For some reason i immediately thought of dizzee's song from your "disko" title lol.

Good to see someone who doesn't use 180 degree angles! Necksnappers.

For a beginner mate, your definitely getting the hang of it! Can't really comment much on the carpark shots as they are carpark shots, but have you thought about using a flash moderately for those kind of meet ups? Looks like you left the camera on the ground as a tripod, good idea.

Some of your white balances need to be corrected in some shots, and your horizons need to be straightened up, but for a beginner mate, your definitely learning and off to a good start :)

Keep posting up in the monthly threads or here!

White balance.... Hmmm im not even sure what and how to correct that. Will have to ask a mate to show me what it is.

I didnt have a tripod so i had to use the ground but i just bought one so thats no longer a problem.

As for disko hehe thats my trucks name too hehe so i thought id use it here too.

Well thx for the tips and encouragement, ill look into that 'white balance' thing and try to improve.

Cheers, addz.

You can adjust white balance on the camera too. Adjust it for different conditions, different types of light. Can also mix it up for differing colours. Best to touch up in post as well.

By the way, great beginning shots mate! And like Kory said, make sure you contribute to the monthly threads :)

Bro, that's a sick shot of the Silvia, especially for a beginner.

I've recently begun my career in automotive photography, and I can say that your use of angles is nice. Canons are fast, and you should consider track-based photos. I also like your Supra shot :D

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
