+1, i find that 600x338 is the best without being too small.

also n2o, lower the brightness and increase the contrast and see how you go. as i said in my tutorial, it will look different on your tv than it does on your pc monitor, its a matter of finding out the differences and ironing them out till you get the perfect photos.

I like the exhaust - would it look better with all 4 exhausts in focus or not? Hard to say without comparing.
And I love that part of Amalfi (actually, Amalfi is prolly one of my fav tracks).

with the exhaust one, i was trying to get the viewer to focus on the closest two exhaust tips. i should try a different angle, and find a car with exhausts more seperated.

and the amalfi one, yeah its the most scenic track, but very hard to take good photos on ive found.

and that bundaberg livery is awesome!!! me wants Very Happy

kfc is crap!! i hate that stuff. and yeah the holden lion on the bonnet is going to be missed by me, one of the icons on the HRT cars.

Hey hey easy on KFC, we were talking red rooster!!
chickens and roosters are different...bit like calling a canadian american, they dont like it.

KFC has its place, usually for me a massive pack of KFC nuggets will help (not cure) a big hangover! but thats just me ...(not very often now days with 2 kids)

Yeah, I've tried getting good shots on Amalfi and it's hard. Maybe it's because the lighting is so harsh (generally a bad thing in photography).

Hey, I just saw this as someone elses sig on the forza forums:

I think this works well because of the print on the exhaust - gives you something to focus on.

Cool photos everyone.

HCJ - can I suggest that when you post the photos to the forum (or any forum), you hit Enter a few times between each photo. Makes each photo stand out better rather than my eyes running off one photo into the next.
