Ummmm. Look at the picture. is it focused on what you want? No? reshoot. Yes... move along. It does take a while to work out whats going on and you need to get your eye in, but you'll build confidence, I was happy snapping while strolling around after a couple hours of full manual, and that included light metering with out a guide on camera due to ancient lens.

Here's my first attempt at car lighting during sun up. Do you think it's a little over done, or just around right?

I adjusted the light in the sky a bit, it looked stuck on though because of the lighting. Maybe I'll try for a little more subtlety next time.

anyway, put up a rough 'feature layout' on the site. What's been written is pretty gay, just for space filler i guess and better than lorum ipsum :)

Thoughts?

Nice shot of your Evo! Like it a lot. Lighting definitely brings out the pop factor!

Checked out your website, few typos/spelling mistakes :) Besides that, seems like it will be getting on track!

Checked out your galleries, need more panning! That cloud shot from WTAC is friggin epic!!!!!

Nice work in getting your site up though :) You getting a blog or anything seeing as it is wordpress :)

Wow! they're amazing!!! That 2nd one could proudly be framed and hung on a wall in anyones house. Top effort man!

2nd attempt at strobist setup during sun (partially) up. The car is more evenly lit. The sky is natual, there's a shadow between the sky and car to seperate the two. I think it's a lot cleaner has a bit more pop.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
