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.

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.

4705560230_608aae4081_b.jpg

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

4704907377_6f612a7741_b.jpg

These two are also very flat

4705553246_eb01188569_b.jpg

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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
