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 :down: I want a 3rd!

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

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.

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!

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 ;)

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.

:)

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.

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Duncan · Posted

      Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
