As above, ignore the megapixel differences. The SLRs have a much bigger sensor in size, so the image quality is much better even at lower MP. And as a result they are much better at higher ISO. I think second hand SLR is your best bet :)

If you want to take some good panning shots (where the car looks like it's moving) then you really have to get an SLR. I haven't used a camera like that Fuji for a very long time, but it was hopeless at taking moving action shots, they are just too slow. Also, if you really want to become a...

Cheapest bet is a good second hand set. You don't wanna know the price of new ones!

Very nice shots! What camera gear do you use?

D3, 60mm f2.8 macro lens. 250th shutter speed, aperture ranged from f18 to f22. SB800 triggered from behind to illuminate the smoke :)

As above, depends on what lighting you have. What kit are you using too?

With a lighter :) I could have used another match, but a lighter is a lot easier. You just have to make sure the lighter flame is out of shot, and then you need good reactions! ;)

The first shot looks cool. What ISO were you using too? They look a tad noisy

I've seen these sort of shots a lot, but I thought I'd give it a go tonight. It took quite a bit of patience to get these shots, and Im still not 100% happy with them! I'll probably have another play tomorrow night and try to improve :)

^ lol! You don't put that much pressure on me ;) We don't even know where we're going!

I got HCs and 1144s, awesome brakes even for track, so for the road they will be more than good!

I use a Nikon 12-24mm at the moment. That uses a 77mm filter, which ive just googled is the same as the Sigma. I've got a NDx8 and a circ-pol. I got them both from ebay japan, and I honestly cant remember what I paid, but I know it was significantly cheaper than the RRP in the UK! Just make...

Use a really long exposure, ie 10 seconds +. Get a torch and just write :) Make sure to turn the torch off between letters though.

Great shots, welcome to the SLR world! Just keep using it and take it everywhere you can! :)

^ The grad ND filters work well for that sort of shot, as you can see in Ian's shot. That's one example where you probably wouldnt need a physical filter.

For ND filters, no. Because you are physically stopping light from entering the camera, that you can't replicate in PS. You can get graduated ND filters in PS, which I use occasionally, and they do work pretty well. There are filters which try to replicate polarising filters, but I havent...

You probably wouldnt want to use a ND filter when it's dark though, as you could probably get the lower shutter speeds anyway. But every situation is different. As said above, the cameras meter will detect the change and automatically adjust settings for you :)

As long as the lens can accept screw-in filters your sorted :)

Its on Eibach sportlines, which only lowers a tad. Ideally it needs coilovers, but Im in no hurry to get any yet.

Only this crappy phone pic :( Oh...and they are 15" too. Cheaper track tyres ftw :)

A while ago I wrote this basic tutorial on camera filters for another forum which Im not so active on now, I thought I'd post it up here as it may help someone! :cool: This tutorial will cover two main types of filters: Circular Polarizers and Neutral Density (ND). Before I begin, I will start...

I love macro photography! So much you can do! Nice shot luke, which lens is it exactly?

I've got 1.2s as my track wheels. Awesome wheel and look the part too. Go for them if you don't want to be a sheep! ;)

As above, don't bother upgrading the rears too much, it won't make that much difference.

Greenstuffs get quite a bad rep on here, you'd be much better off with the Ferodos, or alternatively Mintex 1144s

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction ^ I bet feels like a big improvement over the original! And it looked knackered too!
