Hey guys. If taking shots and you know your going to be taking pseudo HDR images would it be better to shoot them 1 or 2 stops higher exposure to avoid noise when adjusting exposure in photoshop? Or do you need that range of -2 -1 0 1+ 2+

If you are taking a single shot and you know you are going to make a single image HDR out of it yeah a stop or so brighter might be better as there is more info stored in brighter pixels.. little hard to explain but its called shooting to the right (you can read this if you are interested).

But yeah the important thing is the expose it so you capture the detail in the dark and bright areas - and in some cases this will simply not be possible with a single exposure - and then.. you'll have to do a proper HDR!

Why would you take 1 pic for a hdr image? If your intentionally wanting an HDR image and you're already there with your camera... why not take the extra shots?

I guess the only place you'd do it is if you took a pic, and thought it might look good as as afterthought, but if that's the case you're probably not going to get what you're after or had in mind anyway... Seems like a redundant thing to do.

It's hard to make an HDR pic not look flat and boring and lifeless as it is. Sounds like a Pseudo waste of time.

Might be a scene with heaps of moving objects and stuff

I don't think so Matt. Due to the nature of a HDR you will loose dark shadows and bright highlights. So to make photo not look flat you have to fix this afterwards. This is not hard to do if you have something like Lightroom. Its simply a matter of opening the tone curve and darkening the shadows - (drag left hand side down a little) and making the highlights a little brighter (drag light hand side a little up)

hdr in motion! good call

I don't mean they're flat as in just how they're coloured and lit, i meant more in general, I'd prefer a good normal pic to a good hdr 9/10. Occasionally they're awesome and do a great job, but usually it just seems to take away from what ever was the reason you stopped to take a pic. personal preference i guess. :)

IMO a good HDR is one you can't really tell it is a HDR!

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
