oooo i like photo comps!!! :D

nice lighting there. single flash? Softbox?

Cheers, single 580EX II fired with pocket wizards through a white bed sheet hanging of a clothes line :)

This was shot in my back yard, about 5 meters behind him is a garden and a fence

70-200 2.8 at F8 and around 100mm

No doubt they are the best out there. Just that I have been so busy lately and havnt even used it or tested it :(

Hopefully this week i can.

On other news im not liking the 7d in regards to holding it and how its moulded. Feels weird compared to my 5dm2 and my hand gets more tired.. Sounds funny but I like the 5dm2 instead lol..

Should have just got another 5dm2.. sigh

How do you find the image quality of the 7D vs 5D Mk II? I realy need a second body and for what I do (mostly motorsport) the 7D on paper at least seems like a good coice

The other option is a 1D Mk 2n. Curently I shoot everything on the 5D II

To be honest I haven't taken many shots with the 7d. Bought it as a backup body and will use my 5dm2 90% of the time. Ideally I wanted another full frame so both bodies are identical etc.

But to answer your question the 7d will be more suited for you esp for motorsport photography. Better fps, better focus systems/points and most importantly for you its a crop body so you get more reach.

As soon as the 5dm3 comes out I will be selling the 7d. Feel like selling it now as I dont like holding it even with a grip. The whole body seems heavier than 5dm2. Not sure if its just me or if it really is heavier in specs.

For now will just use it as backup camera.

But what I have read on paper the 5dm2 is much better at higher ISO's..

I say go for it, or wait till I sell mine when the 5dm3 comes out lol..

thanks man :) Appreciate it! I'm currently using that one as my wallpaper!

Had a shoot last night with a rally replica Evo 5. Looked pretty coool cruisin through the mountains. Sounded pretty cool too. I've got 2 more SAU cars to finish before i get to the rest of these, Expect more from this set later in the week, or early next week! Here is something to get you interested though :P

I looked at the prices of the 7D after you where telling me you where interested in one for a backup and its a fair price difference between it and the 5dmk2! Its a shame it doesn't "feel" right after using the 5d as i too was almost thinking of downgrading to one to save a bit of money :(

The main thing im worried about with the 7D is a noticable drop in immage quality and sharpness from the 5D. There is a lot of pixels on a small sensor there...

While im here, heres a few from the weekend:

Should have saved up a bit more and just bought your 5dm2.. oh wells.. will sell the 7d as soon as the 5dm3 comes out.

Btw still havnt used your flash lol.. still sitting there in box :P

Kory shoots with a 7d. Might be best to ask him since he does motorsport as well.

i've played with Kory's 7d and it's perfect for motorsport. If i didn't have nikon lenses I'd get a 7d in a heartbeat. it's tracking ability and speed is amazing. coupled with some good glass i doubt you'd notice much difference in quality. it's a little beast. I even like holding it :P it's a good size and shape to hold while on the move.

matt, when you stack these in photoshop how do you blend the layers? lighten/darken?

also, maybe erase the background in all but one layer. can see where the camera shifted slightly between shots.

damn good work tho, love your style. im still keen to try this style out one day, need to sort out a lightbox of some kind.

usually lighten and mask. i will be retouching this one. the background is lit differently over a couple shots as I was using 2 flashes at a time. still, there's a few things i need to do on this one to clean it up. need to finish the other 2 cars first though before i go back to it. thanks for the tips though :) I thought you'd appreciate this set more than most ;)

Thanks for the comments on the lizard shots, guys!

Man, only one of my shots from that shoot on Sunday night turned out well, so here it is:

Most of my other ones were underexposed and/or blurry, and at the moment I really CBF working to bring them back to something worth posting.

    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
