8.3 vs 0.9

 

[ColinG]

Where is that house on the map? Awesome pics mate, love the skyline ones

 

[Chris n nic]

Top one will be a 'big' picture, 3(?)mil pixels, bottom one will be 0.9mil pixels.

Nope mine are all 0.9....I think its probably that a) photobucket rapes the quality but flickr seem to be ok and b) its all down to the contrast/exposure settings. when the contrast is to low it seems grey and dull but with a bit of tweaking it comes out much better.

Also I think the s2000 pic is zoomed out too far so it distorts the pic...if you move the camera further back but zoom it in it would probably make a difference too

The skyline and diablo pics i took are at the Gladstone Drive area of the map

Why do some of the pictures look like they're from a GameBoy Colour version of the game? Properly terrible.

As with real photography there is a vast difference in the quality of pics being taken. There are loads of variables (shutter speed, focus, aperture, focal length, exposure etc) so similar rules apply as they do to real life. It's very, very easy to take a crap picture in Horizon. I've spent about an hour driving around specifically for photos today and only took two I was happy with.

They also seem to be very dependent on the quality of the host, Flickr retains good sharpness and colour, but some are really really terrible (Facebook, Thumbsnap etc)

Photo 1 - 2012-10-28 by VividEuphoria, on Flickr

Flickr and photobucket comparison. Also photos saved off Forza website onto iPad and then uploaded. Might use laptop next time.

 

[ukaskew]

^^^ Amazing difference, I knew they were bad but can't quite believe how soft the Photobucket shot looks (Thumbsnap looked even worse on a previous page)

Which iPad are you using? Even with the big shot the iPad 2/3 will be more than good enough for that resolution (the original iPad had a very restrictive file size limit), it shouldn't make any difference using a laptop.

 

[Ben]

Loving this game!

Using an new iPad so has retina. I view the photo on Forza and then save the image to the iPad and then upload.

Didnt realise how bad photobucket was will use flickr from now on.

 

[Jon.G]

Here's a few I took, Only thing I'd say is I hate how long it takes to upload the bigshots. Pretty frustrating.

Surely the first pic is a helicopter?

Yeah it is, only realised after I named it and couldn't be bothered to change it.

Few of mine so far, not had much playing time since I bought it.

Few more, just to keep the thread alive:

And some of the z4, just as it pretty. Too bad it's f**king s**t to drive; the longest 3rd gear EVER.

Still loving photo mode on this. Awesome. Too bad you can't remove drivers from static pictures.

I caved and bought it. Don't regret it one bit - Effing love it currently! Not getting ANY DLC though. Unless there's a MK3 MR2/MRS coming, I'm satisfied with the cars included.

OMG Rack! <3

Awesome, suppose I should get playing it.

 

[welshname]

I need a console again. Also there's far too much love for RACK.

 

[Chapster5]

Think I may have to buy this game :/ Can you free roam on it?

 

[Eddie.]

Yeah.

 

[Hixle]

Lol at Joey caving! Knew you would.

 

[Chapster5]

Defiantly buying this game then.

 

[dajones]

It's entirely free roam, you drive to the events you want to do. Just got my purple wristband. It's a bit annoying I didn't look up what cars you win on the showcase events, I've pretty much bought every car then won the same thing again lol

 

[KFRRS94]

A few more of mine, haven't started playing around with the camera settings yet just taking shots with default settings:
