Thanks guys. Was taken up at Mount Mee (you can click on them for more info).

Can't remember the specific walk or creeks name (I might have to try google it).

No Sam - might have a CPL on but that's about it.

(second shot is three exposures fused together though)

HI Beenar, I've just got a D90 with the 18-55 kit lens. Although when I took most of those historic race pics I 'borrowed' some long lens from work. Will confirm what it is tomorrow.

Yeah thought you were using something long, no way you are going to get that kind of DOF and Bokeh with the kit lense.

I almost bought a D90 but decided the Canon 40D was more suited to what I wanted, was a very tough choice though. I really must get my camera out and take some more shots.

Those two are awesome, would love to know what effect you used here

The first pic I cut the car on to a new layer, played with the colour values and sharpness. I then desaturated the background, added some blur and darkness to it to help the car stand out.

The 2nd pic, On the car I played with saturation, brightness and contrast, over sharpened it to emphasis the car's lines and and reflections. I then added a slight blur to forground and desaturated the enviroment a bit. The blur in that pic is just from panning with it as it drove in front of me. I used a slightly longer shutter than you'd usually use and just the panning right on (Through luck and multiple pictures, not skill haha )

Hope this helps :blush:

Cheers for that, they both have a bit of an unusual look to them, especialy the second one which to me looks more like a drawing then a photo, looks very cool, I like it

Didnt have a tripod so was just resting it on random things. Wish i had a wide angle lens.. Only got the 50mm lens atm.. sigh why does lens have to be so expensive!!

Your car is looking f**king sick man... Love it. Is it pearl white paint? Have a look at the 15mm 2.8 fish eye. Its an awesome lens for around a grand.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
