Those interior shots of the S15 are awesome Matboy...light painted?

Couple of photos from a friend's wedding last weekend...

And some from the recent Fuel magazine Issue 10 launch party...

Absolutely love this stuff mate, well done.

Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate the feedback. Experimenting with the light painting's good fun! The idea that you never know what you're gonna get until several minutes after you're done flailing around with a light in your hands is pretty cool - can be frustrating though too I guess - that first exposure was about 150 seconds from memory!

Nice shots of the red S15; taken at golden hour then?

Had a go at light painting... let me know what you think?

Nice dude!

Only thing I would suggest (and im surprised it wasnt mentioned yet) is to diffuse the light source you are using to avoid the stripey effect your getting, where you can see each individual LED as a single line in the group (unless you dont mind that effect, in which case dont listen to me, lol)

Other than that matching the different light color temps is something you could work on. You have the warmer tungsten lighting in the interior of the car and then the colder LED lighting on the outside. You could probably adjust the color temps in PP if you shoot raw or take one shot for the warmer light (tungsten white balance) and one shot for the colder light (fluro or thereabouts white balance) and then blend them together in post. Again, if the different color temps dont bother you then no need to listen to me, lol)

The framing is awesome and love the red from the tail-lights, very nice.

Matt, that second shot is messing with my head man, im trying to work out how the car got so blue considering the lighting in the rest of the scene. its like a motion light painted shot or something? *brain expoldes, lol*

Great feedback Jay, thanks a lot mate :)

Yeah for the first shot, I would have liked to diffuse the LED light - I've got a beauty dish on order so when it comes, I need to figure out how to attach my LED light to the dish to get the best diffused effect. For the second shot though I actually wanted some of that 'ribbon' effect of the reflected LEDs - I also think I could have added more light to the roof of the car and to the rear (bumper and behind the rear wheel) as the black car on a black background doesn't quite stand out.

The colour temperature is an interesting point. I don't shoot in RAW but it's still something I will look at next time. Particularly with the beige colour of the leather and incandescent interior lights the pure white light of the LEDs stands out.

The blue is from the headlight flare. Without the lights on it's reddy/slight orangey tint. Car was strobed, so had to add a bit of sunset over it to make it blend, then the lights just killed it anyway hahaha oh wells. trying new stuff :)

So much light painting radness Matt, good stuff!

And other Matt - Good stuff.

And Jay - Good stuff.

How awesome was the above? ^.^

In the meantime, here's Russmans R32 GTST blasting around PI in it's last shakedown before WTAC!

Very nice pics God_speed and MaTBoY, look fantastic as always.

Thanks boys :)

Kory - super clean pan - I like the lack of distracting signage etc in the background; just the kitty litter, grass and track

thanks man :) Appreciate it!

Kory, you've made me wanna head south. ALl the shots from P.I. look amazing! Shooting next to the ocean. not to mention the grass is actually green :P

Here's some a shot with some greenage. and NOT A CAR IN SIGHT!

good to see you experimenting, love seeing what you can come up with.

have you tried playing with strobe gels? you can get a free ROSCO sample pack from... http://www.rosco.com/australia/sbreqs/index.cfm

I was using them to match color temps just before I sold the DSLR and strobes. not always spot on, but with some experimentation you can get so close that its hard to tell which light is from one source and which is from another.

I do have a set of small gel's for flash, but they're so damn hard to get off the sample holder thing that i gave up haha. i need to buy some larger ones for the Bee's. I think i had a different brand, so maybe i'll try to get a set of these to play with too :) playing with colour is the best!

That looks fantastic, I actually remember seeing some similar photos you took of a bayside blue 34 GTR a few months ago and falling in love with them.

thats a sick pan kory! even inspired me to click the link to check the rest of the article ;)

speaking of pans, walking home to the train station tonight id thought i would have a go at stupid long pans. this one is 1 second. theres more on my flickr (linked from this pic) if anyone is interested.

    • 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"
