Pft Sif. Actually you know why that is? Because your tur-boss isn't fast enough. You need NOS. And a steering wheel button.

Ahh is this the nerd shots you did with my AB's?

Hahahaa wow. Didn't think you meant this nerdy but hahaha.

Would be even more epic if you had a hair light to show his slick rick hair. 2 lights FTL I want a 3rd!

[MaTBoY]

yeah i wanted a third to shine his hair. i'll do it in post when i get around to it. was thinking of making him a calender of pics of himself. he'd love it haha.

sad thing is there was no diffuser on that light just a car sunshade thing to stop the camera picking up the trails... For what I know I could have messed up with the white balance adjustment aswell or the metering... Im pretty keen to get out there and do it again... but take with me something to piss the orange light off with haha

cheers for the tip though

Might have to borrow my mates 14-2X mm lens

Also props to GTRSEAN for helping with the light painting I painted in the lights and he did the cars was a bit of fun and experimenting

most of my work is done on my d90 with a 150 lens.

yes with a lens that is suited to the camera

also another quick throw together...

[FST513]

Calendar of him, would be epic. Although not a sight to behold!

I think Matts point is, it doesn't matter what lens your using, it matters how you light.

I think the lens your talking about is the Nikon 14-24 2.8. Good lens.

White balance is a bit cool, but thats expected because your using a LED light. Metering is to no avail here because you can't meter accurately enough as you are not providing constant light (e.g. flashing or strobing) and it looks pitch black where you were so the meter will be wrong and it will tell you to go longer than 30secs.

Light painting is about experimenting and finding the settings correct for you. The Camera couldn't of helped you out in this case.

The more you do the better you will get at it.

Is that the kurrajong look out on bells line of road?

[woodsy900]

You're right about that... but using the 18 - 55mm DX lens on an FX camera...

The next step I think will be to get a remote trigger release for the camera so I can do the bulb setting... Having that orange light there didnt help with painting the cars as it created its own ghosting of us and sloanes car being silver reflected light away from the camera as opposed to the white cars

So got any tips on painting silver cars? aside from brighter light?

Yes that is kurrjong look out... some dude pulled up in a stock S15 with a chick in the car... (P plater too) I think we ruined their night for about 2 hours!

[FST513]

I got no idea between the differences of Noinkon, but if it's like Canon e.g. Using an EF-S lens on a full frame camera, it's still workable. You can only blame the lens on the sharpness of the photo not the light

Silver is the easiest colour of cars to take photos of. Whether it be flashes/strobed/light painted.

Get a brighter light and don't park under orange street lights?

The lens is only really going to affect your zoom level champ. you're camera knows what it is and will switch which will just give you a crop factor, so your 35mm from a smaller format will look more like what you'd expect from a 50mm. the sharpness wouldn't change more than a bee's dick.

Silver is the easiest colour to light man, you don't need any tips from us, you just need to do that 3 hours of internet research to catch up

I did some painting on a black xr6 at lunch. will post some shots up over the weekend. Made a new lighting rig today and tried it out. Haven't viewed shots outside of cam lcd but it looks promosing

[FST513]

Even new words are created from the new light rig? Damn 'riff people!

LOL @ Kory.

not a good photo by any means, but...

Day 045: December 3, 2010

Every day I have a run from a lawyers office to the registry at the courts and back. They have a ticket system and ever since I started I have wanted MY ticket. Well today I finally got it. I'll admit, i had to take two tickets to get it, but meh, whatever. lol. I'm sticking this one in my folder as some kind of achievement. Yeah I know, this obsession with the number 19 is probably not healthy, but I really dont give a f**k, haha.

Edited December 3, 2010 by Jay019

[FST513]

I've alwanted wondered that Jay and first i assumed you were 19. But seeing your ugly mug on facebook you definitely aren't 19 and when you mentioned kids ages ago i was like hhmmm... Then i thought favourite number. Then i thought Tegan and Sara song Nineteen. Now i'm asking you.

Please graciously answer my longing question so i can get in on this "unhealthy" obsession with 19.

[Jay019]

haha. ok, the story is...

i applied for a job as a bike courier and the first company that hired me gave me the number 19. i was 19 at the time also. so for the next few years all i ever responded to over the radio was the call to 019. wasnt long before that number became me and things just got out of hand, haha.

and to keep up the unhealthy obsession...

all taken this month (today actually) to stay legal in this thread

i should start a '019' album and see how many photos i can fill it with... or maybe i should just see a psych, haha.

oh, and for those who are interested... i turned 34 this year.
