Right, for a while now I have loved the look of my main website, nice and simple was my philosophy and I think it works well. However, any web designer will know how shockingly bad it is designed/created! I should know as I did it! So I have had a go at remaking it, trying to stick to my...

Hey chaps, I've been through most of the best photos from yesterday. As I said before, I was there for one main reason, with the guys at burpspeed. So my attention was mainly focused on their car. I did take a few snaps of other cars too, but I can't guarantee I shot every car. If I didn't...

I've just moved to a new web host, which includes SQL databases. So I'm learning to use wordpress - a much better alternative to Blogger. I've had a go at a new blog, which is 80% done and online, but not 'live' yet. http://www.danfreemanphotography.com/blog/ Any feedback? I'll...

Curtis did a magnificent job setting up my ASTs, but coming from their first track outing the other week, the front seriously tyres seriously rub on the arch liners, and I mean the metal bracket behind the liners. Curtis said the best thing to do is cut the bracket out, as he would rather not...

As I really want to take my landscape photography up a notch, I invested in some new filters, but not the usual kind ;) These a rectangular drop in filters, not the usual circular screw in filters. They look like this just so you get an idea :) (Pic shamelessly stolen of the net :evil:) The...

As per title, go check it out for 30 days, then wish you had enough to buy it!

Another very short trip to Hong Kong, so a brief opportunity for some snaps. The evening I landed in HK I went to the Kowloon side to watch the Symphony of Lights, pretty fantastic stuff! Shame I didnt have a tripod :( On the day I left (two days later!) I had the afternoon free so I visited...

Another trip - this time to Hong Kong. I've always wanted to go here, I hear it's an amazing place, and I certainly wasn't disappointed!! It was a very short trip, I landed in HK at 5pm on Sunday, and I was on the plane again at midnight on Tuesday! But Im going back in a few weeks :cool: As...

I thought I'd start a project thread, I never thought I would but the car is sort of turning into a project :) First off, bought the 182 back in October 08 for £5950 This is the advert pic :) Very pleased with it, only problems were the consumables, so it needed two new front tyres and...

Not long been back from a two week business trip to the DR. It was a knackering trip, luckily I got a weekend break in Punta Cana, a VERY popular holiday destination. As always I had my camera with me, most of the photos are from the weekend, unfortunately business comes first :( And as most...

I think I want to take my stripping to the next level, and I want to get as much out from the interior as possible, but I'm leaving the dash alone for the minute, unless anyone can offer easy and practical advice for tackling that! Can anyone offer advice for stripping the doors? I know they...

Right I'm thinking of getting rid of my 182 cup wheels, to replace them with some 15" track alloys/wheels. Firstly, I have no idea what they are worth! Here's a couple of pics of them: They were professionally refurbed shortly after I got the car, as they were pretty badly curbed on...

I've not long been back from a business trip to the UAE. Good timing really, as I was getting sick of the chaos this snow is causing - so it's a bit warmer over there! ;) I was there for 4 days, the first few I couldnt really go out much due to work, but I managed to get a few snaps around Abu...

Ok, so I get my job review at the start of Jan, and I should be in line for a hefty pay rise, so I'm thinking of spending a few bob on the 182. I've done a bit to it already, but the one thing I'd like to change is to give the old girl a bit more grunt. Out of all the current methods, I think...

Second capital in two weeks :) I decided as I have the week off to go on a day trip to London, mainly because I haven't done it since I was a kid! Pretty good (half) day out, the weather turned crap at one point but I think that really made the pics a bit better as the wet pavement really...

I had a quick business trip to Paris yesterday, luckily for me I was finished at lunchtime and my return flight was at 9pm. As I had my camera with me I spent the day wondering Paris :) Most of them are snapshot style photos, I still need to build up a bit more confidence...

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 :)

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...

As I'm exceptionally bored today I was working through some old photos, and then I decided so whip up some wallpapers. I have had a few request for them so hopefully I didn't completely waste my time! ;) Standard - 1280x1024 Wide-screen - 1280x800 Standard - 1280x1024...

Well I was hoping to go out today and play with the new D3, but the weather is really crap, not raining...just really overcast with horrible flat lighting :( So I did a few macro shots, and then did a few tests on the ISO performance - which is astonishing!! And this is what you see if...

This evening I met up with Mark (M4rkie23) to shoot his 172 again, as he's made a few changes, and I wanted to get some more rig shots in some newly discovered locations. But mainly it was to play with my new toy, a Nikon D3 camera :) :cool: HOWEVER, due to a c**k up with the delivery people...

Met up with Rocky99 on the forum for a local photoshoot. We went scouting for places to go yesterday, we tried the Gloucester Business Park, it looked awesome, very good potential for shots, but we were told by security that no photos were allowed :( We did have a few places to go, so we met up...

Met up with a guy with a mint R32 today for a shoot, really looked forward to this :) So we arranged a shoot around Bristol, HOWEVER, the weather was bloody awful! The one good place was a place under a road (so it was dry!), everytime we tried to go anywhere else it pissed it down! In the end...

Hey guys, Did a shoot on a MINT evo 5 yesterday. The hardest part was finding good locations to do the shoot, hopefully I did ok with what I had :) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. I am still learning, so I open to comments and criticism (as long as it's...

I will be having a few shoots coming up soon, and I am rapidly running out of locations to shoot at! If anyone can think of any interesting locations, that would be awesome! Pic would be great too if possible ;) And please...no car parks! I think I've exhausted shoots at car parks now! If...

As I've just set up my home 'studio', I'd thought I'd share some shots, especially how I set them up. Im starting pretty basic to start with, but I have quite a few ideas in mind :) First one: Final Shot: Set-up: Straight out of the camera: I welcome criticism, and any ideas too!

Amazing video, I'll let it do the talking :) http://juststuffifind.com/2009/08/10/macworld-cover-in-the-making/

Dan's (Quade) friend contacted me asking for a shoot on his pride and joy....an m3 :cool: E46 M3s are one of my personal favourite cars, and this car was a mint example. Unfortunately it is a very dark black/blue colour, and any automotive photographers will know....black cars are a nightmare...

Ive got my MOT next week, and Im a bit worried that my harnesses wont pass. I've heard it's very hit and miss regarding MOT testers passing harnesses, but one question I have is regarding the seatbelts. I havent taken out the original seatbelts, the clips have gone but the belts are still...
