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

Aaron

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
