Invest in a Dell IPS monitor and calibration software like Spyder 3 or Eye-One or Color Munki. All good devices and give you accurate colour day in day out.

I use a Dell IPS monitor as well as a second screen for browsing the web and spyder 3 software on both. Well worth it!

Same here. +1

No point spending $$$$$$$$ on camera gear, when you dont have an accurate monitor to PP your work.

bnr - WOW nicely done :D Got any more??

ta

No more for now, always interesting to go back to old photos and see what you can do with them now so will see if I can find anything else to play with.

Off to Singapore in 4 weeks to so should have some good stuff from there also

Nice photos Matt.

The photos look distorted to me in IE and firefox. Could be my cr@ppy computer at work.

How are you resizing them and where are you hosting them?

This could be the reason why they are so soft.

They've just been uploaded to picasa, and stored there, no editing of sizes or anything happened. Are you drunk again? ;_)

I'll agree, the third is a bit cluttered up and to much stuff everywhere. cheers boys.

took these at lunch yesterday. they're not crazy angles or anything special. They're kind of important though, first time i knew exactly what I wanted to do, how to light and set the car out, how to shoot. Precission ;p Took about 10 minutes to set up and shoot, then about 5 minutes in photoshop to increase contrast and add a sharpen after resizing. I think it's time to get serious about shooting people's cars now.

Nice pics matt. I wish i was drunk.

You have your own site why don't you host them yourselfs? Picasa could be compressing them, never know.

On a side note, if anyone here owns a Canon 40D or 50D, view my thread HERE if you want some awesome batteries!

I must say i'm not a fan of HDR photos of cars. They just bring out way too much detail and ruins it for me, but that's just my personal opinion. If it's done nicely and not over-done it's ok, but most just pull too much detail out of the reflections in the paint. But i like the composition :)

One from me - August%2012th,%202010.jpg

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
