Is the file location the URL or the HTML code that you can get...my files kept linking back to the sau main page...

I then tried to just upload the images but it only came up with little thumbnails... How do you make the preview thumbnail much bigger like everyone seems to do??

Hey guys.

Finally getting my car up after posting Terry's in the May thread...

Love the night city shots from you guys. Here's one from me, I hate the grain in my night pics - this was taken at ISO 800. Not sure if it's my D70 (pretty old model now) or what?

Also - Sidd I thought the nude model shots were great - at least the thread is only locked but it's still there to appreciate...

800 iso for a night shot would give some noise in any long exposure...

Try lowering it down as far as possible i.e 200 and put it on a tripod to counteract the longer exposure. Will reduce the nosie dramatically.\

Thanks Josh. Yeah exposure was about 16 seconds at f/18; it was on my tripod and there was a slight breeze but nothing that should have unsettled it; I thought I'd up the ISO to reduce my reliance on a longer exposure but guess I should have gone the other way. Cheers :)

Hey Guys,

Few images i took at my last meeting in between runs...it was my first attempt at panning so i would love some cc as i always like to improve...

Thanks

Thanks team!

Matt, the waterdrops certainly complicated things, but i like a challenge. I don't want to give to much away, but i had to paint half of nicks 'beautiful' mug back in haha.

Eddy, no Behind the scene shots were taken. Mine was on the rig, Nicks was in his boot :P Basically, the camera was stuck on a pole that was stuck on the roof of his car.

have you guys tried shooting during blue hour?

Sure have, and do, and always try to - and as already pointed out we call it the golden hour :)

Awesome pic Sidd

How on earth did you link your flickr images? I cant for the life of me work it out....

Looks like you found the "Grab BBC Code drop down" :thumbsup:

Firstly awesome car mate! Secondly like Josh said try a low ISO like 100 or 200

(also f/18 wouldn't be very sharp either would it? could you open it up a little and still get the DoF you need?)

Hey Guys,

5712836459_dde0745681_z.jpg

Don't think you need CC! Love this last one

Bit of CC - IMO the 1st one doesn't work - would have been better with front (or whole car) in focus :)

Great shot Matt. Nick's Stag is looking tough there. Nice job placing the rig without there being a noticeable absence of water droplets either...

LOL, Matt (God-speed), we were lucky in that where we placed one of the suction caps for the rig was right in the wiper's sweep area, so less drops needed to be edited in/out.

Thanks team!

Funnily enough, my car is very rarely clean for long, and almost never has been when we go out shooting (or for anything, actually, including the 2009 SnS), so I'm glad it doesn't show too much in these photos. :D Thanks again for doing these, Mr Everingham!LOL, Matt (God-speed), we were lucky in that where we placed one of the suction caps for the rig was right in the wiper's sweep area, so less drops needed to be edited in/out.

These three are my favourite, especially the side shot of both the GT3 RS and the Cayman! I have to agree with Zennon regarding the very first photo you posted, part of the car seems a bit out of focus - maybe a smaller aperture would work, I dunno.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
