  1. Night time wouldn't be a good idea around those areas. Plenty of Roos and Wombats around to mess your car up.
  2. What size fuse was it? That sort of thing is kind of what a fuse is suppose to stop.
  3. Yes. You'll need to remove the front section of the exhaust.
  4. You should rotate them Gaz. They'll last longer. My stock Dunlops lasted 45,000km.
  5. Fixed.
  6. What noise do Panda's make anyway? It's "baaaaaaaaahhhhh" isn't it?
  7. Not really. There's a few people with cameras, but none of us have much of an idea. Photography forums is where you'll get the honest feedback from people who know a bit about what they're talking about.
  8. I'm not very good at PS. I'm sure there's someone else that could get it to look better than I can.
  9. I can't make them pure white because the car doesn't look pure white in the photo. It would look completely wrong.
  10. Didn't I already do that? The car's white and I tried to match the fog light surround to the colour of the bumper.
  11. There's a multimedia forum full of photos. There's no point having a forum just for photography discussion here. There's not enough interest in it. You could always join a photography forum.
  12. See... Even Fluffy thinks it's interesting. We could talk about tuners, but we all know how quickly you guys get upset. Anyway, I'll let you guys get back to whatever it is you do in here.
  13. That won't work so well. Once the highlights are blown they're blown. There's no information that can be brought back with any amount of post production. It's not hard to use one. Getting a decent result is a little harder though.
  14. Had a quick go at it for you...
  15. It's just a style mate. Just like taking photos during the day is a style. Cars can certainly be photographed during the day. I'm not sure if they look fake though. I can only speak for myself, but what I captured in camera is what the final result looks like. There's nothing fake added. The above shot is in a good location. The sky is blown out, but that's because the camera is trying to expose the car. There's a couple of ways you could improve this... - Shoot 2 shots and blend them. One that correctly exposes the sky and the other that correctly exposes the car. Then you might be accused of being fake though. - Use a GND filter to darken the sky down a stop or two allowing the car to be exposed properly without the sky blowing out. - Expose for the sky (or even under expose it a little) and use flash to highlight the car. That's just my opinon and input anyway. I'm certainly no expert and everyone will have their own way of doing things.
  16. No worries. I only know of one other guy from Adelaide. He goes by Ignition Images and his work is very good. You've got a bit to go before you get up to his level IMHO. I don't do a lot of post processing on mine. No PhotoShop at all. Probably spend an average of 1-2 minutes per shot. You don't want to get into the trap of thinking you can fix the problems in post.
  17. You might be cheaper than the competition, but if the competition is better then they're better value despite their higher price. If you want to really compete then improve the quality. Not substitute the quality with a lower price. Another point to think about is that if you charge $25 now it's going to be very hard to increase that. People tell other people how much they pay for things. Why would someone give you $80 today for something someone got yesterday for $25? When I started I did it for free until I had my style and an end product at a level I'd be happy to buy from someone else. That's how I gauge my work. I don't give anyone a shot that I wouldn't be happy with myself. I'll reshoot to get things just the way I want it. If I think it can be improved then I'll try and improve it.
  18. There's rules and guidelines for that also... Attention Photographers. Yes. Even Commodore's can look good...
  19. Did he say FPP instead of FPV at 1:14?
  20. I think that's a good idea. It's hard to enjoy a car that is breaking parts all the time stopping you from enjoying it.
  21. It does do everything so well and easily. That's what I find amazing about it.
  22. Just buy the Super Sport version. It's 883kw and looks better inside and out too.
  23. LOL! Bugatti wouldn't have even wiped their arse with the thought of the 1/4 mile when they built that car. The Veyron is all about doing big top speed and doing it well. A modded GTR will never do what the Veyron can. Don't get me wrong. The GTR is an awesome car, but it's not in the same league and never will be.
  24. Veyron sounded like it got away a little slow.
