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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
