did you use software to blur the backgrounds into perfect bokeh?

definitely software. you can see the edge of the selection in the first pic (looks like a halo around the cars that is slightly brighter than the rest of the background)

Yes mate. Cars didnt pop as much as I wanted them to so blurred the background a bit more.

Still learning, so thanks for picking that up. Thought i removed the halo's but will try focus on this more for next time.

How about you guys? Do you use software to finalise your pics as well?

really impressive dan! you've got skills! Love the first shot. not one thing I dislike or would change.

went to wtac. was rad.

i havent used it to fake bokeh, but one of the things that gives it away is the unfocused ground right under the in focus cars. wouldnt happen with an in camera shot. maybe try to fade out the selection on the plane where the focus would naturally fall. also, did you feather the edge of the selection or do anything to 'refine' the edges? not a bad attempt, much better than some I have seen thats for sure. but yeah, still has a few of those tell tale signs that are easy to spot. the bottom two arent too bad, but the top one its a bit easier to spot.

awesome lighting and perfect white balance tho (something i worry too much about, lol) and composition is spot on.

Thanks for the tips mate.

I've learnt through reading photo tutorials and wanted to give that form of editing a go, still trying to perfect so really appreciate the advice, anything to make my photos better.

I didnt blur the actual ground, only from the cars front lips up. I did drop a soft light gradient from the bottom of the pic up to the front lips though as the ground looked a little too over exposed for my liking. Maybe this is where it went overboard?

ps: I love the night shots in your last post, I'm a real fan of the slow shutter stuff.

used light room and ps above to remove some flag poles

i use it a bit for graff shots. like joining up multiple pics of long walls and removing trees and stuff. most times when doing the joinups i just use the automated tools, but it doesnt always go to plan...

i also use it to fix stuff like flash glare...

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
