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?

Obviously in the ocean! Didn't you see his toddler pic snorkelling ;)

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!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
