Pft Sif. Actually you know why that is? Because your tur-boss isn't fast enough. You need NOS. And a steering wheel button.

Ahh is this the nerd shots you did with my AB's?

Hahahaa wow. Didn't think you meant this nerdy but hahaha.

Would be even more epic if you had a hair light to show his slick rick hair. 2 lights FTL :down: I want a 3rd!

sad thing is there was no diffuser on that light ;) just a car sunshade thing to stop the camera picking up the trails... For what I know I could have messed up with the white balance adjustment aswell or the metering... Im pretty keen to get out there and do it again... but take with me something to piss the orange light off with haha

cheers for the tip though :)

Might have to borrow my mates 14-2X mm lens :)

Also props to GTRSEAN for helping with the light painting :) I painted in the lights and he did the cars was a bit of fun and experimenting

Calendar of him, would be epic. Although not a sight to behold!

I think Matts point is, it doesn't matter what lens your using, it matters how you light.

I think the lens your talking about is the Nikon 14-24 2.8. Good lens.

White balance is a bit cool, but thats expected because your using a LED light. Metering is to no avail here because you can't meter accurately enough as you are not providing constant light (e.g. flashing or strobing) and it looks pitch black where you were so the meter will be wrong and it will tell you to go longer than 30secs.

Light painting is about experimenting and finding the settings correct for you. The Camera couldn't of helped you out in this case.

The more you do the better you will get at it.

You're right about that... but using the 18 - 55mm DX lens on an FX camera...

The next step I think will be to get a remote trigger release for the camera so I can do the bulb setting... Having that orange light there didnt help with painting the cars as it created its own ghosting of us and sloanes car being silver reflected light away from the camera as opposed to the white cars ;)

So got any tips on painting silver cars? aside from brighter light?

Yes that is kurrjong look out... some dude pulled up in a stock S15 with a chick in the car... (P plater too) I think we ruined their night for about 2 hours!

I got no idea between the differences of Noinkon, but if it's like Canon e.g. Using an EF-S lens on a full frame camera, it's still workable. You can only blame the lens on the sharpness of the photo not the light ;)

Silver is the easiest colour of cars to take photos of. Whether it be flashes/strobed/light painted.

Get a brighter light and don't park under orange street lights? :)

The lens is only really going to affect your zoom level champ. you're camera knows what it is and will switch which will just give you a crop factor, so your 35mm from a smaller format will look more like what you'd expect from a 50mm. the sharpness wouldn't change more than a bee's dick.

Silver is the easiest colour to light man, you don't need any tips from us, you just need to do that 3 hours of internet research to catch up :)

I did some painting on a black xr6 at lunch. will post some shots up over the weekend. Made a new lighting rig today and tried it out. Haven't viewed shots outside of cam lcd but it looks promosing ;)

Day 045: December 3, 2010

Every day I have a run from a lawyers office to the registry at the courts and back. They have a ticket system and ever since I started I have wanted MY ticket. Well today I finally got it. I'll admit, i had to take two tickets to get it, but meh, whatever. lol. I'm sticking this one in my folder as some kind of achievement. Yeah I know, this obsession with the number 19 is probably not healthy, but I really dont give a f**k, haha.

:)

I've alwanted wondered that Jay and first i assumed you were 19. But seeing your ugly mug on facebook you definitely aren't 19 and when you mentioned kids ages ago i was like hhmmm... Then i thought favourite number. Then i thought Tegan and Sara song Nineteen. Now i'm asking you.

Please graciously answer my longing question so i can get in on this "unhealthy" obsession with 19.

haha. ok, the story is...

i applied for a job as a bike courier and the first company that hired me gave me the number 19. i was 19 at the time also. so for the next few years all i ever responded to over the radio was the call to 019. wasnt long before that number became me and things just got out of hand, haha.

and to keep up the unhealthy obsession...

all taken this month (today actually) to stay legal in this thread :)

i should start a '019' album and see how many photos i can fill it with... or maybe i should just see a psych, haha.

oh, and for those who are interested... i turned 34 this year.

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
