Well I wouldn't say I'm pro, I'd just say I've been shooting longer than most of you, but thanks all the same :)

Ok, photo is 6.5/10

I like:

you've thought about the shot.

framing is ok.

colours are nice

concept is sound.

i like placement of pole and skyline in foreground

i dont like:

youve tried to hard to either pull in colours of adjust exposure. see the halo around the wing?

could have framed better. get rid of half numberplate hole (distraction)

colour of car is to far off real colour

car could be brigter so it commands more attention.

thats my critique.

Well, 'more experienced' I should of said :P

Thank you for that! I rarely try and attempt under-exposed shots like these, but your 'don't likes' make a lot of sense :)

Thanks redline :)

Serk, take what i've said with a grain of salt. If you like something that I've said didn't work for me, keep doing it and keep refining it. at the end of the day it's about what makes you happy when you look at your finished work.

like this shot. this makes me happy. first shot of my car in ages. been avoiding shooting it since the lip got ripped off, but i reckon it looks pretty tough in this shot anyway :)

Ohh I understand that, it's just those little things that I could of fixed in post-processing that I didn't actually notice, but others did :)

EDIT: That is indeed a tough shot! Love it :P

Nice nice.

here's a recent beauty image. from russia with love

do u just find ur models and MUA's on mayhem or look elsewhere? I like this process better than the chick in the fezza but i reckon you've got to sharp here. to much constrast especially around her mouth. If you softened this shot up about 15-20% around those areas it'd be perfect! everything else is top shelf! your picking it up so quick man!

Terry's car is a photo whore.

& it gets my approval.

I'm amazed Ian, that Matt can highlight dark wheels against the white.

Normally as most would know, black wheels look flat due to ..........

some from MM, a lot of models approach my business asking to work with me now.

The ferrari shot - we were aiming for that look. Different situations require different styles.

Beauty images like this we aim to get sharp. The goal for us in this image was to show off the MUA's make up skill with the eyes and the lips. I used a 105 macro lens at f16 so I'd be sure I would get the details needed.

If you want a good example of how different situations require a different result in the finished details head to:

Then go through the different categories.

As with all art - it is subjective.

Perhaps I need to give a brief before each posting. No one size fits all in fashion and beauty ;)

Cheers :)

Love that beauty shot. IMO, i think it's spot on. Most beauty image closeups i've seen are as you said to show off the makeup more than anything.

Loving the N1 shots. Didn't even know Terry got an N1.

I took a bunch of photo's yesterday at the Bathurst 12 Hour, these are probably my favourites of the bunch. Interested to see what you guys who know what you are doing think of them, as I have done very little photography before, and this is my first attempt at motorsport photo's. Pics were resized in photoshop, but are otherwise unedited.

love this.

the positioning of the car, and the fact you can see brake caliper....

That last shot is great Brian, nice spot to shoot from :)

Dan, I'm not saying that either shot is bad, your people stuff is better than mine, I'm just offering my 2c for feedback. all good sir. I basically just think how would I have done this. Doesn't mean 'this is how you should have done this', just a different perspective that might stumble across something that didn't occur to you.

This was at the Motor magazine Twilight Track Night last Wednesday. I forgot to bring my 70-200mm lens, so I shot this from over the pits using my 17-55mm.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
