Constructive criticism for your brother as you said he is an apsiring tog.

The photos would've been better if they weren't taken on grass. Cars drive on ashphalt/concrete mostly thats where photos should be taken, its kinda like the rule of thirds. Photos of car on grass never quite look right unless the style of car suits it, I've tried it as well with N12's and it always fails. It was pointed out to me a while back and will have to agree shots on proper road type surfaces look 100 times better.

Also if the focus was on the car not so much the background specially in the sepia and B&W shots to make them sharper, B&W gives you great sharpness if the subject is in focus. If he is using a point and shoot see if he can select central focus point they will come out better next time. They kidna look like phone shots(only guessing by the blown out images in colour) so probably can't select focus points nor have any decent depth of field.

not bad though keep on practising, practice makes perfect.

thanks, i will pass it on to him..

with regards to the rule of thirds, we went to a lawn bolws club to try and get the theme goin, unfortunately there was no paved surface, was just a quick point and shoot spare of the moment thing.

he's enroled himself into a photography course tho......

[Panda_ET]

Always wanted to do a course at tafe or something but on paper most looked a bit shit down here lol

Yeh I know its hard to sometimes find a spot that suits your needs, asphalt def for car shots though grass kinda ruins the look..unless you had in on the greens hahaha.

[baz]

Yeah we do get louvres over here, There is an exa down here in Tasmania that has one

[15exa]

haha..... me likey.

i will see how it looks with the things i got planned first, i it looks like it needs more i will look into the louvers..

[15exa]

bit of an update while i'm at it.....

as yous know i picked up the vert on the weekend. i started transfering a few thing over from it....

i started off swapping the entire rear trailing arms and shocks, so i will now have et rear discs, so the 17's will clear on the vert with the grounded down arms. i think the discs will be more benificial on 15EXA any way.

rear strut brace was also swapped over

havent had a chance to see if the sway bar will fit over my exhaust or not yet, but if it does, that will go on too.

atm im in the process of swapping over all the brake lines, booster and master cylinder from an et too, so all the bias and what not, will be in order

once thats done and i get a bosh 040, im upgrading to a decent brand fpr too.

was looking at the standard fuel lines and rail too, what are your thoughts on thier abbilities to support 300ish hp safely???? might upgrade these at the same time.

[15exa]

ok its 2:30am and i've just finished changing booster and master cylinder, rear brake lines, front passenger side line, re-fit rear control arms, fit rear sway bar (it clears the zorst, yay), and front strut brace.

i could have been completely finished if it wasnt for a prick of a brake line joiner strippin on me. hopefully i can fix it with a thread file at work tomorrow.......

tell ya what tho, them rear brake lines are hard to do with the donk in, i had to drop the front control arm and sway bar, and zorst just to make it work, got there in the end tho. so hopefully i will be finished tomorrow nite.

will put some pix up l8er
