Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll have more luck than me buying a MacBook pro! Took 4 attempts to get a good one!

Pretty much yes. You wouldn't normally expose the frame 'correctly', you would underexpose it, so the flashes light the car more effectively. If you took the same photo without the flashes going off it would look well underexposed. How low you go is up to you really. My photos look a bit...

Yeh I know. I had those on the Clio, and a set of 888s for track. I'll only take the VX on track occasionally, so not sure if the 'track orientated' tyres are worth it.

I'm torn between these and AD08s for my VX220. Both seem to be as good as each other really. Or do I not bother and just get T1Rs lol!! Decisions!!!

Have any of you lot got instapad? Found loads of links online to it on iTunes but none work. Can't find it on there either.

I saw that on your IG account and thought 'what the hell!?' lol

I din't do anything with the lighting in post. The flat look is due to the circ pol filter. I didn't do a great job of positioning the lights, as I was a bit rushed. For example, the rear shot - the rear isn't lit evenly, and there's that hotspot buy the rear wheel arch.

You can't do a proper shoot without them. Although you can some nice shots with natural light too. Not cheap for a decent set of portable lights though.

I was amazed I managed to get all my gear (including my rig) in the VX! Performance and practicality lol

Thanks, it was a bugger to light evenly! If I had more time I would have done multiple exposures, and moved the flash around the car too. Next time....... And yes, it does look (and sound) evil!

Well I've finally wiped the dust off my camera and got out there! Just a very quick shoot with a mate, of his pride and joy. We happened to stumble on this location, bit generic, but it was the best we could do just scouting about. Only had just over an hour too, so a bit rushed...

I was reading all about this at work today. Hope it sticks to the awesome high ISO performance philosophy. I think my D3 will fit the bill for now though ;)

I started the idea of a meet in S Wales yeh, but it was a nightmare to get a date that everyone could do. Might try one again soon, I'd like to visit the coast there again soon.

Good luck to those who started. I didn't manage a 52 last year. :(

Nice pics Rob! Clean the windscreen before you do it again though ;)

FFS there's always something from the f**king foo fighters! Why?!?!?!

Pretty much exactly the same as on this site: http://www.automotiverigs.com/product1.html

lol Scutch! Awesome!

As above. Used them a few times, no complaints.

I bought some aluminium tubing from a metal works place (we deal with them through work), my dad's friend welded the ends up, so they can slide into each other. Camera attaches to the tubing using a manfrotto 035 super clamp with a tripod head fixed to it. The metal work guy at work helped me...

Dream on if you think you'll ever use a rig like that! That's top of the line stuff, probably cost more than that R8 tbh! I don't have any guide at all, I just made it up as I went along really!

Do you want live mapping or a generic map you can do yourself?

Fabia I think

Does it matter that I bought it from Currys and I'm taking it back to Apple? I'd rather do that as Currys won't give a monkeys tbh!

Well they replaced my iPhone after a few weeks of getting it as the screen on that messed up too, through no fault of mine btw. So I hope they don't take that into consideration.

So my Mum's iPad has just developed a black screen. It still works, you can unlock it if you swipe in the right area, but the screen is constantly black. She says she has no idea how it happened, which I'm a little suspect of. I bought it from Currys December 2010, so if they have a years...

They were about $800 last time I looked, THEN you have to get it shipped over here too.

I've had TNT and UPS from them.

Had a quick look yesterday. I got put off when I went to their website and saw 'Buy Pro'. Is everything free? Both iphone and mac software?

I'm probably the worst for this. Even at New Years Eve (whilst slightly tipsy) I offered a mate a photoshoot of their 15 month child in our studio at work....for free! I still think it's because I'm not confident in myself enough to charge people for my photos. Either that or I'm just such a...
