Hey Cara, that first photo could have been a bit better with a smaller aperture, longer exposure and lower ISO, with no flash. Were they taken hand-held? If they were, using a tripod or mounting the camera somewhere stable would have helped massively! I'm not sure how long you've had your camera, but I'm slowly learning myself, so I know it's not easy to remember it all.

The other two shots are pretty good though (despite my dislike of cats)!

Hey just a quick question to the guys who are shooting a lot of car stuff. Are you guys using polarizer filters to cut reflections. I have some pretty neat locations but with some nasty reflections flying around thats all. Info on filters and shit would be appreciated. Cheers....

Not really one of those people you are asking but yeah CPLs cut lots of reflections!

You can just rotate it around and see through the viewfinder how the image changes

So the more you rotate it the more it polarizers? They the circular polarizers?

erm... a way of thinking about it is that a circular polariser has two pieces of tinted glass

the back is fixed and screwed onto the lens - the other can rotate

as you rotate it either cuts out or lets through light coming from different angles

(due to the way they are overlapping)

Do you have one? (I'm sure there would be a good article explaining it somewhere but dont have to time to find one atm)

flash wasnt used in the first pic....and tripod was used aswell still trying to get used to the new camera tho lol especially the night photography part

On your camera you will have an 'S' Mode, which is your shutter. The longer you hold the shutter open, the more light you'll let in to the pic. Try to take another night shot with the shutter speed turned up really high and then adjust it back so you get the effect you wanted :)

This photo was taken in the middle of the night, it was fairly dark. I had the shutter open for about 30seconds.

Love the processing in the first pic. Nicely done :)

The last shot is great. Would love to see a bigger pic of it. What lighting did you use? Looks like one light source from the top?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
