Is the file location the URL or the HTML code that you can get...my files kept linking back to the sau main page...

I then tried to just upload the images but it only came up with little thumbnails... How do you make the preview thumbnail much bigger like everyone seems to do??

Hey guys.

Finally getting my car up after posting Terry's in the May thread...

Love the night city shots from you guys. Here's one from me, I hate the grain in my night pics - this was taken at ISO 800. Not sure if it's my D70 (pretty old model now) or what?

Also - Sidd I thought the nude model shots were great - at least the thread is only locked but it's still there to appreciate...

800 iso for a night shot would give some noise in any long exposure...

Try lowering it down as far as possible i.e 200 and put it on a tripod to counteract the longer exposure. Will reduce the nosie dramatically.\

Thanks Josh. Yeah exposure was about 16 seconds at f/18; it was on my tripod and there was a slight breeze but nothing that should have unsettled it; I thought I'd up the ISO to reduce my reliance on a longer exposure but guess I should have gone the other way. Cheers :)

Thanks team!

Matt, the waterdrops certainly complicated things, but i like a challenge. I don't want to give to much away, but i had to paint half of nicks 'beautiful' mug back in haha.

Eddy, no Behind the scene shots were taken. Mine was on the rig, Nicks was in his boot :P Basically, the camera was stuck on a pole that was stuck on the roof of his car.

have you guys tried shooting during blue hour?

Sure have, and do, and always try to - and as already pointed out we call it the golden hour :)

Awesome pic Sidd

How on earth did you link your flickr images? I cant for the life of me work it out....

Looks like you found the "Grab BBC Code drop down" :thumbsup:

Firstly awesome car mate! Secondly like Josh said try a low ISO like 100 or 200

(also f/18 wouldn't be very sharp either would it? could you open it up a little and still get the DoF you need?)

Don't think you need CC! Love this last one

Bit of CC - IMO the 1st one doesn't work - would have been better with front (or whole car) in focus :)

Great shot Matt. Nick's Stag is looking tough there. Nice job placing the rig without there being a noticeable absence of water droplets either...

LOL, Matt (God-speed), we were lucky in that where we placed one of the suction caps for the rig was right in the wiper's sweep area, so less drops needed to be edited in/out.

Thanks team!

Funnily enough, my car is very rarely clean for long, and almost never has been when we go out shooting (or for anything, actually, including the 2009 SnS), so I'm glad it doesn't show too much in these photos. :D Thanks again for doing these, Mr Everingham!LOL, Matt (God-speed), we were lucky in that where we placed one of the suction caps for the rig was right in the wiper's sweep area, so less drops needed to be edited in/out.

These three are my favourite, especially the side shot of both the GT3 RS and the Cayman! I have to agree with Zennon regarding the very first photo you posted, part of the car seems a bit out of focus - maybe a smaller aperture would work, I dunno.

      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.
