Hi lads,

(Sincerely sorry if this is the wrong spot for this...)

I'm looking for some guidance and tips for taking photos of a White car with black/CF accents (Wheels, lip, diffuser etc etc). Ie - Good backdrops for white cars, settings to use and general editing afterwards (programs, filters? etc).

I did the standard google research but it seems so varied based on peoples taste and general opinion, so thought I might have a little more luck here in a car specific community.

Camera i'll be using is a Sony DSC-RX100, from all the research I did it seemed pretty well suited to my purpose and one of the best options.

I basically know next to nothing about photography so please treat me as such, I may not know what your abbreviations mean and so forth.

Again i'm really sorry if this is the wrong place, I did my best to look for an appropriate forum for my query and this is the best I could find.

Thanks chaps,

Chris.

P.s : Photo of the car below, so you can see what i'm working with! ^_^

hi mate,

im beginning photography also, i recently bought a new slr. one of my cameras scenes is one point colour, basically i line up the shot then select the colour i want to stand out with the remaining colours going grayscale. maybe your sony has this option? if not im sure it wouldnt be too hard to edit this after to one point colour

also try not to have vertical things coming from your car in the background. maybe a good background would be the pinks/oranges of a sunset perhaps, might reflect on your paint and be real nice.

try joining australian photgraphy forum, heaps of people with know how on there, they also have an automotive photography section.

good luck

mick

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
