cheers man.

same shot here but with the owner (forum member too) in the shot too. Sidd, give your CC on the persons placement/lighting/blah blah... keen to hear what people think since adding people to the shot is relatively new to me. :)

Fongy, Looks like we were trying the same sort of thing.

Well its not a model shoot so having him there is perfectly fine. Its his car im assuming so exactly where he is just perfect.

Now take that next step and perhaps even ask him to dress up a bit. Corporate the two into one shot perhaps? But offcourse this all depends if he keen.

Maybe something like this which I did many years ago:

^ not saying that is perfect in anyway.. Just giving you an idea and perhaps something you can market?

Wish I had his hand in another position and fixed up his pants at the bottom. But this was such a long time ago. Cant believe I did those borders!!! What was I thinking lol..

Otherwise lighting is fine on the person :)

More like I need tips from you for shooting cars. A friend of mine asked me to take pics of his new car soon. So need all the tips possible to balance flash on cars :)

Something I have not done since the shot above. But looking forward to photographing a car again.

Great new website man. Looks much better as a blog mate - if you ever need a hand with web stuff, give me a buzz and I'll see what I can do.

I just left you a comment on the website as well, "Great photos sidd. Put a smile on the face looking at these!" - The truth needs to be said!

thanks sidd. I'm about to go check ur page out ;) Got any specific questions? I'll give u specific answers :P

Here's a couple from powercruise drifting. Amazingly powercruise isn't just bogandoors and fords. good mix of cars! I'll be doing a story on the drift on autocult later in the week.

That's a really strong shot Fongy. I LOVE IT! Very well executed.

I've been doing some other random stuff other than cars recently. it's good to refresh and recharge batteries.

Don't shoot into the sun they say...

I entered a photography comp at a local show over the weekend, one of my shots got third place and it was one of the weaker shots in my opinion. I asked the dude what they judge on, he went on about the rule of 3rds like it was the most important thing to a photo. I asked him to critique a few shots and he said I should never shoot into the sun. (which it one of my favorite things to do) So i got marked down for shooting into the sun AND maintaining a good exposure through the shot.

this one came third

Haha, well that goes to show photography has no right or wrongs. I am not a fan of rule of 3rds or avoiding the sun. Sun shots are great. I love centered photos. The photos I love, they would of thrown in the bin. That also means one of my favourite shots Sidd has ever done, (Above) gets thrown into the grinder - It uses sun and and is centered.

Were the judges old school?

Hey matt, just saw you ALSO have a new website... nice. This one looks much cooler hehe.

Just a note about your website, some of the background images are quite bright and I am unable to read the menu items. Change the top menu area to have less opacity and should be right. The comments section for users to type in, is white with white writing - really hard to see. The photos in the blog also exceed the width of the background - Do you know how to auto resize these?

Did you make this one yourself (looks like word press?) Otherwise looks good man. Nice work - If you need a hand or anything, you know who to ask :)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
