Resizes people, resize the images. No need to post the full-sizes on here since the page layout still auto-resizes the shots to 700px, post smaller images that link to the full sizes.

Kthxbai, and nice work Flamedogg, CCX and benda. 👍

These photos are very nice examples for this thread, the lighting is very realistic (most important factor on GT photos I think) and the colours are great too (realistic, not overdone).

Keep the good work coming guys :)

Thanks, if you insist! One more for now

 
Slightly off topic, but what are you guys using to edit your photos other than Photoshop? I just took some photos and I want to edit them to make them look more realistic, but Pixlr isn't working the way that I would like it to right now :( .

I use snapspeed.
 
Gimp is good, though you need to invest a bit of time learning how to use it - there are good tutorials on youtube.
Subtle use of curves and contrast usually works well at making realistic pics.

GIMP, it takes forever (I've been using it for 14 months now, and just now do I finally feel satisfied with the results), but it's pretty much as good as PhotoShop when you get to know it.

I use Paint.NET, it's just as good as photoshop after putting in a few plugins, and it's completely free!

Here are a few "vintage" style pics.

What was used to create the grain? When I make things look old (in CS5) I use texturize at times but it's not the same. I really like the effect that was used in that photo.
 
It has been awhile....I figured I would post some of my ZR1, taken from website, will try to upload later off USB for better quailty (No edits):

EDIT: Saw them on my PC screen since I uploaded them at work, look like garbage now lol. Will try to upload with better quality later.
