Which of these is the best?

eagl · « **Reply #1 on:** July 01, 2006, 08:35:06 PM »

#3 then #1. Both also appear to be framed with the rule of thirds in mind and that makes a big diff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

The last one is standard magazine fare but the bokeh (background out of focus pattern) is terrible.

Odd photography contest of game screenshots though... There's at least one guy in the dpreview forums that shoots real motorcycle racing events and his pics are pretty darn good. He's in one of the nikon forums I think.

I like the first two...but #1 appears to be just a fraction out of focus, so I'd go with #2.

Is that you Swoop?

Dunno if it's swoopy but riding on those polygon shaped tires has GOT to be bumpy

This one LOL

Seriously though.

I think the last one is the best hands down.

The others are just ...eh

See now thats exactly why I think the last one is the best

that out of focus background makes the picture

It gives the idea of almost exploding into warp drive

I think that illusion is better illustrated as a smooth fading background, if I said that right, the last one in this series just looks bouncy, not transitional.

Hey Swoop... is there a PC version of TT?

If not, how did you transfer images from the PS2 to the PC?

Saintaw · « **Reply #10 on:** July 02, 2006, 04:45:04 AM »

1st and last one.

LUDICROUS SPEED! GO!!!

first one is the obvious money shot.

last one needs adjustment but is a straight forward.

pretty much average when combined though.

color in all of them leaves something to be desired. not as much in the first. it's the saving grace. it has rarity in it's light.

but i know nothing.

back to show.

More coming cos it was 2am.

Eagl, ta good advice.

Curv, course it's me mate. I'm both the rider and the photographer (lessee how long it takes him to work that one out......)

Dred, yeah I like the last one but I'm with Eagl and dont like the background. Might try a few more like it in different locations.

Sandy, nope, no PC version. USB stick.

JB88, define whats up with the colour so I can fix it in PSP.

Saintaw · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2006, 06:04:01 AM »

Swoop, except for 1 and the last... the others lack luminosity.
