Sneaky Peakie from Yesterday. This was so under-exposed, i'm extremely happy with the 7D after this shot! Was around 1.5 stops under because somehow i flicked to my C1 setting lol.

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.

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 :P I wonder if Pez has run through the audio yet? :P

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.

This shot should keep a random member quite happy. You could turn this into a poster from a magazine easy :)

I'm hanging to see a few more of the motion shots dude.

Quadruple EPIC score right there! Lucky we're not playing Scrabble or sumsing, it'd be a close-run game...

Evan the super-ninja was stoked today when I spoke to him, and is looking forward to seeing the shots of his car. If I'd known he was buying one, I would have told him to come along during the day as well, seeing as he and his wife live in Penrith right near the F4 freeway. They're two of the nicest, calmest people you could meet, yet they're both like 11ty Dan ninjas in whatever martial arts they do.

Lol that's some epic posting there Nick! If it wasn't for you the rolling shots wouldn't of happened. Massive thanks goes to you. I hope your shots turned out awesome as well. Your always behind the scenes and rarely get to use your camera, so i hope you enjoyed the light painting sesh!

Here's something i haven't done before EVER!

Before....

After....

5131874078_2f7d23fcc1_b.jpg

See if you can see what has changed :P

Oh and one light painting shot!

5130525299_ab58f9b384_b.jpg

This shot makes me grin almost as wide as GD2ILA! Awesome work!

Almost matt! Lol Owen, thats correct as well.

On my work monitor i can't even see the power lines in the first "before" shot, but there were about 6 power lines spanning the length of the photo. I really enjoy content fill-aware for doing this and then touching it with with cloning/healing brush.

Opened it as a smart object and dropped the exposure 2 stops for the sky.

Same as Above for the cars, except added about 0.70 of a stop.

Same as above for ground except added 1.15 of a stop.

Same as above for the trees and grass except about 0.60 of a stop.

And then added some contrast, got rid of the power pole, the 60 sign, got rid of cr@p in Duncans window in the background, burnt the bonnets cause they were so friggin bright and sharpened and resized.

You all win.... Matt for 1 days amusement/pleasure!

Sweet painting shots Matt, they turned out awesome.

Eric - I don't think anythings as wide as your fat bertha whale hahahaha :P

Wow! You certainly get around, Zennon! Some great shots there man.

How old is that wreck?

Thanks - No idea hey - there are quite a few there (been dumped to create an artificial reef)

Where is that wreck?

At forster there was seriously 100 of those dead birds st the beach and more just in random spots. Anyone know what's going on there?k?????

Moreton Island - don't you read :blink:

Yeah was lots on Moreton too - apparently they flew into a big storm during their normal migration and died from pure exhaustion :D

Gradient overlay.

Brighter cars

Leaves removed

Pole removed

Sharpening.

What Di I win?

Yeah was gonna say you forgot about the speed sign! But all has been revealed now I see

Ps. that R34 GTR is sexy ;)

Maybe you should call me back!!!! hahah

not at work today dude.. feel very sick :D

Ahhh ok fair enough. I guess an excuse to edit photos!!!! Hahaha. Met with the clients yet? I'll call you after work (535'ish).

great processing kory :D

indeed. awesome job of cloning out the power lines, if you didnt see the before shot you wouldnt even know.

whats the content aware thing you were talking about? is that in ps or lr?

Thanks Sidd and Jay :D

Yep, its a new feature of CS5. Youtube it man!! You don't know what your missing out on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course you have to touch up with the healing brush and clone tool, but my god does it make it much much easier when matching tones. I find it struggles pretty hard around cluttered power lines e.g. Power pole with lots of lines branching off it. But to clone out the single lines, long brush strongs help alot. It seems that when they are close it picks up the other lines and clones them back in. Frustrating in a way, but i suppose if i use it more i will learn how to get around this!

ah ok, so you reckon it would be ok for removing scribbles over the top of graffiti? cause thats a major PITA to remove just using a clone tool (some times impossible, well with my limited skills, lol)

EDIT: OK, just saw a vid and man, nearly fell off my chair! The highest ranking comment says it all really...

"Wow. This is probably is the closest thing as a 'make awesome' button would do."

damn, i really should get to know all the tools in CS5 seeing as I'm using that, lol.

Edited by Jay019

Lololololololol +2 (Get it?)

Press "J" and it is defaulted onto content fill.

It works with some things, just gotta get used to what it can fix good and what needs retouching. If your using CS5 jay, start bashing that mofo!!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
