Nice rendering.

Looks more like a 1970s Can-Am car than an F1 car as your title implies though.

thankyou and sorry i thought the none turbo versions raced in the japanese grand prix around the 70's. i changed the title anyway.

i looked it up and they did race in Can-Am.

when you say rendering what do you mean? as far as editing goes there isnt really any. just a little crop and contrast was upped a couple.

There were some 1960s and early 70s Japanese sports car races called the "Japanese Grand Prix", but the last of them was no later than 1975, After that, the term "GP" would always be an F1 race; really that's a question of clarity more than anything else.

As for why "render", to me the pic has a slightly "plastic" quality to it, that usually marks a CGI rendering rather than a digital (or wet film) photo.

My little lad's got one of those, but the rear wing's fallen off so he keeps flipping off the track

hmm yes well i can assure you this is a real photograph, taken with a real camera. toy car on a square sheet of red wrapping paper with one corner turned up facing the window in my bedroom. over exposed slightly to bleech out the contours on the paper. back of the car is lit up with a led torch to bring out some of the detail there and i croped and increased the contrast slightly in PS, job done.

Ah, that accounts for the slightly fake quality; Did you expect anyone to spot that it wasn't a real car in one of those "shadow-free" studios?

are you being serious?

the title was sarcastic i thought that was quite clear from the use of a laughing smiley in the post and i wasnt trying to hide the fact its a toy car, i even broadcasted that in the description where the picture is hosted. as for the 'fake quality', i cant see it myself it all looks genuine to me but il just take it as a compliment, that the photo is that good it couldnt possibly have been captured without some digital influence

Personally..... I like it.... Keep it up.

Cheers

Dave.

lol

I think the smiley after his picture stands for roll over f*cking laughing so, this would imply its not real don't you think?
