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.

Lol that's some epic posting there Nick! If it wasn't for you the rolling shots wouldn't of happened. Massive thanks goes to you. I hope your shots turned out awesome as well. Your always behind the scenes and rarely get to use your camera, so i hope you enjoyed the light painting sesh!

Here's something i haven't done before EVER!

Before....

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

Wow! You certainly get around, Zennon! Some great shots there man.

How old is that wreck?

Thanks - No idea hey - there are quite a few there (been dumped to create an artificial reef)

Where is that wreck?

At forster there was seriously 100 of those dead birds st the beach and more just in random spots. Anyone know what's going on there?k?????

Moreton Island - don't you read :blink:

Yeah was lots on Moreton too - apparently they flew into a big storm during their normal migration and died from pure exhaustion :D

Gradient overlay.

Brighter cars

Leaves removed

Pole removed

Sharpening.

What Di I win?

Yeah was gonna say you forgot about the speed sign! But all has been revealed now I see

Ps. that R34 GTR is sexy ;)

Maybe you should call me back!!!! hahah

not at work today dude.. feel very sick :D

Ahhh ok fair enough. I guess an excuse to edit photos!!!! Hahaha. Met with the clients yet? I'll call you after work (535'ish).

great processing kory :D

indeed. awesome job of cloning out the power lines, if you didnt see the before shot you wouldnt even know.

whats the content aware thing you were talking about? is that in ps or lr?

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.

Edited by Jay019

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!!

    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
