Hey guys, just found this section so i thought i would post a few pics, i do allot of track work up at Mallala International Raceway here in South Australia, don't do much skyline stuff but a small group of them came up to a track day recently along with the new R35 GTR so i put in a few of the photos from that day, almost all my work is with Porsche's, mainly 997 GT3's so i put in a few of the photos i have sold of them to.

The first picture was requested by a client to be printed as an A1 size poster so i did that for him and it turned out incredible!! no pixelation what so ever, so if anyone is interested in one you can PM me, also some of my work is for sale here,

I have managed to get a whole day photo shoot with the first South Australian delivered new GTR when it lands here in June 2009, it will be a Black on Black/red interior, the white one pictured below is a grey import and isn't a Australian delivered car, will keep you guys posted on the photoshoot.. anyways, enjoy the photos, comment to let me know what you guys thing, good AND bad comments :D

I think you should take those pictures down and upload them properly and embed it again.

The pictures are all dark/soft/not sharp etc etc

I just went to that site you listed and the pictures look a lot sharper and clearer (esp the first photo)

Nice work and pls list what gear you are using :ninja:

Also any panning shots??

what lenses do you have?

the shots shown above were taken with either my 18-135mm nikon lens or the tamron 70-300mm, i also have a 10-20mm sigma lens but that is yet to make it to a track day. when i get the D300 the 10-20 will be making more of an appearance

Dont mean to hijack your thread so I apologise.

With lens choice. Ive been told tamron and sigma brand lens are crap. I currently have a nikon kit lens 18-55mm and a 50mm F1.8 prime lens.

Looking for something with longer focal length like a 70-200 F2.8 but the price for the nikon is nuts!! is the sigma/tamron alternative any good in your opinions? I have a Nikon.

Thanks

i don't know who told you the tamron and sigma are crap....... i can tell you now they are not!! if you can afford it you should go for the nikon brand, but other than that the third party ones such as Tokina and sigma are 98% as good as the nikon/cannon ones and tamron is not that far behind. the third party ones are awesome for the price, i know many pros that use them as they can not justify the price. the main differences is the build quality, not saying they are crap, they are very good but the nikon are just a little bit more durable. also sharpness, they claim to be more sharp but every person i talk to can not pick it.....

hope that helps.

let me know if you need more info

I dont know whos told you tamron and sigma lens are crap. THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE LOL!!!

If they were crap they wouldn't be in business. Professional photographers wouldn't use them if so!!

The price is expensive for that nikon lens you posted above (70-200 F2.8) coz its f 2.8 :) Its bloddy quick :(

If its VR it will be even more expensive.

Do you really need it?

Why not start of with something like this: 55-200 f4-f5.6 nikon lens VR

See if this suits your needs.

Heck even try out the 70-300mm f4.-5.6 AF --- BLOODY CHEAP!!! like under 200 bucks

That lens also comes with AF-S and VR - i think under 800 bucks..

I know there is a 80-200 one too.. About 1.4k :)

With some you can notice the big difference :(

Esp if you comparing it with the stock kit lens for example.

But yup the sigma/tamron are great alternatives :)

      George's R33 GTST build

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      George's R33 GTST build

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
