F50 picture is so vivid I'd believe it if someone told me it was CG!

The word I would use wouldn't be "fantastic". I find the overprocessed nature of this pic highly unrealistic and unappealing. As so often happens nowadays. Since the days of Photoshop, reality went out the door.

I agree paperbag While I can't knock him for his effort and living the dream, the resulting photos really aren't to my taste either. But each to their own, obviously lots of people love them.

I also agree - the pictures look like very very good computerised images.

On the whole though - awesome tunnel (think I said that to a girl once)?!

+1 Looks like a 1980's poster rather than a picture.

He has done some amazing other pics though.

Agreed GFW generally takes great pictures, but for me these look more like renderings than photos so do not like as much as normal.

As an aside, the recent Octane article on the F40 was completely ruined by the grossly over-processed photos used.

A good picture speaks for itself. There is so satisfying getting something straight from the camera with no post-production "work" required.

having viewed a lot of his work he caters to all tastes. I'd suggest that on this occasion this is what the client requested.

I quite like these other-worldly photos George comes up with sometimes. They are a lot like fine art.

In my eyes, post processing with photos is like taking a raw chunk of marble and chiseling a fine sculpture from it. There's a lot of talent required to get it right too.

It's not like he isn't capable of fantastic work direct from the camera either:



Give him his rig though, and that's when the stellar shots like this one come out:



Keep at it George - I really admire your work. Congrats on the recognition you received from this most recent set too! smile

How do you hire GF Williams? I tried hiring those guys on the supercars spotted thread but they are more interested in chasing supercars around Harrods and nearly getting run over doing it.
