Where are the pics people! Damn it's been quiet in here. Although, so have I. Been busy.

Anyway, here's one you might of seen. Shot on the side of the road in the hunter whilst sipping on some wine. If you haven't been, highly recommend it!

EDIT: Posted this off my phone and clearly it's compressed pretty bad :( Damn. Oh well. You get the picture. CWUTIDIDTHAR?!

Its the HDR. Too much HDR and too much photochop has killed photography for anyone not wanting to spend endless hours fking about with multiple exposures of the same scene. It is just out of control.

Car we picked up last night for my mate :D
First time using PS. Open to criticism what i did right/wrong.

It's a good shot for a documentary shot. Doesn't look like you were trying anything here so can't really criticise or anything unless i know what you were trying.

Nice car though! Hope the apex seals last :D

mind explaining what's good/bad about the HDR phase?

Done well on landscape shots etc it allow the photo to be more like what you see with your eye as the final image has the high dynamic range that the name suggests. So the dark bits arent so dark and the light bits arent overexposed.

But you can select too much range and this ends up giving the photo a sort of artificial/chrome look to them. And you see that everywhere - in car mags, on websites. It is just overdone and everywhere and to be honest I am over it.

Eg

Not fantastic IMHO. I just wish the grown up photographers would use it less.

I've got a couple more shots from holiday. But I do have to admit to being a bit lazy. Even though I brought three cameras (FZ200, GH2 and Sony Action Cam) I pretty much did all my shooting with the point and shoot FZ200.

It has nearly fit my needs for a Full HD Video, extra long and decent wide zoom, and hi-frame rate slow mo video. Just the sensor is small and gets noisy as light drops.

That old pac shot is pretty rad.

HDR 99.% kills shots. Well, if you can tell it's HDR anyway. Best HDR are ones where you can't tell I reckon. There are exceptions to the rule though, like everything. Look up Trey Ratcliff. http://www.stuckincustoms.com/ He's hardcore HDR but he does it really well and tastefully!

nice work Dan!

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      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 .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      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?

      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.
