might as well put some up to date pics in here

yes mate, good old cutbush lol im always a bit nervous about taking lots of kit up there as its not a very nice area. as i found out when i went to do some car rig shots up there and my car decided to lock me out. had to put up with a stoned lorry driver and a drunk tramp for 45 mins whilst...

Nice first attempt, heres some of mine

yep that right mate, not my pics im affraid :( aperture also effects depth of field, the larger the F number ie F22 (small aperture) the larger the depth of field

i would shoot with a small aperture (from f11 - f32) to reduce flare and create nice star burst effects on the streetlights. the smaller the aperture the greater the effect. example pics off the net f14 f22

if he has crap paint all over the car, why not just mask up the whole car and repaint all of it then you wont have to worry about blending it. matt black is fairly forgiving

do you mean something like this (courtessy of flickr) if so then you have to use a tripod as you wont be taking a long exposure shot (but could still help reduce camera shake if using a large zoom, depends how steady your hands are). i would shoot on aperture priority, set the aperture on its...

have a look at my how to guide mate, it might be of some use. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=328967 If he has cut the brackets off you could easily make some by buying some metal right angle brackets from a diy shop and fibre glassing them onto the bumper (use the fibreglass...

not sure exactly which neighbour it belongs too, its not my next door neighbour but someone on our estate. apparently there are some pro footy players who live there, not sure which ones they are, but i alway see them rolling in blacked out escalades or cayennes with 22's

:lolup: yep both the yellow one and the black one are the LP 560-4, the white one is the original one

it probably cost him £2000 in depreciation just driving it down the street, let alone the £30,000 he would have lost for just driving it off the forecourt lol

yep :) done in PS though was just trying it out as a technique

One of my neighbours was showing off his new car today, im properly jealous.

no because it was base upon my car and i dont have turini's

lol i did it, well i stuck the clio parts over the original transformer

this is what you do when have justed watch the transformers movie on dvd and then are bored half an hour later lol. very quick chop, pretty untidy round the edges but couldnt really be arsed to spend ages on it as it was just for fun. but thought i would stick it up here anways

there are some other tecniques you could try which will give the same effect standard panning shot from distance: Panning close up (the car was being driven round me in a circle at slow speed): Rig shot:

heres mine

there are loads of different ways of making them depending upon budget and method of attaching them. some people use suction mounts others use under car magnets. best bet it to dig your way through this thread as there is loads of useful info into what works and what doesnt...

this site is usefull, i forgot about it earlier, it lists the best price at the moment and shows the rrp change over the years. http://www.camerapricebuster.com/Sigma_10-20mm_f4-5.6_EX_DC_HSM_pc.html it shows this shop in the UK (i checked the contact details on the site and its based in...

yeah £50 isnt that much of a difference especially as there is always the chance of having to pay import tax. i only ordered mine from the states as i saved £200 so that made it worth it

it depends on the ebay advert mate, the lens i bought came with a 7 year international warrenty so i can just send it to canon UK if it goes wrong and i saved about £200 on the rrp. that was about 2 years ago though

i have bought a lens from ebay in the USA and a studio lighting kit from china. both were pretty good, i didnt have to pay any import tax, one of the studio lights did develop a fault which meant i had to pay £40 to post it back to them in order for them to replace it. Other than that it has...

nope the main body of the duck doesnt move that much so take a standard shot with a slowish shutter say 1/30, you will probably need a tripod especially if using a long zoom as camera shake is magnified. obviously it depends on how the duck is moving

likewise when i get some spare time after my dissertation and course work is in i need to take up my next door neighbours offer as he works for aston martin so often brings home various cars (db9, dbs, v8 vantage etc) and offered to take me out in some of them

agreed mate its all about opportunities, and if you look two identical pic using the same techniques such as two rig shots, in the same location, same filters, same post production work etc but one good car and one bad one the 'best' shot will always seem to be that of the nice car. one of the...

i should add this to the list too, Maurice Lim Wan Xiong (aka couleur off potn) http://couleur.deviantart.com/gallery/

saw this guy in my photography monthly magazine http://www.benhallphotography.com/ might be of some use f8 @ 500mm 1/15 or 1/30

+1 i find it much easier to get good pans if i concerntrate on just following the wing mirror or door number etc and keeping that in the right place during the capture than just trying to frame the car as a whole. having said that ive seen far worse pans than these mate, these arent bad, just a...
