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.

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

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 :)

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
