Have wanted to give macro stuff a go for a while, may buy some extension tubes and give it a go on the cheap with my current lenses.

Heres a few from the other day for now though:

Thoughts and comments welcome :)

Also, if anyone knows how to deal with very bright reflective bits (first photo) when using flash let me know :)

Tried lowering your flash exposure comp on your camera?

I put mine on -2 to avoid the exact thing youre talking about when taking pictures.

If I lower the flash to much it wont show the car properly, Its a highly reflective strip. Numberplates are also a problem for that mater...

Both the flash and exposure as set manualy also so no use for exposure comp there.

Maybe a small dome difuser on the flash might help?

Serg,

The only way to compete with reflective things and flash is to bounce it. Although i assume that wouldn't be appropriate as you would lose too much flash power at basically night time. i.e. flash bounces and spreads from above, otherwise it will always reflect :( Try diffusing it with a tiny softbox.

Dont realy have anything to bounce it off, even if I did have Enough flash power. Will try a small softbox when I find some $ for it and see how I go there

rear 45 and sun roof shots are by far the best. gay shadows kill the other interior shots, the exteriors are bit dark. good shooting though

Went for the Putty rd cruise here today. took a couple shots. Here they are. I avoided the camera for a change. it was nice to just drive and chill out for a change :)

Yeah I noticed that headrest shadow afterwards... Kinda fkd the whole thing.

Use cactus triggers... Have a spare set if ya need one

I do need a set, but dont have much of a cashflow at the moment. lol.

As for headrest shadow, ive done it before. Easiest way I can think of to avoid it is to drop all the seats back as low as possible and out of the way. Well, that or use more flashes?

Nice car shots in here. Need to learn from you guys how to take pics of cars.

Here is my attempt.. washed my car for the first time in months so took a quick snap.

Hey just a shot that i took on my weekend away at Yallingup. Was kind of just chilling on the beach. Shot posted as i've taken it. I still havent gotten a new lens cos other stuff keeps coming up.

A new lens would be nice but you don't need one as long as you can still shoot :)

that shot is nice. What i think would have improved it... I probably would have moved to the right a bit so you could see the beach join up, and put more focus on the footprints/waves. nice shot though, relaxing :D

thats not too bad a shot Sidd, least you have the front wheels turned properly. Nothing worse than seeing car shots where the wheels are pointed at the camera (im guilty of this, lol)

only thing I would have done different is a slightly lower shooting angle... and tell that dog to piss off out of frame :P

heheh thanks jay :) I wanted the dog in there for the added "awwwww's"... hahaha just joking. Yea it was just a point and shoot shot. Got all my camera stuff out of the car, and took a quick snap before I walked to take pics of the groom on a horse :)

- Just a random image below to show you..

I love Indian weddings! Everything about them is so cool!

It's good to see your car clean lol. You should wash it more often, it always looks good in that pearly white colour.

Will post up snaps of the new evo tonight!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
