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.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
