1 the front needs some light. it's to dark.

2 the colours are off, try to make the white balance more natural looking and less yellowy.

3 i dont mind the iso noise if it helps tell the story, you would want to steetr clear of it if your presenting a super clean car or a gorgeous girl, but if your shooting a tough looking car in a back alley, or a rough looking subject the noise can actually add to the shot.

4 that filter effect is horrible man. it's good to play with it and see what you can or can't do though. not saying don't try stuff, just saying the end result of this experiment doesnt help tell your story or make your subject look better.

Cheers man, i've had a bit more of a play with the colour balance and I think im getting the hang of it. The lights i was shooting under didnt seem too bad in person, but its turned out really yellow in pretty much all the shots I took.

Do you have any suggestions on different filters to use to create background blur, or is it more a case of not bothering with it if you cant get it naturally?

First go at a proper Panorama shot. It's not perfect but pretty happy with it. Worked out later on that the camera was level facing the direction I started shooting but as I turned it started to slant, but oh well lol. Gotta start somewhere (not sure how its going to come out in here

I was doing scenery shots, and the car was just parked in the right spot to include it :)

I have this one as well, but I didn't take enough time with it and focused the rocks not the car :domokun:

Doens't look that out of focus but still noticable:

Couple of shots that didn't make the set. Car is featured in current Street Machine Hot Rods. One of Australia's iconic 'tuner' cars of years gone by. FJCoupe. It was built/modified in the 60's and been hiding in a garage for 40 years. Recently restored. Was a great little car :)

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
