OK, as I mentioned I wasn't that impressed with the Vivid Festival this year, but on the way into the city I used the opportunity to make sure my new GoPro was working - I bought one last year and it died completely (wouldn't turn on at all), so it was replaced under warranty.

It's my first attempt at a time-lapse, and more an experimentation than anything else. It could have been much better, but it could have been much worse too. Apparently the HD Hero2 deals with low light a lot better than the original. I might buy one later on to supplement this one...

Anyway...

Dan - Lovely portrait there!!! Keen to see more. Just watch the light bleeding from the flash you used to light up the background.

I think I'll try putting up some foam core temp walls to stop the leaking light. Waiting on two more elinchrom units to use so it will help.

Had a go at the car lights thing for the 1st, didnt have the right equipment but thought id still have a crack anyway

Yeah, that's not bad at all. The beauty of taking these shots is that you don't really need any special equipment at all, beyond a camera that can take long exposures, and a tripod or something else that's steady to keep the camera from moving during the shot.

5-8 sec, wasn't too much traffic lol

Cheers

Could you have gone higher? 25 seconds or so?

The photo I did of my car on the last page was 25 Seconds I think, I changed halfway through and changed back

Nice shots. It's hard to take photos of boring things and make them look good when mucking around, good stuff....

Vivid.....

The light shooting into the sky off the Opera house looks awesome :)

i recommend looking into white balance too, bit orange ;)

give tungsten white balance a go, or if you can set the K value manually try between 2000 and 3000

took this shot using RAW + JPG and was too lazy to process the RAW versions :P

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
