matboy - Its in alexandria.. Oh loving those shots of the classic car :)

haysey - man so jealous!!! post up more photos ;) How long you over there for??

lepper - hahah man you really getting addicted to HDR uh? Its good tho, and not overly done. Fisheye one is great.

bnr#@ - you did a wonderful job tho ;) panning at night must be very hard.

Haha yeah, i got more shots of the pelicans. Biggest farken ones i've ever seen!

Will post up tonight. I think my SS was about 1/1600th, you can see the rain lol. Didn't even notice that before.

Bangaz Boy - Sweet photos mate!

If i were you, i would tone down on the HDR processing on your car. Everything else is fine, but especially with your car being black, reflections are killing it. Possibly use a layer mask and the original image and merge them together, with the HDR being the background and everything and the properly exposed car in the photo instead of the HDR composite.

Do you know what i mean?

Yeah mate I know what you mean :D. At the time i was going for the reflections as I wanted to see how it came up after processing it as a HDR (went a bit overboard with the processing). I've been wanting to try a few of the car with the polariser to cut down the reflections to see how it would look, unfortunately car is off the road at the moment. Otherwise I might try give the layer mask a go, really need to improve my PS skills. thanks for the tip!

I agree with kory, tone down the hdr on the car. If you've got the original pics just cut your car out and paste it over one of these. You can just adjust the tones and shadows of your car to help it blend in.

the animal shots and waterfall stuff is all fantastic mate! 10/10.

Thanks for your comments guys, I like receiving constructive criticism, trying to improve as much as possible, so feel free to give me any advice or criticism. Otherwise I'm glad to hear that you guys like some of the photos.

Barra - I know what you mean about HDR, everyone seems to be doing it these days, and there is a lot of overdone stuff (including stuff I've done). I've only recently just got my camera so I've only just got into doing the HDRs and having some fun with them. I really want to improve on standard photos instead of relying on HDR to make them standout.

Thanks for your comments guys, I like receiving constructive criticism, trying to improve as much as possible, so feel free to give me any advice or criticism.

Well in that case!

Cool image - might be better with bigger DoF? Not sure where I should be looking.. maybe darkening the surrounding plants and leaving middle one to be brighter

Very very flat image - needs darker darks and brighter brights (very common HDR problem due to the nature of HDRs)

Don't think the horizon is flat but it works in this image imo

That is freaking amazing. Very impressive. Just need an interesting foreground and it would be super.

Another nice one.. don't think the non level horizon works in this one though

These two are also very flat

Background slightly flat. I don't mind the HDR car but the halo's around it aren't nice

4705512216_a4fd480210_b.jpg

This one is perfect I think. Only thing I would do maybe is crop the bottom and left slightly.. maybe

Good shot - like the teeth

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
