SNC Matthijs' Photo Gallery

I’m looking for a bit a feedback on the photo’s I’ve made in FH5 thus far, so I hope you guys could help me improve :smiley:
There are quite a few pics already, so I’ll try to not go too overboard, but I’ll also try to give an idea of what I was going for with as may pics as I can. You might recognise a few of these from the photocomps, as I started uploading there a few weeks ago.

Evija (Scarecode 333 635 108)


I haven’t had much practice making night-time photos until this game, but I find myself making more and more. I tried to really show off the taillights and the shape of the rear end here.

EVO (Sharecode 135 810 666)


Sometimes, you just stumble upon the perfect lighting for a cool shot…

Ford (Sharecode 320 945 399)


This last week I’ve been experimenting with using tilt in my photos. I find tilt is a good way to convey a sense of speed in a photo. Which is probably why I don’t use it much, as most of my photo’s are stationary LOL

VW T1 (Sharecode 133 679 559)


I honestly find it hard making photos with a gloomy aesthetic, not really helped by the fact that I decided to try making one in a jungle… Credit to ClutchTadpole5 for the livery.

Storm (Sharecode 570 209 811)


Not very like me to make a pic that doesn’t involve a car, but I guess technically it involves vehicles.

FE 3RS (Sharecode 165 319 262)


There’s not much I was going for here. Just kinda wanted to show the foggy background. Credit to MeMoNeoNo for the awesome livery.

992 911R (Sharecode 179 167 216)


At first I wanted to make a pic showing the car in front of the mural, but decided to show off the simplicity of the 911R livery I made for the GT3 instead. I kinda rushed this pic because of the weather, even though it didn’t play much of a part in the end.

DLS (Sharecode 360 345 883)


I tried to make a pretty picture with the monarch butterflies in this pic to get the “A Royal Affair” achievement. In the end I didn’t get the achievement, but I am satisfied with the composition and how bright blue the sky looks.

356 (Sharecode 683 675 900)


Another one of those photos you don’t plan for, but actually look pretty good in the end. Starting off with simply taking a snapshot for Horizon Promo, I wanted to make a pic showing off the headlights reflecting on the wet tarmac. Though it’s not exactly what I wanted, I still like how it turned out.

Havana Style (Sharecode 487 169 530)


I wanted to make a picture that you’d usually imagine when you think of Cuba and Havana. To be honest, because of the lack of high curbs, especially in Playa Azul, it’s not that easy. But when I tried composing a shot like this in another street, and later on found this building in almost the same colour as the car, it felt almost like fate :smiley:

Like I said, quite a few pics already, and there are more coming, but I’ll try uploading those later. I’ll give a quick warning though, you’re gonna see that 992 a lot more here xD
If there’s any feedback you’d give me on how to improve these pics, be it by changing the settings of the camera or changing the composition, please let me know, I’m interested to know what everyone thinks :smiley:

Decided to try making a few drift pictures with the Twerkstallion. Not quite what I had in mind, but I think they’re alright. Livery by SnakeEyes Friex, all pictures are named “FC”.

As the blurry nose probably gives away, the focus is completely on the sticker of the samurai. At first I wanted to experiment with focal length. To see whether I’d prefer the focus being close or distant. In the end, I figured it’d probably be best to show off the livery a bit by using the focal length.

I think I set the aperture too high for this photo. It’s a cool action shot, just too blurry. I could also have increased the vignette, but I’m not a big fan of it in excess.

(SC 147 749 059)


Last one of the FC in action. The problem I have is that there’s a significant delay between me pressing the button to open photomode, and photomode actually opening. As a result, the steer is always straight. I think for all 3 of these pics, they turned out alright, but it’d just looked a lot cooler with full lock.

Bonus round: The FC not in action

Probably the most colourful picture I’ve ever made. Probably the most colourful picture I’ll ever make. Orange/yellow with blue and purple is a pretty weird colour combo, but it does give a cool effect.

(SC 541 170 503)


Is this what I had in mind? Of course not… but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. I have noticed that a lot of people try to incorporate the reflections in the puddles when they take pictures at the Street Scene Outpost, so here’s one (almost) without.

If there’s anything on your mind about these pics, be it just how they look or how they can be improved, please let me know, as I’m eager to know :smiley:

Told you, you’d see more of it. All pictures are named 「992」, livery named 「911R WG」 SC: 525 640 162


I’m starting to like making night-time pictures more and more. I submitted this one to the weekly photo challenge. SC: 126 106 753


“The best pictures you’ll take, you won’t have imagined taking”. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it over and over again… Nothing quite like a bit of fog to create an atmosphere. SC: 778 729 531


Something I love about Porsche’s Weissach package on the 991 GT2/3 RS, as well as the 718 GT4 RS. “Porsche” written in black on the carbon wing. I couldn’t quite get the shot I wanted, because this looks amazing if the sun hits a spot where you can see the carbon weave, as well as the text. SC: 110 516 771


I used to love creating images to show cool driving positions for a game. What do you think of this?
SC: 644 154 629


It’s amazing how much the camera position, angle, saturation, etc… can change a 3rd person view. There’s a lot more to it than just sticking a camera behind something. SC: 116 037 304

I’ve been going crazy with the new M4, so I’ve got a couple of good ones coming sooner or later

I must say the new M4 is surprisingly photogenic, so… enjoy :slight_smile:

SC: 213 331 996 - I have to say… not entirely what I had in mind, but still pretty cool, huh?


SC: 178 423 451 - A lot of people take pics showing the same places at the street scene outpost, so here’s an angle you probably haven’t seen before.


SC: 154 925 113 - I finally managed to make a moody shot.

There’s a bunch more that I made, but there’s a few I didn’t think were good enough, and some others got lost because I can’t see my entire gallery on the FM website for some reason, so 5 pics is your lot. Hope you liked them :smiley:
