Has anyone found any way to take pictures of the standard cars?

I dont understand why they exluded them from the photomodus, being that alot of standard cars look much better than some premium cars.

What?????? Are you being serious here or joking........

He's serious. This is a natural psychological response to cognitive dissonance. Its likely that he has been driving a lot of standard model cars recently - and to resolve the internal dissonance that they have poor graphics, but he has invested money and a lot of time playing driving them, the player

1. turns to do the opposite: take pictures of the standard modeled cars.
2. proclaim that standard cars look better than premium cars as his rationale.

Both methods helps legitimize his internal concept that standard cars look good, or even better than premium cars, and as such resolves his dissonance.

You see a lot of this with the "fanboys" of GT.

Really, the Standards look okay. Not good, but most are still able to get good pictures. Give a pro a Cizeta V16T with the blocky tail lights and it'd still look good.
 
I would trade ALL the standards in the game for just 50 more premiums.
 
Well, being that Photography is one of my other hobbies. I do like the photo modus portion of this game. Which is the reason I asked this question, and in fact there are some good looking standard cars. For example:

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '09 :cool:
Jay leno Tank Car '03 :cool:
Mazda Furai Concept '08 :cool:

Just too name a few, and on the other hand some ugly premium cars:

Alfa Romeo Brera Sky Window 3.2 JTS Q4 '06 :yuck:
Citroën C4 Coupe 2.0VTS '05 :yuck:
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution II GSR '94 :yuck:

Just to prove my point, which group of cars would you rather having a picture of?

For the record I have driven more than i've taken pictures ;)

Said by someone who prefers photography to driving, I'd guess.

Nope, I take very few photos and I'm all about the driving. But it is said by someone who prefers to race in cockpit view. That being said the over all quality of the standard cars modeling is a slap in the face after the wait we had to go through for the game.

The Veyron is overused, The tank car is used by trolls, I admit the furai is nice but not as detailed as any premium car!

I like the C4 and the alfa is cool too but the Evo II is a standard car
 
You are right with the Evo II (my mistake) but i hope my point was clear.

I hardly use any of the standard cars. I just like the how some of them look and would like to add them to my photo gallery.

Ps: I looked at quite a few of you tuning setups and i will be trying a few out.

Which car and with what setup would you suggest for the Historic race car Cup in the A-Spec Expert series?

I am having a tough time winning that one.
