hahaha cool so you'll pay the other 30k for it :down::D

Hahaha just goes to show how much i know about skylines :D

Look i just take the photos ok?!?! haha :D

Keen for cruise? :D

nice pics fullyhyperlite, good framing and lighting, nice to see :devil: you shooting RAW? Much post production? (Photoshop). u tried sending them to some car mags, you might get some freelance work to cover events, cruises, shows, things like that (could put a little bit of cash back in your pocket). You have to sell your self a bit in the industry, can be the worst part about it. also, try taking some photos of normal, boring road cars, try and make them look as good as the photos you've already posted here. If you can make them look good, taking photos of cars you like becomes a lot more fun :D

Bingo,, you now have your mission to make mine look as good as these posted :devil:

Hey thanks heaps for the kind words :D I really appreciate it.

I only shot half of those photos RAW, the other half just normal. And photoshop use is quite limited, only changing levels. Apart from that - nothing else has been edited.

Yeah sending photos into car magazines sounds like a great idea. I hadn't actually thought about it, but if it could get a lil extra cash in my pocket im all for it haha. Best thing about it would be getting paid for something i LOVE doing, which is always a bonus.

Yeah a few mates want me to take photos of their cars, and they aren't anything flash either. I'm thinking of maybe making myself a website, showcasing my best works, or something along those lines. Get my work out there a bit :P

Im thinking for meet spot of cruise - possibly near Marion. Do people know where the Marion Cultural Centre building is on Diagonal Rd (the really ugly looking one haha). Maybe in that carpark...or like the marion side of the building because there wont be many cars at Marion at say 11am. And then from there head down the coast.

What do people think? ANy particular coast spots that people know of that are good to stop at?

Anywhere along the esplanade near largs pier and semaphore... nice area and theres a stretch with a big carpark

-D

No probs :P , try and do as much using RAW and in Photoshop as you can, when you apply at most places for this type of work, that's one of the 1st things they will ask you 'can you use Photoshop?' It was one of the 1st programs i learnt, then everything just went from there, prob should not say this, but even try get yourself a dodgy copy for home (even an older version), just so u can use it as much as you can, thats how i started (and sooooooooo many others), i finally did pay for a copy, 7 years later :rofl: (places i worked paid for most of them) but now i'm a good boy and pay for all my software. hurts the bank balance tho :D , you think cars can get expensive

Yeah photoshop is soooo complicated. Like im good with editing the things i already have, but not too great with creating things, and the whole airbrushing thing is way too complicated but id love to know how to do it. Ha i already have a dodgy copy at home. My auntie actually bought it when she gave me this laptop so iv currently got CS2 on my Mac.

Ha yeah Photoshop is quite expensive to buy. But yeah, learning to use it properly is going to be tough haha. Its ridiculously detailed haha.

marion 11am im out but may catch up later depending on how south you go

Could possibly go as south as Seaford. Thats depending on whether or not people are keen to go from marion, through hills and back to the coast again. But i know a few good coast spots down south. - O'Sullies Beach boat ramp is big and where i took the photos of the 300zx and 34 and that'd be cool to get a few group shots down there. Really up to people and how far they are willing to drive, especially you Northies :rofl:

why would you pay for it? ive been using CS2 for about 3 years now, got a whole bunch of plug ins and filters and there all "dodgey copies" all worth close to around 2k by now...... just curious as to why you would pay for this stuff?

Shhhhhhh you!! lol i have your photos hehehe. When you want them? I'll have time at the end of the week to get em to ya i reckon. Or maybe just wait till the cruise?

After enough years of doing that, i think at some stage, if you using it all the time for a living, you should pay for it, I've had the opp to learn a lot of different programs over the last 9 years, which i would hate to add up how much it would all have cost. I now only use a few all the time, and they are exactly what i need, most of the plugins i need now, you can't find dodgy copies (I've tried :worship:), Saphire plugins for Aftereffects, Final Cut Pro starts at 2k US (I don't need that, just an example). so i have to pay for others, same with most industries. That's fair

i thought you were going to do a proper cruise i almost PM'ed you

>>Like this one<<

maybe where not all thieves, do you walk into target and steal your socks too :worship:

    • 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!
