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 :)

    • 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.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
