Not great photos but I just wanted to share the clouds from Le Mans at sunset, which are something special!

So many good pics. Too many good pics. :D



I couldn't tell you. But screenshot size is different and raytracing vs no raytracing is obvious differences, among other bits. Better reflection resolution maybe? Since we're in a no-scape zone there are bound to be more differences here than the scape threads.
Reviewing my photomode pics, it looks like it's not ray/pathtracing the reflections like I once believed - you can see it in how there's no self-reflections of mirrors/wings (look where the spoiler connects to the boot):

Guess PS4&Pro just uses full-resolution cubemaps and fakes it after all. :'(

And you are on what system?
 
Sorry, PS4 Pro.

But still, if you're aware and work around the lack of self-reflections and that of other vehicles, you can still get nice shots. (Take that Moby Dick #2)

Yeah you don’t get the same level of reflection on PS4.

But now I'm thinking I'd like a PS5 for more creative shots...

Same 🤪
