Just use a layer mask and crank up the blacks to see if there is any detail there. If there is any detail in the sky, just do a single HDR of the sky and mask it in.

Or you could use a gradient. Up to you lol.

I like both photos, i think the 2nd photo a CPL could of really helped. Or an ND even and a longer exposure. Keep it up mate, all about practice!

P.S. Matt - I do have steady hands but thats not the reason i turn it off ;)

No worry John, they're good shots, they show something different to what people see when they stroll around and thats good. you've got an eye for a shot, that's the hard bit. now you just need to do the easy (but long) part, practice, and learn as much as you can about ur gear and shots. Learning will give you more options and help open your eyes to some the possibilitiles that a shot could form.

Keep posting! Welcome to the team ;)

If you don't take multiple exposures but your shooting raw you can open the file, increase or decrease the exposure, re save it as e.g. file0001_LOW or file0001_High.You can merge these multiples later. This will only work well if what you're trying to capture isn't to far off your shot i.e. way to dark, way to bright.

zenNon, I was explaining bracketing. Where've you been hiding anyway?

Kory - WOW. That looks amazing!

I had a quick play with a few of the photos when we stuck the gopro in auto on the side of Nick's car. Had a little play with cropping and some color adjustments. Obviously no substitute for the kind of stuff you & Matt are doing, but not a bad result from a $300 rig.

Thanks Eric :ermm: Matt got some sweeeet shots as well, i donno when he will post up, but check the shot on his flickr. I'd link it, but that would be copyright, right? Haha.

I reckon that is sweet, from a dedicated video camera, especially a go-pro. Did you sort through the audio? Haha. Looking forward to the BTS video if you create one :huh:

Oh and Falcon - So jealous of NY. Would love to go there one day, i could spend years taking photos there!

Sorry Maikul, I've been to busy of late to look for you. I'll have squiz through the week when I can.

Sexy shot Kory, I think the Gopro beats it down though :ermm: I wonder if Pez has run through the audio yet? :huh:

Here's my teaser from yesterday.

I was really happy at how the day ran and the results. It's a shame that a couple missed out on the paint session.

Hehe, yeah boys I went through the audio although it is a bit hard to hear over Nick's exhaust note. I know I'm a pain and always get in the shot - lol!

I wish you could set the exposure a bit more on the GoPro. It always tries to just shoot as fast as it can so it misses out on all that lovely motion blur unless you're going pretty fast.

Pr0n shot Matty!

Hahahaha. Funny. Crank it up really really loud :ermm:

What about if you grabbed a frame from the video not the actual photo it takes every 2 seconds? That would have the wheels spinning etc... wouldn't it?

And yep - The Go pro definitely smokes my results. I wasted all my money on photography gear, i coulda just bought a gopro!

      Squeaky bushes

      By silviaz · Posted

      Maybe but doubt it, when I jacked it up it was creaking in the j arm again. The inners are all good, I inspected them. Remember that also it did fix the problem but temporarily.

      Could be the other bushes. The inners.

      Once you lose the adjustable bushes, you have almost no adjustment at the front for anything that matters. You can only wind so master caster at the front, and ~7° is fine. You won't have choice of front camber. If you only have rear camber arms (ie, do not also have adjustable upper tension arms), you shouldn't change their length very much, because you will introduce bump steer. And, you will struggle to find a workshop that will be capable of doing all the adjustment work necessary to simultaneously achieve a decent rear camber number, get the toe right, and minimise bump steer. I would guess there's probably 8 hours of work there. So, stockish rear camber is fine. Although, keep in mind, that stock camber, by number value, does not mean stock arm length when the car is lowered. You will need to lengthen the RUCA to get back to stockish values and that will require the tension arm to be lengthened a little also. Without any other guidance, any change made to the RUCA should have the 2/3 of the same change made on the tension arm. But that is only a rough rule of thumb and the relationship might not remain linear across a wide range of adjustments. And it might not also be as close to minimum bump steer as you could achieve if you did the bump steer measurement and adjustment properly.

      Well it does have a motor with the same DNA as an Accord V6 motor. The J30A is a successor to the Tiger rice cooker C32A motor found in those cars.
