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?

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
