thats cool.. real lightning? you have the camera on timer for that one?

looks like its choped though

Yeah added in photoshop, I don't care if photos are real or not, as long as they look good! :happy:

They look excellent!

The lightning one is outstanding, looks like the real thing. :huh:

The 3rd last photo of my car came up brilliantly in PS when i played around with it, that one seems fairly yellow!!

Till the next hawt photo session!

Yeah I delib gave that photo green lighting, why... because it looks good! I've had the most comments on it so far on DeviantArt

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/48756534/

I've also got 2 other versions of it here @ home dave, 1. The original lighting tweaked, 2. ^ the green version, 3. A blue’ish version.

Might post up a few more variations later.

I'm not a photographer so don't take my word to seriously, but it looks like you went over the top with some of the flares on the lights in photoshop..... takes away from the car....

I'm not sure 100% sure what you mean, but if you’re saying I modified the light flares in Photoshop they’re actually un-modified, that’s how the photos came out from the camera / camera settings. On DeviantArt another guy said the same thing thinking that I actually added or enhanced the light flares, all I’ve done is tweaked the levels, hue, colours etc.

My main criticism of the photos is that we didn't get the right angle / amount of light on the cars sometimes (mainly mine due to it being black). But overall they still look pretty good due the location.

Although we were taking shots of the cars, the car isn’t the only focus, it was a good location with nice backgrounds due to the lighting so it was deliberate to include the background (with the cool lighting) in the right perspective into the shot :mad:

Next time will try to get better focus / lighting on the car, & depending on the background lighting, maybe reduce the aperture if there's too much light flaring going on.

first one seems like u used a high ISO, or adjusted the levels TOO much for it to come out noisy like that

The first shot I recently re-posted it with added sharpness. I like the grainy sepia look in that photo, if you look down to the other version (2nd last image) you’ll see its not as sharp & looks a little blurry in my opinion (yes due to too high ISO I think). A similar grainy image I think looks good is http://ic3.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/022/...2_by_geno8r.jpg

agree use lowest iso next time! less noise..otherwise some great shots

Yep! Agreed. I believe we were using ISO 800, we wanted nice colourful photos due to the nice lighting / location but it seems it was too high giving us too much nose, def will try 400, 200 next time.

  • 4 weeks later...

Hey,

Lookn good. First pic of the 300 by itself is my favourite.

Last pic with the lightning is aight but the reflection off the side of the car puts it out of place.

I think alot of those photos with the cars by themselves would look better if the wheels weren't turned.

Nice work!

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
