HD Wallpapers.

[Droolguy]

Hey everyone, I would like to put out a request for high-pixel count photographs of the projects everyone has completed or sees in someones garage (just don't get caught).

Really its not limited to Pro-Touring cars alone, any high-quality muscle photos accepted.

Please submit photos of at least 1280X1024 resolution, the bigger the better. The better quality of the lighting, scenery (or lack thereof), focus, exct. the higher chance that I can use the photo.

I will be using my free time out here in Iraq and my knowledge of photoshop to do something productive... create and compile a HD wallpaper pack, because who doesn't like looking at bad-ass cars?

Thanks everyone, I will be checking this thread daily for replys.

If you are having trouble posting the pictures, just send them to me directly at [email protected].

----------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! I almost forgot, if someone wants to go the extra mile.

I have the ability to create HDR photographs, which can look amazing.

I will need at least 3 copies of the EXACT SAME photo, taken at different exposures. If you don't have a tripod don't attempt this since it would be almost impossible for you to take the same photo three times without one.

Obviously unless your a professional photographer, getting a moving object with three different exposures of the same photo is almost impossible. However it does look awesome.

What I need...
1X Over exposure.
1X Standard exposure.
1X Under exposure.

Here are a couple examples of HDR photos.

LEGAL STUFF -> Please only submit photographs you have taken yourself! Otherwise I, and to a limited degree Pro-Touring.com could get in trouble for copywright infringement and other digital property laws.

Yes, I can work with that. Thanks.

[Steve1968LS2]

I've got a few hundred I could donate.. lol

I just need to find the time to size them and do it.

[Morgan]

Ok, so how do I get the picture to you?

Steve how can I get those pics?:naughty::kewlpics:

[Yelcamino]

I just emailed a couple to you.

[Droolguy]

Just post the pictures up here and I will grab them.

Or if you would rather do it some other way, you can PM me and I will give you my email address and you can send them that way.

Also, big pictures are perfectly acceptable. No need to resize.

[Droolguy]

Since people seem to be having trouble finding websites that will host large images, I have put my email in the OP.

You can just send them directly to me.

Thanks everyone for the participation.

[Droolguy]

Just got your e-mail Yelcamino.

They look good from what I can tell, on a small laptop right now so I will have to look at them when I get back to my bunk on the big screen.

Thanks.

[Droolguy]

So far I have recieved photos from:

BIGX69
MORGAN
YELCAMINO

[Vegas69]

I sent over a couple. Feel free to play with them....

[Droolguy]

Got them, thanks.

[shmoov69]

work?

[Droolguy]

Yes. Thank you.

[maxharvard]

Just make sure not to over do it with the HDR ;)

[Droolguy]

It would be tasteful HDR...
No one has submitted any photos that I can use it on though, yet.

Right now I am just waiting on my photoshop CD to come in the mail and then it off to the races... I will post the backgrounds as I complete them.

[ljfran2383]

email sent

[Droolguy]

Got it.

[Droolguy]

*Casts thread resurrection*

So, they lost my Photoshop in the mail.

A new copy was sent out two days ago so it 'should' be here in a week and a half.

Just FYI in case anyone was wondering why I hadn't made anything.

[newbaa]

Awesome idea. I'd love to have some good quality pictures for a desktop. I might have a few to contribute, but I'm not on my computer. I'll look laters.

[Droolguy]

It finally arrived today... installed and I have started working... probably expect one or two tomorrow. Some of the pictures I have received are pretty good.

[Droolguy]

So I finished one...

I realized in the middle of making these that I have no idea what kind of backgrounds everyone likes so I just made a generic one.

Hope it satisfies.

If someone has a request it will be much easier, so I think I will take requests instead of just pumping out random ones.

[Droolguy]

Looked at the picture on my laptop screen and noticed some mistakes.My PC screen is much darker and so some of them didn't show up.

[Droolguy]

Should be fix'd now... Just need to refresh the picture above for the modified one.

[Droolguy]

Two more generic backgrounds...

Lookin' good!

[Morgan]

Looks great so far. I like the funky thing you did on my car and how the sections are in blocks.

Cool! I like this one! Now I'll make a request, make one with my El Camino! :twothumbs

Same style?

[Yelcamino]

Same style?

Something along the same lines I guess, but whatever you feel like doing.

I'll knock a couple more out tomorrow. Need time to think up some designs.

[progoat]

Man I love Herbs Chevelle:1st:

[Yelcamino]

Thanks! :twothumbs

[Yelcamino]

I just thought of something, how about one with the El Camino and the Chevelle together? I don't know about anyone else, but that would work great for me! :bananna2:

[phenometron]

Sent you a couple of shots I used in my PTGarage collage via email, if you're still accepting them...enjoy.

[Droolguy]

Yelcamino... here is version 2 of your BG.

Once again, I am working on my PC screen which has horrible contrast and pixel pitch, making it hard to see errors (especially with light/dark things).

If you spot a problem just tell me and I can fix it.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[Droolguy]

Lol, I already spotted one... fix'n.

****ing generator.

Power went down while working on chevyhector's background which turned out wicked.

Might be for the best though because I have a question for him before I re-make and post it up.

Chevyhector: Your background contains nudity, in specific drawn bare breasts. Would you take offense at this? It also contains blatant digital property infringement, but who cares since its not being sold.

I'll need an answer before I remake it again because it takes several hours to make your background and I don't want to waste the time (again).

[chevyhector]

Nudity ???? I just sent you a few pics of my camaro. No nudity !

[chevyhector]

Wait a min, I just understood your reply. you can do anything you want to the pic.

[Droolguy]

Ok, I broke down and made it again anyway just because I thought it was cool... someone will use it. Two different versions.

That is so cool! Thanks!

[chevyhector]

Droolguy!!!!!! You are the man! I would live to see the other pics with the same back ground ? Send me a copy if you can: [email protected]

Thank you

[wmhjr]

Sent you one. 5.37MB. Hopefully it goes through.

[chevyhector]

there's an "underscore" between "hector & ruiz"

[68/CamaroFL]

Sent you a couple of "Evade"

[Droolguy]

Droolguy!!!!!! You are the man! I would live to see the other pics with the same back ground ? Send me a copy if you can: [email protected]

Thank you

Sorry Chevyhector, you'll have to make due with the ones I put up.

It takes a *long* time to pump one of yours out in that style... those took around 4 hours of tweaking (you caught me on my day off so I had time), and the only reason I could get it out that quick is I found somewhere I could steal the Medusa drawings from and bend them to my purpose.

Need to work on other peoples backgrounds.

[chevyhector]

No problem Droolguy ! I’m very thankful for what you created.

[Hellrace]
