Turtle's Photos N' Stuff 2/10- I Love The BRZ

Turtle · Dec 24, 2011

Hello all photographers & car enthusiasts! I've decided to finally open my own Gallery, so I can get feed back and improve my skills. Anyway, I'm starting with a set of random pictures, but later I will move on to more 'organized' sets. I'm not the best photographer, but I try my best, so helpful feedback is wanted and appreciated, but please, don't be too rough. :sick:

Anyway, enjoy these random photos until I get an organized set up, I hope you like them! ~Turtle

Great set of opening shots

Great set of opening shots

Thanks, although I think some of these were too reliant on my mediocre editing, perhaps I should start doing just the little things to my photos. I took I quick peek in your gallery and I really liked a lot of your photos. Very nice, I think I'll go look at them some more. :lol:

That's Aracio Atlas, one of my favorite colors in the world. I have six or seven cars in this color. ~Turtle

Mercedes Benz SLS @ Nurburgring

Well, I had some money lying around and decided to buy a stock SLS to keep stock because my other one was modded a ton and I felt like driving an unmodified super car for once and I thought this would make for some good photos. I'm getting used to Lightroom but give me tips as always!👍

So, I hope you liked those, Tomorrow I'll put up my 3 little 'mini' sets and begin working on my Datsun 510- err... Nissan Bluebird (My dad loves the 510, so that's what I know it as) set, so look forward to that. Also, as you probably noticed, I made a fancy little Watermark, so that's cool. Other than that, nothing is new, other than a new Lightroom preset I made, but that's not really important, since it doesn't really suit the SLS photos. ~Turtle

That is just amazing 👍

That is just amazing 👍

Thanks, it means something coming from someone as good as yourself. ~Turtle

Turtle · Dec 28, 2011

As promised, here are 3 little mini sets. I'm not too crazy about the Spoon Integra shots but, oh well. ~Turtle

Your SLS set just looks stunning!!! Unbelievable! :drool:

Excellent start!

Haha, thanks.

When I saw that someone commented in my gallery, I thought "Oh boy, what am I going to get yelled at for this time?" But when I saw you liked it I thought "Me gusta". All of the work it takes is worth it just for the feeling when someone likes it. ~Turtle

Skython · Dec 29, 2011

I know the feeling. I used to always think, Uh oh, what have I done wrong.

HuNTeR1907 · Dec 29, 2011

It's good to see 300SL Gullwing photos. Wonderful car and shots! 👍

That is very kind of you.

Turtle · Jan 10, 2012

I really should have updated this earlier, but whatever. Anyway, I think these are decent, but I need to get some more evening shots.

Ferrari 512BB

Ruf BTR and Celica Rally car coming soon! ~Turtle

Tracksmith · Jan 10, 2012

Awesome start for a gallery :crazy:

. The tones in your 512 shots are beautiful. I especially like shots 4 and 5.

Thank you very much.~Turtle

HuNTeR1907 · Jan 11, 2012

512BB set is beautiful. I really like 4 and 5, either.

RetroGiant · Jan 11, 2012

Phenomenal color balance and composition in the 512 shots! Keep up the good work!

sejtur · Jan 11, 2012

Nice shots, but your sig is too big I think.

Turtle · Jan 11, 2012

sejtur
Nice shots, but your sig is too big I think.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. After the Celica and Ruf sets I'll have my sig a little smaller.~Turtle

gtuned · Jan 11, 2012

Wow.
Lovely overall start, and the 512BB is just :drool:

Superb tones and realism.

Turtle · Jan 12, 2012

Meh, I don't really like these shots too much, but oh well. The Celica is coming and so is an M3 update that I forgot about.~Turtle

Ruf BTR

Bonus Shot!

Primus Ortus · Jan 12, 2012

Great start to your gallery Turtle. I really liked the Merc at Nurburgring - nice lighting.

Thanks, the 512 looks better in blue than in red. :drool:

Thanks, it means a lot coming from someone with such a good gallery.

Great start to your gallery Turtle. I really liked the Merc at Nurburgring - nice lighting.

Thanks, I think the SLS turned out a whole lot better than I expected.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me, and it makes all of the time it takes (which is a lot more than I expected :crazy:

) totally worthwhile.~Turtle

Turtle · Jan 13, 2012

Hey everyone, here is another update, this time featuring a Rally Celica. I don't like how many of these turned out, but I say that every time and people say they're decent, so I must be doing something right. I had to scrap a couple shots from this set but if some wants to see 'em I'll put them up, along with some 512BB rejects. The next time I can get some new photos I'll make a banner so it looks a little more 'official' here. ~Turtle

Turtle · Jan 15, 2012

Hmmm.... Looks like no one liked that last set, oh well. Since nobody commented, I guess I need to double post, so sorry. Anyway, the M3 set is okay, but not great. Maybe you guys will like these more. I think I'll try a Composite shot soon so If it turns out well I'll post it. Still working on a banner though. ~Turtle

HuNTeR1907 · Jan 15, 2012

I really like the Celica shots, especially the ones with Impreza. The first M3 shot is very nice, too. 👍

Turtle · Jan 17, 2012

Okay, so, if you haven't noticed, I made a banner. It isn't too great, I'll admit. It isn't the right size, and I messed up the composite picture at some time I think. But, I'm proud that I made a composite, the next one will be better, I promise. Anyway, Here is an SLR McLaren, a very photogenic car if I do say so myself. Hunter1907 made me want to shoot with this car, so if for whatever reason you're in this miserable excuse of a gallery and you haven't seen his, check it out. He has a style much like Beccoshino, so if you liked his shots, check him out. He needs more comments. Also, If you have any suggestions on cars, tracks, locations, or composites I should try, tell me. Enjoy this latest set! ~Turtle

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Composite shot!

HuNTeR1907 · Jan 17, 2012

First of all, thank you. The SLR shots are very nice, especially the first and second shots. 👍

Your new banner with two Japanese cars is pretty good but I think the signature (Turtle) is not necessary.

Skython · Jan 17, 2012

I think you should replace the Blue written Turtle with your sig in its position rather than in the bottom left.

You've just inspired me to do some works like the Subie Mitsi shot. 👍 :drool:
