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!

HDR seems to be the in thing right now.. heres some of mine from the quit targa west start last friday in the city

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

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
