Sneaky Peakie from Yesterday. This was so under-exposed, i'm extremely happy with the 7D after this shot! Was around 1.5 stops under because somehow i flicked to my C1 setting lol.

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.

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 :P I wonder if Pez has run through the audio yet? :P

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.

This shot should keep a random member quite happy. You could turn this into a poster from a magazine easy :)

I'm hanging to see a few more of the motion shots dude.

Quadruple EPIC score right there! Lucky we're not playing Scrabble or sumsing, it'd be a close-run game...

Evan the super-ninja was stoked today when I spoke to him, and is looking forward to seeing the shots of his car. If I'd known he was buying one, I would have told him to come along during the day as well, seeing as he and his wife live in Penrith right near the F4 freeway. They're two of the nicest, calmest people you could meet, yet they're both like 11ty Dan ninjas in whatever martial arts they do.

Almost matt! Lol Owen, thats correct as well.

On my work monitor i can't even see the power lines in the first "before" shot, but there were about 6 power lines spanning the length of the photo. I really enjoy content fill-aware for doing this and then touching it with with cloning/healing brush.

Opened it as a smart object and dropped the exposure 2 stops for the sky.

Same as Above for the cars, except added about 0.70 of a stop.

Same as above for ground except added 1.15 of a stop.

Same as above for the trees and grass except about 0.60 of a stop.

And then added some contrast, got rid of the power pole, the 60 sign, got rid of cr@p in Duncans window in the background, burnt the bonnets cause they were so friggin bright and sharpened and resized.

You all win.... Matt for 1 days amusement/pleasure!

Sweet painting shots Matt, they turned out awesome.

Eric - I don't think anythings as wide as your fat bertha whale hahahaha :P

Thanks Sidd and Jay :D

Yep, its a new feature of CS5. Youtube it man!! You don't know what your missing out on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course you have to touch up with the healing brush and clone tool, but my god does it make it much much easier when matching tones. I find it struggles pretty hard around cluttered power lines e.g. Power pole with lots of lines branching off it. But to clone out the single lines, long brush strongs help alot. It seems that when they are close it picks up the other lines and clones them back in. Frustrating in a way, but i suppose if i use it more i will learn how to get around this!

ah ok, so you reckon it would be ok for removing scribbles over the top of graffiti? cause thats a major PITA to remove just using a clone tool (some times impossible, well with my limited skills, lol)

EDIT: OK, just saw a vid and man, nearly fell off my chair! The highest ranking comment says it all really...

"Wow. This is probably is the closest thing as a 'make awesome' button would do."

damn, i really should get to know all the tools in CS5 seeing as I'm using that, lol.

Lololololololol +2 (Get it?)

Press "J" and it is defaulted onto content fill.

It works with some things, just gotta get used to what it can fix good and what needs retouching. If your using CS5 jay, start bashing that mofo!!

      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.

      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.

      Squeaky bushes

      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.
