Kory, now I relook at that photo the water and bank is way to saturated and the tower thing is too underexposed. I don't spend enough time processing my shots, I gotta stop being lazy! Also the laptop in front of the TV isn't the best tool to use.

Post up that pic, Zennon. She wouldn't let me take a decent photo of her, so I had to make the most of the one horrible photo I could get.

I need to know which one is better!!! Decide for me!! I'm thinking the 1st one.

This one, Kory - although the blurred trees in the second shot add to the sense of speed, they're distracting to me.

Nick, if you want more light painting 'training' i'll let you know next time i'm heading out to do some. you can come along and i'll show you some more/give you some more practice. Or we could experiment on the stag. it's a challenging colour. actually... i like that idea more. let's get together and work out how to best light your stag. hahaha that sounds dirty as.

Matt, that sounds awesome. Seeing as my car is a very dark green, and the location had very little light, I'm thinking we use Bulb mode and go for maybe 40-45 seconds and see if it comes out better. I've already got a remote cable release for my camera, and the camera has a time display on the screen (as I'm sure most would) to tell you how long the shutter's been open.

Jay I'm jealous. i wanna ride through the city taking shots all day :)

dont be, so far ive estimated my income will be around the $200-$250 mark each week, lol.

i reckon i would be better off staying on the dole, haha.

You would think so wouldn't you! How hard could it be! *sigh*

is knowing how long the shutter has been open really important for light painting pics tho, specially when using bulb? in my case it is as the shutter will close at a specific time, but if it was on bulb i would be loving it as it would give me the chance to worry more about being accurate and complete rather than rushing to get everything done in a pre-determined amount of time.

Not I don't actually light paint - just really annoying how my camera doesn't show how long shutter has been open for when doing long exposures

Having said that it is about the only thing I don't like about my camera (and only an problem when doing night time shooting or using the 10-stop ND filter)

FS Canon 70-200 F4 IS L

Seems like a good post for the chat thread - or better yet its own thread! :verymad:

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
