Ummmm. Look at the picture. is it focused on what you want? No? reshoot. Yes... move along. It does take a while to work out whats going on and you need to get your eye in, but you'll build confidence, I was happy snapping while strolling around after a couple hours of full manual, and that included light metering with out a guide on camera due to ancient lens.

Here's my first attempt at car lighting during sun up. Do you think it's a little over done, or just around right?

I adjusted the light in the sky a bit, it looked stuck on though because of the lighting. Maybe I'll try for a little more subtlety next time.

anyway, put up a rough 'feature layout' on the site. What's been written is pretty gay, just for space filler i guess and better than lorum ipsum :)

Thoughts?

Nice shot of your Evo! Like it a lot. Lighting definitely brings out the pop factor!

Checked out your website, few typos/spelling mistakes :) Besides that, seems like it will be getting on track!

Checked out your galleries, need more panning! That cloud shot from WTAC is friggin epic!!!!!

Nice work in getting your site up though :) You getting a blog or anything seeing as it is wordpress :)

Wow! they're amazing!!! That 2nd one could proudly be framed and hung on a wall in anyones house. Top effort man!

2nd attempt at strobist setup during sun (partially) up. The car is more evenly lit. The sky is natual, there's a shadow between the sky and car to seperate the two. I think it's a lot cleaner has a bit more pop.

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
