Hahahaha point and pray! You've got like 135 degrees of angle to play with don't you, so as long as it's semi accurate, you'll get the shot hopefully lol.

A couple random things from me.

5 minute impromptu shoot with a mates car. Didn't have any modifiers with me. Will shoot it again at a later date with more time hopefully :)

the shots you could get with an aquaone would make the initial expense worth it. but what an initial expense it is! i looked into cases for nikons and nearly died that the prices were near enough what the body was :O

awesome family shot there sidd! you certainly have a way with people and portraits.

I have always wanted to do underwater photography so one day will invest in a good case. The aquaone are about 1.8k US plus shipping. Have a feeling I will be taxed on it too at customs. But no way I can afford it right now. Perhaps end of year maybe.

Thanks for the kind words about the pics. Cheers jay :)

Redline Photography - That is light painting. Plenty of info out there on how to do it, everyones technique varies and what they use etc... but it's a lot of fun when you get to know what your doing! Black cars are extremely hard though so i will be keen to shoot that black car again to see what i can do. Hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't.

Josh - That's a rig shot. Shot with a boom hanging off the car. If you google rig shots, you will find out tonnes of info on it! The hardest part to get right is the boom and looks like Matt has got it right.

i thought this at first, and in general you are right, but... if you want shots with extreme "fisheye" curves then framing gets a bit trickier without a viewfinder. also getting up nice and close to subjects is a bit hit and miss, specialy if you want to use the curvature of the wide angle lens effectively. just my thoughts on it tho. some shots i wish i had tilted the cam just a few more degress to get better framing. i guess the more you use it the better you get at guessing what you will get.

Yep. what he said. it's a rig shot. basically you hang a pole off the car with a camera, move the car, shoot the car. it's quite a bit of work and if you want to do it right it gets exxy, but the results make it worth it :)

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
