Just use a layer mask and crank up the blacks to see if there is any detail there. If there is any detail in the sky, just do a single HDR of the sky and mask it in.

Or you could use a gradient. Up to you lol.

I like both photos, i think the 2nd photo a CPL could of really helped. Or an ND even and a longer exposure. Keep it up mate, all about practice!

P.S. Matt - I do have steady hands but thats not the reason i turn it off ;)

No worry John, they're good shots, they show something different to what people see when they stroll around and thats good. you've got an eye for a shot, that's the hard bit. now you just need to do the easy (but long) part, practice, and learn as much as you can about ur gear and shots. Learning will give you more options and help open your eyes to some the possibilitiles that a shot could form.

Keep posting! Welcome to the team ;)

If you don't take multiple exposures but your shooting raw you can open the file, increase or decrease the exposure, re save it as e.g. file0001_LOW or file0001_High.You can merge these multiples later. This will only work well if what you're trying to capture isn't to far off your shot i.e. way to dark, way to bright.

zenNon, I was explaining bracketing. Where've you been hiding anyway?

Kory - WOW. That looks amazing!

I had a quick play with a few of the photos when we stuck the gopro in auto on the side of Nick's car. Had a little play with cropping and some color adjustments. Obviously no substitute for the kind of stuff you & Matt are doing, but not a bad result from a $300 rig.

Thanks Eric :ermm: Matt got some sweeeet shots as well, i donno when he will post up, but check the shot on his flickr. I'd link it, but that would be copyright, right? Haha.

I reckon that is sweet, from a dedicated video camera, especially a go-pro. Did you sort through the audio? Haha. Looking forward to the BTS video if you create one :huh:

Oh and Falcon - So jealous of NY. Would love to go there one day, i could spend years taking photos there!

Sorry Maikul, I've been to busy of late to look for you. I'll have squiz through the week when I can.

Sexy shot Kory, I think the Gopro beats it down though :ermm: I wonder if Pez has run through the audio yet? :huh:

Here's my teaser from yesterday.

I was really happy at how the day ran and the results. It's a shame that a couple missed out on the paint session.

Hehe, yeah boys I went through the audio although it is a bit hard to hear over Nick's exhaust note. I know I'm a pain and always get in the shot - lol!

I wish you could set the exposure a bit more on the GoPro. It always tries to just shoot as fast as it can so it misses out on all that lovely motion blur unless you're going pretty fast.

Pr0n shot Matty!

Hahahaha. Funny. Crank it up really really loud :ermm:

What about if you grabbed a frame from the video not the actual photo it takes every 2 seconds? That would have the wheels spinning etc... wouldn't it?

And yep - The Go pro definitely smokes my results. I wasted all my money on photography gear, i coulda just bought a gopro!

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
