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!

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

      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.

      FD RX7 I would probably marry if legal R32 GTR is toughest NSX looks like it's made from leftover Prelude and Accord bits

      R34 Wheel Alignment Specs

      By silviaz · Posted

      When going to a suspension shop should I send them the default nissan settings or just let them do their own thing? I ask this because I have aftermarket rear camber arms and my car is lowered a bit (front end is basically stock after I change to those nismo bushes)

      Squeaky bushes

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ok sounds good, thanks for your help. Hopefully if I end up changing it to the nismo bushes I don't get that veering issue. I don't think there's a point in lubing up these bushes again. Weird that it it makes just as much noise with all the grease inside it versus without grease prior to removal. Bizarre.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, you don't need camber bushes on stock arms to make a car drive straight unless it's got another problem. F'rigsample, slide the thing into a kerb, bend the front subframe mounts a little....subframe is now twisted, shifted or otherwise in the wrong spot...and you need to do funky stuff with the wheel alignment to get it to drive straight. Maybe a little more caster on one side, or a little more camber. FWIW, I can have my camber off side to side by a half a degree or more, and either way, so more one side, or more on the other, and the car doesn't really want to pull to one side. It will definitely ride road camber differently, and want to track uphill (ie, towards the centreline when on the LHS of a normal crowned piece of road, like it should) or want to roll downhill (which it really shouldn't). But on fairly flat road surfaces, like the middle of a 3 or 4 lane motorway, a half a degree either way doesn't make a lot of difference. I sometimes do quite a few miles with my wheel alignment messed up, because I don't always get a chance to set it right again after a serious dismantling, before I have to drive it to work again. Like, a whole week's worth of daily shuffle.
