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 once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
