Nice work Zennon :cheers: and do like the night shots too ;)

Was about to get into the car then realised the beautiful sunset in the background.. wish my car was clean.. oh wells perhaps next time:

Took these from Kangaroo Point after work one night

Nice one mate.

Guys, I'm kind of new to this Photography section... Here are some shots I took of my GTR the last two nights. Let me know what you think? :)

Sidd and Matt, where are these locations, please? I've been looking for a few good places to take some shots of my car and others around the Parramatta, Blacktown and Hills areas...

Hey Nick,

The first one was taken in my driveway :blink: Over 110sec exposure, several handheld flash points around the car.

The others were taken outside a new building in North Sydney called 'the Ark' on the corner of William and Mount st, just off the Pacific Hwy.

Hey Nick,

There's a few good spots near Nepean River. You've got the boat ramp on your side, and you just need to drive along river rd on the other side and pick a spot.

You could head to Eastern Creek Raceway (obviously whilst the gates are open) around the back hill there's plenty of open space with nice grass and good curves.

You could head to the wreckers on northern road to get the grafitti wall

Have you tried to scope out Norwest? Possibly around that large lake thing? That's somewhere around here I've thought of heading out to as well.

Or if your stuck... Head to Homebush. Everyone has done it before, but that's because it's always good for a shoot. If I wash the car next week I might head down one evening myself! :blink: Great idea! haha

This is from the chain of storms that has killed a ton of people already and caused a ton of damage and injury. Took them when it passed through my area. Pretty scary shit, producing tornadoes. In the USA.

The thing you see dropping down right before the lightning on the left is a cloud that was in rotation. It was gusting probably 20-35 by this time and the camera had gotten a strange amount of noise. Needless to say, this was the LAST picture of the night before I MOVED.

Enjoy =)

Is that Tampa?

Ahh cool, "the Ark" looks cool! Made for a good backdrop.

Yeah, I'm not too familiar with the Penrith area because I don't venture out there much, but that will change soon because my sister is in the process of moving there.

I might go and scope out Norwest this afternoon, actually. The new hospital is up and running, I think, and from Old Windsor Road it looks like it's a fairly modern-looking building.

Oh, I went for a drive to Rouse Hill a few months ago because while I was leaving the shops there I thought I saw a little area that looked like it might be a park with a small parking lot. I thought I'd check it out to see if it'd be suitable for any photos, but it turns out it's just a turning/parking bay and nothing more... :) Might be an idea to the shops themselves one night really late to see if we can use the area for photos when no-one's around.

First one is my favourite. Focus seems a little off.. I'd suggest taking a small LED torch to help camera focus when shooting at night time

P.s. Those wheels rock!

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
