a mate and i are wanting to get into photography - and at the moment we are just fiddling with your regular digitals.

i have a sony cybershot and he has a nikkon - both pretty cheapish. will probably be interested in getting a DSLR in future if all goes well. in the mean time i'm quite content with these cheapies.

- i've noticed once transferring the pics to a computer that signs and poles tend to find their way behind the cars.

- still need to fiddle with exposure settings (any help as to what the numbers etc mean?)

- reflections of people, tripod and pipes etc tend to get annoying.

we spent the good part of 2-3 hours just mucking around and trying to find our zone.

but we are pretty clueless on whitebalance, iso, and basically everything else.

any feedback or hints and tips would be much appreciated.

here are a few sample shots, none of these have been retouched - only smaller res.

hey mate,

few hints/tips

iso: light sensitivity - the higher the number the more 'noisy' your pics will be especially in low light. in low light shots try to use the lowest iso...

white balance..dont worry so much about that just leave it on auto

just take lots and lots of photos in varying conditions..also look at other peoples and see how they've done stuff..angles/lighting/composition..

DSLR helps too, i started out on a little compact canon digicam and got some decent shots out of that too..but yeah the DSLR is a world of difference..even compared to some of the top point/shoot style cameras..

check out some of my pics if you want..check my sig

cheers

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
