For some reason i immediately thought of dizzee's song from your "disko" title lol.

Good to see someone who doesn't use 180 degree angles! Necksnappers.

For a beginner mate, your definitely getting the hang of it! Can't really comment much on the carpark shots as they are carpark shots, but have you thought about using a flash moderately for those kind of meet ups? Looks like you left the camera on the ground as a tripod, good idea.

Some of your white balances need to be corrected in some shots, and your horizons need to be straightened up, but for a beginner mate, your definitely learning and off to a good start :)

Keep posting up in the monthly threads or here!

White balance.... Hmmm im not even sure what and how to correct that. Will have to ask a mate to show me what it is.

I didnt have a tripod so i had to use the ground but i just bought one so thats no longer a problem.

As for disko hehe thats my trucks name too hehe so i thought id use it here too.

Well thx for the tips and encouragement, ill look into that 'white balance' thing and try to improve.

Cheers, addz.

You can adjust white balance on the camera too. Adjust it for different conditions, different types of light. Can also mix it up for differing colours. Best to touch up in post as well.

By the way, great beginning shots mate! And like Kory said, make sure you contribute to the monthly threads :)

Bro, that's a sick shot of the Silvia, especially for a beginner.

I've recently begun my career in automotive photography, and I can say that your use of angles is nice. Canons are fast, and you should consider track-based photos. I also like your Supra shot :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
