New to Forzatagraphy. I usually just take a few quick pictures of my race paints and I’ve never really been able to create realistic looking photos like I’ve seen in this section. I really want to develop my Forzatagraphy skills beyond just a quick snap of my latest race paint. So thought I’d start a thread and would be grateful for any advice/help from you guys
I’ll start with these three, I seem to get better shots when the photo’s are taken on tracks where it’s raining. Same shot on the same track during daylight just look cartoonie/unrealistic, so not sure why there is such a difference
Nice start mate really like that last shot! I started do dabble in Forzatography at the beginning of the year in FH2 and the first thing people told me was to not be afraid to play around with all the settings!!
My personal favourite has to be the first one. Other then that, did you play FH2 by chance. Because if so. Then I reckon there are a few reasons. Take time of day of course in FH2, you had a wider choices in terms of lighting which was caused by the weather changing. Along with the day and night cyle. And to me this is a shame since people who love photography or photomodes as a hobby will always try to adept. They same can be said as people who do photography as a career.
But when it involves adepting to their surroundings then the people who get paid enough will be able to change how a shot comes out with more settings, filters, camera bodies. Along with a few other things. As well as that, another reason some people might be struggling is how Forza 5 and 6’s graphic engine versions handle day time and night time compared to FH2. The same could also be said about FM4 and FH1.
Closing Thoughts:
Maybe it is time to think out of the box more. While using different settings in the process, since using you’re FH2 or FM5 will not always work in FM6.
I think you’ve got a good eye for setting up your compositions (or in other words how your subtect(s) are arranged in the frame of the photo), and that’s half the battle for creating a good interesting photo. I would recommend playing around with settings on every shot, just get comfortable with how each one has an affect on both the photo itself, and the other settings. In photography, light is your friend always, don’t be afraid to ramp up the exposure and brightness a little. Not too much mind you, you want a balance when it comes to lighting and contrast. Too much brightness and you’ll wash out all the finer details and subtle shading. Too much contrast or too little brightness and you risk hiding all of those details in darkness. The best way to learn is through just tons of practice. Find a photo you like from someone else’s gallery and try to replicate it on your own. Feel free to ask tons of questions too, lots of us are happy to answer
