated. I also love your work, really excellent stuff.

Great angle and colours in your 2nd pic. I give it a 8.0.

Appreciate it For the second I was using the cool filter so it automatically darkened out a lot of the shot :/ And the third I don't really know why it's out of focus, I put the main number (can't name it sorry) at 8000 and pressed the focus button so...

Lovely shot, I like the colors, looks like your leaving the city with your lambo
8.5/10

Heres few of my unedited pics

Needs lighting up significantly 5/10

Overall comments I guess... first post in this thread.

 

[BlindArchangel]

^ Good sense of speed but overall kind of a boring setting, maybe mess around with different filters and angles, as well as other areas of the track. 6.5/10

 

[Evolvedsoul]

For all the pictures, you exposed the sky nicely but in turn, the car and everything on the ground is really dark. I'd suggest a tighter crop for the first one and would like the see the whole front end for the third one.
The second picture is kinda awkward.. the dark side of the car and the shadow blends into a big detail-less area. (Horrible wording, I know.. ) Try shooting from the other side.
My favorite of the set has to be the last one. If only it could e a little brighter..
6/10, 5/10, 6/10, 8/10 respectively

Well it's alright I suppose but I don't find it too exciting, looks a bit too 'generic' if you catch my drift. It would be better if the car wasn't centered. 6/10 anyways.

 

[BlindArchangel]

^ agreed 100 percent too boring needs more visual flare 6/10

 

[Lexi Walker]

I like all 3 alot, i give them a 9/10 👍

some of mine:

 

[driftinziggy]

@ SSX 1st shot is nice but the vibrant colors of the driver make the white car seem bland 6/10
2nd shot is a pretty good picture overall...good sense of motion.. pretty good angle...maybe fool with the exposure or filters some more 7/10
3rd shot is my least favorite... the warped image and the subjects(race vs street car)
doesn't work for this particular shot 4/10

I'd give the first a 9/10 I love the angle and the sense of speed and you can see the track winding in the back ground. The last two I'd give a 9.5/10 and 10/10 some people are picky about the darkness but in sunrise/sunset pics I love the contrast between the sky and track, also the 300ZX is one badass MF!!

I'll post some sunset pics as well, pick em apart if you must....

 

[driftinziggy]

Thanks Blind... I live sunset shots but I'm still honing my eyes

Those Merc shots are wonderful

 

[Horde_R35]

This ones truly great. I just wished it had a litle bit more colour:tup:. 9/10

Looks really good! If only the titanium exhaust and wing weren't there... 8.5/10

Somebody can take my spot, I'm a little slow on the pictures lately.

 

[BlindArchangel]

^ IDK I kind of like it a little more I'd give it 9/10 some people shy away from rear wings and such but I think it looks good...anyway...Thanks for the feedback guys I appreciate it.

Overall wonderful shots of the car as well as the scenery. One thing i would change is the saturation of the building in the background in the first pic. Overall i would rate this a 7/10.

I like this picture because, it gives a sense of speed as well as a beautiful view.

 

[driftinziggy]

^^ Definite 10^^
The picture is just right in every way for me.. excellent job GT

OK, I'm going to give this 5 or 6/10. Firstly, it is just a bit, well, boring.. There is nothing that grabs the attention of the viewer, although sometimes realistic pictures can be like that, and yours is definitely realistic. However I think that there is an issue with the aperture here. I can see from the flickr EXIF data that you have used f/45. This ultimately means that pretty much everything is in focus, and most of the tome that is not a good thing. It basically means that the attention is not on the car, it is on everything and this contributes to the slight boringness I think. I would quite possibly, for a better photo, use a significantly lower f-number, my photo below for example is f/5.0. Also, I think that the back of the car is a bit near the edge of the frame, which leads the eyes of the photo a bit, but that is a minor detail..

To conclude, it is technically very good and realistic, but slightly boring due to the high f-number and lack of any motion (even though I understand it was meant to be like that.. ) Hope this helps you to improve 👍

I'll give it 7/10.
There is a very good motion in the picture, but at the same time there is not really any axcitement. Nice picture overall, with a good sense of speed!

^ 9.5/10 I really like the way how the whole thing is centered. The car lights in the back really make me like this picture. Nothing really negative that comes to mind when I look at this. Great Picture!

[BlindArchangel]

^ I'd give both a 6.5/10 I think you should explore other filters and adjust the lighting, The sense of speed is excellent in both, but neither really grab me as something special. Sometimes you have to take the same shot from multiple angles with different filters till it looks just right.

 

[Evolvedsoul]

@BlindArchangel:

The first picture is really exciting to me. Rally cars ripping out of the hole is one of the reasons I love to watch rallies! I mean, have you seen videos of Imprezas or Focuses or Lancers?! Stuff's mad. I think you captured it nicely there, although the shutter speed can be lower yet. 8.5/10

The second one is a bit strange composition wise. If you were going for a profile shot, it probably would've helped if the car was going in a straight line with some sort of speed.. like more speed. But if you were going for a car-sliding-sideways-around-some-corners, then I probably would've stood on the inside of the corner like a spectator and maybe used a wider focal length if the action was close. 6?/10

The last one could've done with, again, lower shutter speed + panning mode 3. Not much to add to that one though! 7.5/10

Here is mine:

​

I just want to re-rate this if I may..
It's technically and artistically very beautiful and clean. Its really striking to look at. The composition is great! How the fenders has equal border space on both sides.. its probably basic things to someone who's been doing this for a million years. Excuse my inexperience, but I think it would be even more striking if the left fender was just as bright as the right one is. It could probably do with a little less vignetting and the driver's colours.. perhaps if they were all black or maybe even make them monochromed in PS. Anyways, I'd give it an 8.6/10

What a picture, it gives you an idea like your gonna drive off that cliff and that's the last time you'll see daylight. Reminds me of Need for Speed Undercover where you could drive off cliffs. Love the motion, love the colors, i just love it. Nothing more to say.
Very great picture indeed i'd give it 9,9/10 & i salute you.

Here's my pics, i would like them to be re-rated.
