GT4 photo: How do I direct ACTION shots?

[cole_trx]

How are you guys directing your action shots?

The only way I can see is to B-spec or drive the course... then go to the photo screnn. But if im a second too late with the button, or mess up the corner trying to get that perfect slide, I have to wait another whole lap? Very anoying on the ring!

Is there a way I can place the car on the track? Or drive a partial section, then goto the photo screen?

you can place cars using the photolab option i think its called... but u cant drive it.

best to just use your replays and be ready on that button

i think most of us have been playing GT4 since release and are pretty accurate on the racing lines..... practice, practice, practice.......

i don't know about everyone else but i usually just go for a spin or have a good race, and when watching my reply if something good comes up that i think is worthy of a photo, just save the reply, head to the replay theatre and when u play it over, you can hit select to take photos.... this is also good if you want multiple car shots.

if its really a big problem with positioning, just drive around and park your car at a spot were you would like the photo, i personally prefer action shots with motion blur, as evident in most of my photos...... see below......

yeah i normally dont bother with a full lap...

normally i will drive around and park in different spots and then hit the corners i like to get the action shots and then just take pics thru the reply.

thanks guys yeah I guess i will take my pics from my replay.

at first i thought this was a bit of an oversight, but i guess the rational was that u dont get the pics in real life unless you really do the driving, so same for the game!

what i really wanted was sideways pics with suspension squashed and smoking tyres. on the ring as well so I can send the pics to my friends os. we hired a mercedes C180 purly for driving on the ring! didnt c any skylines there, but a shitload of fast cars including a few DTM cars with number plates!
