i probably shouldnt have said 'frame it right' as there is no right or wrong, but i said it because the sun seems to attract my eyes first and being slap bang in centre of frame my eyes just keep going back there instead of exploring the whole scene out properly. probably just me tho, its an awesome shot otherwise (exposure works so well, sky isnt too blown out and its not so dark that the car loses too much detail), i just would have tried getting more balance in there with different framing. like, sitting the sun over the end of the straight so the eyes grab the sun then follow the track back to the car, but other people probably dont see things in the strange ways i do. hence why im a bike messenger and not media.

Funny you say that - I didn't mention, I actually enjoy looking at the sun. I feel the car and the person are the 'extras' in this photo. This probably applies to no one else, but this is what I enjoy about this photo!

I like the sun shot how it is, both the car and driver are facing the sun directing you back to it. If its a picture of the sun and hot day it works, if its supposed to be a shot of the driver or car then what j says is correct. Sun should be in a secondary position. Perhaps just poking out from behind a bill board so your attention can sit on car driver. Either way I like it. It has a nice feel.

Any advice is always welcome, like I said I take photos for fun every now and then. I don't really know much about stuff like composition, framing etc.

Btw Jay I'm pretty sure I saw your ride past my site just now…on your back wheel lol

That's cool, I just like to see how other people think.

Matt your light painting shots are so awesome. Headlights and tail lights are what can make a car look so much nicer for me and you have made them pop nicely, so juicy. I would love a couple of those shots eventually.

Phones can take some pretty neat photos now.

If only there wasn't a tonne of noise on the left hand side of that afternoon shot.

Noise annoys me to hell now.. especially since I am using a 1000D... Looking to get my hands on a 7D very shortly because of it hehe

probably, i was sitting in the young street car park watching the trucks getting loaded (lol) for a while.

monos on fixies are scary, haha. no back brake to help bring the front down if it gets a bit hairy, you just gotta stay committed.

Have you got any photos from when you used the 7D man? Would love to see them...

I will see if I can dig some up for you. But just remember im alwys shooting in low lit areas so the whole night im between iso1600-2500.

I could notice big difference between noise on the 7d and the 5dm2. Hense why I sold the 7d (backup camera), and bought another 5d2.

Another reason was that I didnt like the feel of the 7d in my hands (felt weird). Also I wanted two full frame cameras as it makes it easier to manage and quickly change settings etc.

Dont get me wrong the 7d is an excellent camera and I love its focus system (something the 5d2 lacks).

I found this a great review for the 7D and 5D and i think im sold on the 7D for price and useful features for learning.

Little silly comparing a full frame camera against a crop one. Also one that came out more than 2 years ago.

But yes for starting out and owning some efs lenses already, then the 7d will be the way to go.

Also I have had my 5d2 soaked in the rain from a modelshoot and it was totally fine. Was out in the rain for more than an hour.

But worth it :)

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
