how do you do that? all my cloud shots end up boring and improperly exposed

I generally shoot in manual mode so i can adjust all settings individually. For clouds id usually put the aperture up in the higher numbers say F13-F22 to get a good depth of field and then adjust the shutter speed appropriately say up around around 1/320 sec or there about's depending on how bright it is.

I guess it also depends on what camera your using, if you have a point and shoot camera you might not have all those options available.

For the black and white shot the settings i had were ISO 100, 1/320 sec [shutter speed], F13 [Aperture]. The camera used was a Canon 40d with a 50mm F1.8

Hope this helps :D

some i took today.........after my graphics were finished :(

Awesome :P So is there a big demand for graphics on cars?? Just curious..

Beside my love for Skylines, this is my other passion ..... Calibras

Still quite new at photography, so any hints will be appreciated smile.gif

My 2 cents. You dont have to take my seriously.. just my input..

1st shot - Feels like a really quick happy snap without much thinking. Looks like you were trying to cram it all in. Good tip is to move your feet.

2nd shot - nice shot. The main focus is on the car so you have achieved that!!

rolling shots - i think you did a great job ;)

last shot - move your feet once again. If the focus is meant to be on the wing, then shoot the wing only..

Like i said, its just my 2cents.. you dont have to listen to me :)

Thanks for ur opinion siddr20, most welcomed.

just one thing though, when u say move your feet, what are you referring too?

Literally move your feet.

Get a better angle of your shot so to say!!

Eg) that 1st shot. If you moved towards the middle of the three cars you could have got all three in the shot. Or focus on only two of them.

cheers. that 50mm lens really is a great sharp lens.

Indeed.. i still love my 50mm lens..

A quick star trail attempt from tonight.

Really wanted to keep going at it, but i have to wake up early tomorrow morning :thumbsup:

The skies are so clear atm!! Wish i had a telescope to point out into the stars!!

Oh and yes you can see some hot pixels :thanks:

Really wanted to take individual photos of couple of seconds each and batch them (rather than one long exposure), but i didn't have time to leave the camera there for an hour and come back.. need sleep!!

Anyways hope you like it

      Hey man Thank you! Excited to be here Mostly 4 doors ER, HRs not much of 2 doors, I personally know 3 guys that have coupes And yeah, they are some BNRs, BCNRs, not that much left, some of them went to EU.   Thanks, actually the conversion was done by previous owner, I wanted to get it even when it was 20DE AT cause the chassis was taken care well but getting it with MT turbo wasdefinitely an additional pleasure 😃

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Hey guys   I'm pretty sure this question was asked before, I had an HR34 before, got another one again and I never gave much attention to this but wanted to ask you guys about dropping or pushing bonnet problem. ER, HR got pretty heavy steel bonnets, I'm sure S chassis and other R chassis gens also got heavy bonnets. I used to push it after I gently put it down on the latch but I saw some videos guys dropping it from 30-40 cm and some say it's more reliable way to make sure it's safely closed. I let it drop a couple times from like 30-40 cm and it's locked no problem but it gives me that bad OCD feeling after that that something is damaged lol, the bonnet rubbers is there, guess they handle that little fall energy well and the latch itself is what stops the bonnet right?  Talked to other Skyline owners, some say both methods are fine, some against dropping it by any means, some drop all the time no problem. So I'm like confused if I was doing it wrong or not and if I already messed up something. ...and jealous of my friend's Z, dropping aluminum bonnet feels so much right and better haha

      Hi Jay! Welcome to  ! Are there many Skylines over there? Does the ---> mean you have converted it to turbo and manual? Very cool.

      Hello there 😃 Cheers from Kazakhstan to everyone, got myself HR34, RB20DE AT ---> RB20DET MT   Nothing fancy, mostly stock, had an HR34 before but the goal was finding a rust free one (impossible), but this one is definitely cleaner than the last one 😃
