a mate and i are wanting to get into photography - and at the moment we are just fiddling with your regular digitals.

i have a sony cybershot and he has a nikkon - both pretty cheapish. will probably be interested in getting a DSLR in future if all goes well. in the mean time i'm quite content with these cheapies.

- i've noticed once transferring the pics to a computer that signs and poles tend to find their way behind the cars.

- still need to fiddle with exposure settings (any help as to what the numbers etc mean?)

- reflections of people, tripod and pipes etc tend to get annoying.

we spent the good part of 2-3 hours just mucking around and trying to find our zone.

but we are pretty clueless on whitebalance, iso, and basically everything else.

any feedback or hints and tips would be much appreciated.

here are a few sample shots, none of these have been retouched - only smaller res.

hey mate,

few hints/tips

iso: light sensitivity - the higher the number the more 'noisy' your pics will be especially in low light. in low light shots try to use the lowest iso...

white balance..dont worry so much about that just leave it on auto

just take lots and lots of photos in varying conditions..also look at other peoples and see how they've done stuff..angles/lighting/composition..

DSLR helps too, i started out on a little compact canon digicam and got some decent shots out of that too..but yeah the DSLR is a world of difference..even compared to some of the top point/shoot style cameras..

check out some of my pics if you want..check my sig

cheers

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons

      Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
