^ you missed a few spots with the colour history brush tool. People still do that sort of stuff?

What made you do that to this picture? Just curious.

To me its cheesy and makes the image look worse. My 2 cents. Sorry dont mean to sound harsh.

Otherwise even lighting on the car.

Hey guys, I'm building some stuff for my video rig and though I'd share this one since it will also work for any SLR zoom lens.

I wanted a more controllable way to zoom when I have my camera in video mode.

I got this downspout clamp from Bunnings for $5. I just cut the tabs and drilled a hole to put the clamping screw through (a nice long one from one of my extra follow focus gears).

It really turned out well and the zoom is so much more fluid and smooth since I can control it better.

Just thought I'd share.

hey nice! i was thinking about something like this for doing 'zoom burst' photos.

where did you get that threaded bolt type thing (do they have a specific name, lol)

finding stuff like that is half the battle when it comes to making cool stuff like this

I love your ghetto mods pezman. they're rad. we should make a new site called ghetto-mods.com! :P

I had a crack at some studio styled shots the other day, just did a few quick adjustments here... what do u think? I've spotted a couple flaws on most them already but feedback is gold.

Haha yeah. Such a good colour. Blue just pops so much easier.

BTW - Those Fiat 500 shots, did you paint the shadows in? First shadow looks a lot "real-er" than the rear shot. Or maybe it's the low angle and shape of the car, looks like a pyramid haha.

Such a rad car. I want one!!

The screw was from another accessory I have for my camera - some big follow focus gears. But I figure if you used some threaded rod you can just lock a couple of washers on one end between two nuts to make a thumb screw and then you just need some round or triangle pieces to drill and tap. Really Easy.

Had an hour or so to play with my new lens and wanted to see what it can do for night photography (Panasonic 20mm 1.7 Prime). These are really just a trial run to make sure I can get decent capture of stars. I want to do some star gazing time lapse with an intervalometer. I'm pretty pleased with the results straight out of the camera.

Kory, love the S15 shot! I agree, that blue looks amazing on them. When I was deciding on a car almost 6 yrs ago, it was either going to be a blue S15 or the LOLvo.

Matt, that little 500 looks odd from that angle.

Thanks Nick :)

Rainbow beach looks epic!!!

alan_key - Do you live on the beaches? And have you been looking at The-Lowdown lately ;) Turned out good! Maybe use another flash on camera right for some more fill and to kill the shadows?

Another from Bree's Shoot.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
