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!

Have a heap of photos to go through from Sat and Sun and they will slowly be added to the Targa West 2010 gallery here:

Cheers :D

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

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • 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!
    • 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...
