Im farely new to the forum, and I finally got some nice pictures of my R32 that i picked up in December. thanks to my mate.

I took a fair few of them, and was just wondering if there would be anyone who could give me some tips on how to take better photos.. whether it be the contrast in the background, angles etc, because I would like to learn a bit on making the car look its best in photos.

I spend that long polishing etc that I like it to look good in photos if its going to represent what it looks like in real life!!!

Anyway.. any little thing would be helpful or even little things you can see on the car that might need improving that wouldnt cost a whole heap!! (Yes, P plates should of gone!)

Thanks.

Nice clean R32 you have there champ! Photos are pretty good!!

Maybe a location with a different colour background would help, something more neutral in colour.

Also that 3rd shot is way outta focus..

What camera you using?!

It was actually a mates camera. Im looking to get one soon. My old man's is a 5MPG but I can never get the setting right.

Yeah I only just realised it was out of focus. I must of been shaking haha. I'll find another pic to replace it.

Any tips on a camera to get? Don't really want to spend a whole lot though.

IF your not looking at spending too much cash maybe a middle/top of the range point and shoot would be up your alley.

I recommend Canon, Sony and Panasonic in these feilds.

My 1st digi camera was a sony DSC-F707 which I got in 2001 and even still to this day its in top working order and produces great pics, although it did cost $2200 at the time.

So maybe budget yourself for about $500-$800 and you should pick up something nice like a panasonic FZ20 - FZ30 or the compact FZ25.

Cheers. Once again clean R32 champ.

Thanks for your help with that, I am going to go out this weekend I think and just get a feel for what sort of thing i want / need and plan to start saving.

Thanks again

optical zoom is better than digital zoom

but it depends how far away from your subject you will be.

50m or more get optical zoom

otherwise digital zoom would be ok

if it has an unsual type of battery check the check its "life" (a figure give in hours) and a camera that runs on a normal type of rechargable battery AA might be better if you travel alot,

if you forget the charger you can just keep some spares in the bag.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
