i probably shouldnt have said 'frame it right' as there is no right or wrong, but i said it because the sun seems to attract my eyes first and being slap bang in centre of frame my eyes just keep going back there instead of exploring the whole scene out properly. probably just me tho, its an awesome shot otherwise (exposure works so well, sky isnt too blown out and its not so dark that the car loses too much detail), i just would have tried getting more balance in there with different framing. like, sitting the sun over the end of the straight so the eyes grab the sun then follow the track back to the car, but other people probably dont see things in the strange ways i do. hence why im a bike messenger and not media.

Funny you say that - I didn't mention, I actually enjoy looking at the sun. I feel the car and the person are the 'extras' in this photo. This probably applies to no one else, but this is what I enjoy about this photo!

I like the sun shot how it is, both the car and driver are facing the sun directing you back to it. If its a picture of the sun and hot day it works, if its supposed to be a shot of the driver or car then what j says is correct. Sun should be in a secondary position. Perhaps just poking out from behind a bill board so your attention can sit on car driver. Either way I like it. It has a nice feel.

Any advice is always welcome, like I said I take photos for fun every now and then. I don't really know much about stuff like composition, framing etc.

Btw Jay I'm pretty sure I saw your ride past my site just now…on your back wheel lol

That's cool, I just like to see how other people think.

Matt your light painting shots are so awesome. Headlights and tail lights are what can make a car look so much nicer for me and you have made them pop nicely, so juicy. I would love a couple of those shots eventually.

some i took today with my phone(NOT i-phone)

one in the morning, one in the afternoon

Phones can take some pretty neat photos now.

If only there wasn't a tonne of noise on the left hand side of that afternoon shot.

Noise annoys me to hell now.. especially since I am using a 1000D... Looking to get my hands on a 7D very shortly because of it hehe

thanks mate. yeah, i like my phone because the cameras not THAT bad, after all, it is a phone with a camera, not a camera with a phone.

my bdays coming up, looking at getting my first decent camera, an EOS600D, dropping hints to the missus like crazy :D

i think shes caught on, now i play the waiting game....

probably, i was sitting in the young street car park watching the trucks getting loaded (lol) for a while.

monos on fixies are scary, haha. no back brake to help bring the front down if it gets a bit hairy, you just gotta stay committed.

Have you got any photos from when you used the 7D man? Would love to see them...

I will see if I can dig some up for you. But just remember im alwys shooting in low lit areas so the whole night im between iso1600-2500.

I could notice big difference between noise on the 7d and the 5dm2. Hense why I sold the 7d (backup camera), and bought another 5d2.

Another reason was that I didnt like the feel of the 7d in my hands (felt weird). Also I wanted two full frame cameras as it makes it easier to manage and quickly change settings etc.

Dont get me wrong the 7d is an excellent camera and I love its focus system (something the 5d2 lacks).

I found this a great review for the 7D and 5D and i think im sold on the 7D for price and useful features for learning.

Little silly comparing a full frame camera against a crop one. Also one that came out more than 2 years ago.

But yes for starting out and owning some efs lenses already, then the 7d will be the way to go.

Also I have had my 5d2 soaked in the rain from a modelshoot and it was totally fine. Was out in the rain for more than an hour.

But worth it :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
