Well I wouldn't say I'm pro, I'd just say I've been shooting longer than most of you, but thanks all the same :)

Ok, photo is 6.5/10

I like:

you've thought about the shot.

framing is ok.

colours are nice

concept is sound.

i like placement of pole and skyline in foreground

i dont like:

youve tried to hard to either pull in colours of adjust exposure. see the halo around the wing?

could have framed better. get rid of half numberplate hole (distraction)

colour of car is to far off real colour

car could be brigter so it commands more attention.

thats my critique.

Well, 'more experienced' I should of said :P

Thank you for that! I rarely try and attempt under-exposed shots like these, but your 'don't likes' make a lot of sense :)

Thanks redline :)

Serk, take what i've said with a grain of salt. If you like something that I've said didn't work for me, keep doing it and keep refining it. at the end of the day it's about what makes you happy when you look at your finished work.

like this shot. this makes me happy. first shot of my car in ages. been avoiding shooting it since the lip got ripped off, but i reckon it looks pretty tough in this shot anyway :)

Ohh I understand that, it's just those little things that I could of fixed in post-processing that I didn't actually notice, but others did :)

EDIT: That is indeed a tough shot! Love it :P

Nice nice.

here's a recent beauty image. from russia with love

do u just find ur models and MUA's on mayhem or look elsewhere? I like this process better than the chick in the fezza but i reckon you've got to sharp here. to much constrast especially around her mouth. If you softened this shot up about 15-20% around those areas it'd be perfect! everything else is top shelf! your picking it up so quick man!

Terry's car is a photo whore.

& it gets my approval.

I'm amazed Ian, that Matt can highlight dark wheels against the white.

Normally as most would know, black wheels look flat due to ..........

some from MM, a lot of models approach my business asking to work with me now.

The ferrari shot - we were aiming for that look. Different situations require different styles.

Beauty images like this we aim to get sharp. The goal for us in this image was to show off the MUA's make up skill with the eyes and the lips. I used a 105 macro lens at f16 so I'd be sure I would get the details needed.

If you want a good example of how different situations require a different result in the finished details head to:

Then go through the different categories.

As with all art - it is subjective.

Perhaps I need to give a brief before each posting. No one size fits all in fashion and beauty ;)

Cheers :)

Love that beauty shot. IMO, i think it's spot on. Most beauty image closeups i've seen are as you said to show off the makeup more than anything.

Loving the N1 shots. Didn't even know Terry got an N1.

I took a bunch of photo's yesterday at the Bathurst 12 Hour, these are probably my favourites of the bunch. Interested to see what you guys who know what you are doing think of them, as I have done very little photography before, and this is my first attempt at motorsport photo's. Pics were resized in photoshop, but are otherwise unedited.

love this.

the positioning of the car, and the fact you can see brake caliper....

That last shot is great Brian, nice spot to shoot from :)

Dan, I'm not saying that either shot is bad, your people stuff is better than mine, I'm just offering my 2c for feedback. all good sir. I basically just think how would I have done this. Doesn't mean 'this is how you should have done this', just a different perspective that might stumble across something that didn't occur to you.

This was at the Motor magazine Twilight Track Night last Wednesday. I forgot to bring my 70-200mm lens, so I shot this from over the pits using my 17-55mm.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
