    A new daily

    I can't believe I haven't used this Forum in so long, it almost feels criminal. I'm debating a change of daily driver in the next month or so, for no other reason than me wanting to give something else a go, so to speak. I've currently got the below and have done since October-ish. It's...

    Joe's Black Sapphire M135i

    Christ alive it's been far too long since I've used this forum. Long time no...post? Prior to this I had purchased a Megane 225 as a stop gap car for a year, well it was s**t. I just really didn't get on with the car at all. It lacked the special feeling I expected, it really wasn't quick at...

    Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

    Evening guys. So some of you might have seen that I'm splitting my track car for parts, as with one hobby growing, another must be sacrificed. I'm looking into purchasing the above lens when some of the larger items sell. Up until recently I was specifically looking at the Canon/Sigma 10-20mm...

    Last drive of the year

    As the bad weather is creeping by, I feel as though it's the right time to put the VTS away for Winter (and upgrades over Winter). So, with that in mind, me and @josh11490 headed out for one final run in our cars. We started out heading for Brecon, stopping for some pictures along the way and...

    Budget starter kit

    Good Evening to those that aren't out chasing the 'Super Moon'. I would be, but there's a ridiculous amount of clouding/fog for around 15 miles, sucks. Anyway, the post... A good friend of mine is looking to purchase a beginners kit for his Fiance for Christmas, and has a budget of around...

    Llandow track day

    Headed down earlier on for an hour as I live about 20 minutes away. Seemed like a decent turn out despite the poor weather this morning. Some pictures I managed to grab in the short time there.

    Castle Combe Trackday, hosted by RSUK

    I had the pleasure of attending RSUK's event at Castle Combe on Friday, and it was a brilliant day. The weather was abysmal in the morning, unfortunately I wasn't there to capture those moments as I may or may not have given @josh11490 the wrong directions on the way... I've not tried shooting...

    Track Photography

    So, some of you may have seen that I'm eager to test out my new lens with some track action. I'm after some tips and pointers basically, as this is something I've not done before. While I'm very eager to just jump out and figure it out for myself, I may miss some important factors. I'll be...

    My new lens!

    So I recently sold the itb's for my VTS, and decided to purchase a new lens. The Tamron 70-300F4-5.6. First impressions, well there isn't really any due to getting home from work, and getting about 10 minutes each evening to test it out properly. But I've managed to check out the 70-300 range...

    Travelling

    First and foremost, I'm posting in this section because General chat is full of button bashers, and people causing arguments over what flavour squash is nicer (it's lemon btw). This section may also have some members that have visited such destinations, and have some pictures. Me and my...

    Tamron 70-300 F/4-5.6

    Hi lads. I've been looking to get a new lens for a while now, with a good focal length and on a reasonable budget. I've just come across this lens on Amazon for £101 in Canon fitment, and I have to say it seems strikingly good value for money. I know it won't be anywhere near the level of the...

    106 Rallye

    So, as promised here are a few pictures of my mates 106 Rallye, Turbo. Apologies in advance for the lack of 'different' images, and few angles (also no interior shots). The first batch of pictures came out nice, the last photo's were completely washed out by the suns glare, and were all way too...

    106 Rallye Turbo

    I'll have a full thread about this car in the next few weeks, but for now, here's a little teaser. Excuse the abysmal quality, messenger video recorder as my phone decided it had no space!

    Lenses for Vehicle Interior's

    Hi guys. As the title says, I'm looking for a lens that'll allow me to take a good variety of interior shots of Vehicles, I'm guessing a nice wide angled lens. Not hugely clued up on that particular type of lens, so I'm not too sure what to look for. I've tried to use my 18-55mm Kit lens, but...

    The Big Welsh Car Show at Margam Park

    So I attended this show last weekend, and it was filled with a great variety of fantastic cars. Classic Mini's, OEM Cosworth's, R33 GTR, and an incredible Mk2 Escort with the Heart of an S2K, on carbon Jenveys!. Here are a couple of my better photo's as the lighting was awkward on the day...

    Incredibly Clean Mini

    I attended The Big Welsh Car Show today in Margam park. There were some incredible cars there, but this one really caught my eye. The owner has had it in his possession for 13 years, and it never gets trailer'ed to shows, it's driven. In fact last week the owner and his son traveled 500 or so...

    Photography Services

    I thought I would poke my nose in here again, I also haven't been as active as previous times. Basically I'm trying to push myself to get out there Photography wise and make something of myself. I've done a couple of private car 'shoot's, and the feedback has been really positive from them...

    1.8T Swapped MK2 Golf

    So, here is the second feature of the little shoot I organised yesterday. Again I have quite a few bones to pick with some of the photo's, and I'm not majorly impressed at how the rolling shots came out. All of the images were shot with my Canon 750-D with the 'nifty fifty' F1.8, and standard...

    Rocket Bunny S13

    I'm fairly pleased with how these shots came out, especially considering this was my first ever attempt at 'Rolling shots'. As with each upload, I have criticism and realise I have so much room for improvements, but it's all a learning curve. All of the pictures were taken on my Canon 750-D...

    Creating Ultra High Dynamic Range (YouTube tut)

    Something I'm definitely going to try, when I get around the whole Lightroom not opening my RAW files :(

    106/Saxo Shenanigans

    Few of us lads local to South Wales organised a little get together today for a Brecon/Black Mountain run. Started off at Ystradfellte falls near Swansea, then blasted through the valleys and headed for the Black Mountain roads. Great turn out for a local meet, and the weather held off even...

    RAW files in Lightroom 5.7.1

    Basically I can't open my Raw files in Lightroom. I've looked at countless 'Tutorials', and links and I just can't find anything that works. I've found a sort updater, but it mentions that it's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. If someone can point me in the right direction, or actually give me a...

    My MK1 Saxo VTS

    Due to a change in personal circumstances, car #2 is regrettably up for sale. I know I'll kick myself when it goes, but since changing jobs, I've taken a £400 a month cut, and it's really hit me hard. https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/mk1-saxo-vts/1162920193

    2500k idle

    Just changed the HT leads over, charged up the battery and dropped it back in. Car now turns over, but it's idling at about 2.5k? All I've done is swap over HT leads, nothing else.

    Spark plug Helicoil/Time sert

    Right, after yesterdays mishap with a random misfire and Clio based suicide, I've diagnosed the problem. The spark plug in cylinder 2 has popped out of the head, I just barely pulled and it came right out. The plug itself is fine, as is the thread (along with the other 3, all lovely) but when...

    Lighting

    What are people doing in regards to poor lighting for shots? I'd love to get a few night shots done, but obviously I'd need some sort of contraption to give off enough light. Even in overcast conditions sometimes my photo's come out as if they've been taken on an iPhone, the noise is horrendous.

    Sgwd Henrhyd (National trust park)

    So I popped out to visit this place near Brecon in Wales, turned out to have some fantastic scenery, most of which I just couldn't capture. For any of you that so happen to be near(ish), I urge you to check it out. As usual, I struggled with a couple of shots and I'm still getting to grips...
