do you plan on changing those wheels?

 

no. not for a while at least.
they don't look that great in pictures, they look 10x better in person.

 

what kind of rims are these?

i luv my tsws

 

hey guys, figured i'd come here to get some opinions from my fellow TB guys. was planning on pickin up a new set of lugs nuts but cant come to a final decision. im currently sittin on a set of gold volk SF-challenges.
i really like the Project Kics R40's with the blue caps. either neochro or classic.. maybe u guys would recommend something else.. all opinions taken into consideration. let me know guys, spring is right around the corner n need new lugs to put the wheels back on!

a pic of my car..


pic of the lugs (the first 2)

 

I had the neochrome on mine for awhile but then decided to go back to a normal simple set.

 

god I love this color, wish I would have gone with this for my G.

 

I rock the neochromes myself as well.. And I have gold wheels.. They look really good.. But mine are neochrome on top as well

 

hey Twalls

whats your exposure settings to get it to look like dusk at a time when it should be almost pitch black except for ambient light. or would this be a shutter speed thing.

id like to get into automotive photography still trying to learn my canon T2i tho. Thanks

 

Yea Tony,

please step up your photog game, the above example is simply "mind blowing" not "life altering" so please...bring your A game going forward...

 

This was actually shot by a friend I was teaching light painting to..

This technique is where you have a light source (some use a flashlight, I used a flash and a softbox) and you have the shutter set to BULB mode..

While the shutter is open, you walk around the subject "painting it with light" until you think you've properly exposed it.. The shutter being open for a long duration of time will capture the ambient light and even in pitch blackness will make it seem more like dusk (normally a min and a half exposure) or even daylight (at least a 3 min exposure)..

As I said, I hand held a speedlight inside a 24" softbox as I walked around the car I think about 4 times, hitting the test button at different spots on the car to bring it into the exposure.

It takes a LOT of practice to get it right, because you also have to balance the amount of power from the flash based on your aperture as well.. Remember light from a flash is controlled by aperture.

Aperture also controls depth of field as well..

So the easiest way to do it is determine if you want your background in focus or blurry, and then set your flash power settings to your liking.. If you walk around the car a few times and the light is too bright? Then lower your flash power, if it's too dark, then increase your flash power...

Now since I told you how to do it, I can't wait to see your results.. HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!

Hey man.. Don't think anything about the camera.. We have the same sensor in our camera and I have a 7D. There's really no benefit of using a 7D as opposed to a T2i w/ this technique.. It's really all trial and error and patience man.


Hahahahahahah.. I'll try man.. I'll try..

I know this isn't TB G's but I shot this pretty recently..
