Yeah some great shots, thanks for posting! Great to see some Forza 4 piccies from actual users instead of media outlets. I know most folks who have it are mercilessly playing it but feel free to throw up some more piccies for those less fortunate Very Happy

im going to do that tonight T, try and get a really nice flame shot at one of the sunrise/ sunset tracks.

by **TEEROY 34** Fri Oct 14, 2011 6:46 pm

i tried for ages to get the flame on camera.
It pops up as you go into slow mo (or naormal speed) but when you rewind slowly to capture the flame it doesnt come up, frustrating to say the least.
Good luck!

For anyone still wondering about the bigshot and how to retrieve them, click RB while in photomode to switch to bigshot mode. Once uploaded, go to FM.net, log in and click My Forza. Click view all images and there should be a window on the right with a link to your bigshot.

Remember, they can only be uploaded one at a time. Have fun!

found this on FM.net

Here are some tips to help you when you are using Flickr to host your photo’s from FM4

------------------ Downloading Pictures from FM.net ------------------

To get to your gallery you can go to “My Forza” then click on view all if there are photo’s available, or you can just go to the link below... Just remember to replace (GT) with your gamertag
http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Gallery.aspx?gt=(GT)

Once you are in your gallery you can download you photo two ways.
If it is a normal size photo then just click on the line under you photo and then click download.
If you are downloading a BigShot photo or a video you will need to click on the download button under the paragraph on the right side. Remember, you can only have one BigShot photo or Video on ForzaMotorsport.net at a time.

------------------ Uploading to Flickr ------------------
Once you are signed into Flickr.com you can upload from the “You” drop down then select “Upload Photo’s and Video’s”, or on the main page click on “Upload Photo’s and Video’s” on the right side. Both of these links will take you to the Upload page where you will be able to chose your photo that you would like to upload.

------------------ Flickr Size Limits ------------------
Normal photo’s are no problem to upload. They will be around 150kb

BigShot photo’s are going to be the problem. Flickr has a 20 MB (15MB for free accounts) limit on individual photo sizes. The .BMP photo that FM4 generates for it’s BigShot photo’s are around 25MB. There are two ways around this:

1. Resize the photo from 3840x2160 to 2880x1620 (about 75%) - this should get you under the 20MB limit but the .BMP file will still be quite large

2. Convert file to .JPG. By converting the file to a .JPG you will still have the full size of the photo but the photo will be around 350kb instead of 25MB. You can do this with Microsoft Paint just by opening the .BMP file in Paint then clicking on File, Save As..., then choosing .JPG from the file types option. Of course if you are using a more advanced photo editing program then you may have different steps or even .BMP compression options.

Also, for Pro accounts there is unlimited storage space available. But for a Free account you are limited to 200 “most recent” photo’s and you don’t have access to the original large photo

by **Envy The Best** Sat Oct 15, 2011 12:12 pm

Strange, thats a full size upload of the jpg conversion.

Ah well, note to self, only use Bigshots on pics i really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really like the look of.

Gotta say, the fact that i didn't use any exposure/contrast tricks, only some Sepia and Colour, is a real testament to the games visual quality. It is stunning.
