    Hoping to get this in the coming weeks, I have forever been after a 24mm Nikkor f1.4 but now Sigma have released this I simply can't ignore it. My 35mm f1.4 A sigma has been amazing and if this is anything like that is, its going to be amazing...

    Not a bad effort Ste, maybe give the car a bit more space so a wider shot and a lower angle.

    Track pads

    They make them for clio, infact the ones I use will fit a clio caliper as the 306 gti-6 brakes are the same pad as 172/182. I have done trackdays, sptints, the ring, hill climbs and not had any fade from them. They do like to squeal though, so might not be great if used on the road.

    Track pads

    I have been using Mintex 1155's in the 106 and they are superb. Very similar to the Ds3000's with a bit more bite.

    S1 Rallye - Rally Car Build

    Thanks for the reply, good to know the engine was looked after. The shell needs some love after looking more closely at it, so going to put it on its side this weekend and cut some of the rust out, clean up boot floor and weld in anything it needs. I will also be seam welding the boot floor and...

    S1 Rallye - Rally Car Build

    Awesome, thanks for the video! What suspension did it have on it when you had it, it is currently sitting on GAZ coilovers? I have also got the 16v engine you fitted in it, do you know the specs of the engine?

    Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

    I am not sure you would for national events, aslong as the CC is the same worst case you end up in a different class. Glad to see you considered it though, looking forward to seeing the cage all painted, you decided on a colour for the cage?

    Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

    :openmouth:.... Get it in the forest or atleast on some tarmac events lol! Get it built to meet regs (Not hard) MSA logbook.. BARS test, overalls, helmet, gloves. Then get it dirty in the forest were it belongs, or if you don't want to drive, I would happily and maybe let you co-drive! :tongueout:

    Autopano giga 3.0 is superb, I use it for pano portraits. AKA The Brenizer Method. I would agree photoshop is rubbish for pano.

    I am using it, its much quicker however the pano isn't to great compared to autopano.

    S1 Rallye - Rally Car Build

    So it turns out the Rallye I have bought, has quite a history. I think it was owned by a member on here and was a car built by skip brown many years ago. I managed to dig up the old project threads on Rallye register from 2008. Part of me wants to put it back to standard, but I really can't see...

    S1 Rallye - Rally Car Build

    So after futher inspection it turns out I have twisted the back end of the car, after removing the seam sealer I found a lot of rust and a thumb sized hole between the arch and boot floor. The cage did its job and held the car in one peice, but because the cage is attached at the back to the...

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    One from yesterdays wedding, I only had around 6 minutes to get this shot setup and captured as they where about to do first dance and cake cutting. I spotted the arch in the afternoon doing formal shots and thought I would give it a go. Shot with one SB-900 behind the couple, triggered with...

    The other things I forgot to mention is the use of the adjustment brush to bring out colours, here is the same photo again, but all I have done is just bring out the colours, exposure using the adjustment brush. Again hope you don't mind me editing again.. Feel free to drop me a message to...

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Shooting in RAW will transform how process your photos, mind me asking what camera you are shooting with ? I am no expert at light painting but when you use it try and follow the curves of the car. Lightroom is so powerful don't be afraid to push the sliders up, also you can lower or increase...

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    @jaswalker24 nice capture, what program are you editing in? are you shooting in RAW? If so with the photo above, adjust the white balance to balance out the blues and oranges, bring up the shadows so its so dark and drop the contrast a little and up the exposure.

    S1 Rallye - Rally Car Build

    Well bit of an update, I still own the car. Not much has changed with it, I bought a house the later part of last year so things went on hold for a while. I dug the car out of the workshop, back in Feb to check it over and get it ready for this year. I decided to put the car on the rolling...

    Go for the Nikon, I might be biased but you can't go wrong for the price of the 3200.
