hey everyone! in my time spent in the photography forum i have noticed alot of very neat pics ect

i am currently designing a business card for my parents shop (we sell exhaust systems, rotors, pads, intakes ect... we are just starting off and still have alot of growing to do)

with the business card im aiming to have a picture in the background, along with text on the front such as the business name "performance car parts online" and contact details.

now this is where i need some help

i need to find a good image to use for the card.

a car with flames out of the exhaust, glowing rotors or just an action shot?

can anyone help?

here are some examples

Well...i have a tonne of photos you can browse through, not sure what kind of cars you're after/shots in particular your after though.

There is a lot of talent on here! I'm sure you'll find something you like!

Otherwise we are doing a shoot for SAU calendar in 2 weeks. Some shots will look like the 2nd shot you posted.

I've got a lamborghini club of Australia shoot this sunday although i'd have to clear with them if you can use an image.

This is just off the top of my head what i have in regards to flame shots.. Nothing as epic as that GT2!!

thats some great photography!

im looking for street cars to be honest, something people can half relate to... (so the supra would be more appropriate)

do you have a website or a link to where i could browse your photos?

thank you

Yep. It's in my signature mate. Its underlined Kory Leung Photography.

Otherwise here it is: www.koryleungphotography.com.au

I can see that supra on a card easy. cut the background, have the track/flames/road along the bottom, should give you room around and above it for your details with out distractions. would look pretty ace.

Dont know how much you know about graphic design, but whatever you do, just dont put text over the image. Unless there is empty space. Adobe Indesign has a 'feather gradient' option that will fade the picture away on the edge. You can then add text to any photo you have if you need to.

Oh, and make sure your image is 300dpi and has bleed!

Cards all sorted now I just gave some images to a designer to get them done. Was way to busy with my course (building design and tech) will post some pics. 300dpi is what I use on all my Photoshop work :dry:

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
