TDUFREAK500

The Venom also didn't count for a record because they only made a run one way, not both.

There was a teenager here who did something similar, sadly the second time ended up with him wrapping the car around a tree and losing his life.

Lets give this a go, inb4 Kelv is like 4 seconds faster haha. [ATTACH]30392[/ATTACH]

Yeah from what I have heard the T300RS is a better wheel than the Logitech products.

My best so far, absolutely no match for Kelv though haha [ATTACH]30272[/ATTACH] Update: Had another go and managed to shave just over 2 seconds off my best time. [ATTACH]30273[/ATTACH]

Really depends on how I'm feeling when I play tbh, sometimes I am okay, and sometimes even getting shot in the back out of nowhere in an FPS game can make me jump.

First of many photos from my trip to the snow, this one is my personal favourite of the bunch so I put it up first. Golden Halcyon by Joshua Whitcombe, on Flickr

I haven't played the second one yet, but I still haven't finished the first one yet, but I can download since I have Origin Access, I'm just not sure if my computer will run it very well.

Was playing Mirrors Edge a couple of weeks ago, it's a really fun game apart from a few little niggles (mostly the cops that literally come from nowhere and there is always like 1,000 of them haha).

That's making me even more excited for my snow trip in a couple of weeks, only doing one day on the snow, but excited to be going back after 6 or 7 years away from the snow!

The video doesn't do the sound justice, its on a totally different level in person!

The dude is a legend, and just as funny in person!

Nomuken!

Thanks guys! @Diablo in terms of the GT cars, they all sounded amazing, but I think the howl of the V12 Aston Martins was my personal favourite, but out of the cars in the photos I posted, the RX7 is my personal favourite, it has a screaming N/A 3 rotor under the hood that sounds amazing at WOT! I actually have some iPhone video of the car from that day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a31u__QAb8

What game is that Kelv? The Stubby Bob style truck is sweet!

Yeah man I love the 40mm, it's a great bit of glass, it's a bit of a pain to shoot with compared to the 18-55 kit lens, with it being a prime so you have to walk around a lot more to get your framing just right, so for shooting in a motorsport environment it's not the best, but I still love using it when I can. But I usually use the 18-55 as it's a more practical lens if you have to work around groups of people or you don't have a lot of time to frame your shot, but the quality of the 40mm is much better, so it's still a great lens to have in the camera bag. and in terms of you choosing between the 35 and 40mm, look up reviews and see which one has the better quality glass, and is nicer to shoot with, it's not a huge difference in length at such a short focal length, even though with a crop body the 40mm is more like a 65mm (if your sensor is a 1.6x crop like pretty much all canon crop bodies, not entirely sure about Nikon's crop factor though) at the end of the day the lens with the better quality glass will produce better images. Btw macro can be cool for shooting details on cars.

Thanks man, and yeah a bit of CA is to be expected with kit lenses, they are low quality glass and that comes with the territory. In terms of the mad mike shot, I did try brightening up his face more, but it felt unnatural to me, I do like to have some drama to shots, but I also try to keep things looking reasonably realistic, golden hour being a rare exception as I love to make the oranges really pop.

Most non-commercial stuff is done in camera though, and outside of commercial circles, adding blur in post is often frowned upon in the photography community. it's better to try and push yourself to get the best image you can in camera. You could have still tried to shoot the car with a slower shutter speed but taken the photo either in the shade or in the sun, trying to get the whole car lit right between such different lighting is very hard to do, an important part of photography is reading the light and working with it, it's something that takes time to learn though. The shot of the Skoda you easily could have gotten that level of motion in camera, the lighting is pretty even and you are pretty much parallel to the camera, panning does take practice but it looks so much better in camera than added in post. @Mau, it's not a bad shot, but again too much dutch angle, I feel like I need to twist my head to look at the bike, and the composition is a little bit tight, the bike feels cramped into the corner, I also feel like the blacks need to be darker and it needs some contrast, it doesn't really pop in the image and just kinda blends in with the background and I'm not really sure where to look. That is another key thing, you need to make sure that the viewer is looking where you want them to in the image, so it needs to pop a lit bit compared to it's surroundings. Edit: Just realised I haven't posted any of my stuff in this thread, so have a few random ones.

Everything about the Zonda Barchetta is beautiful, except for those damn wheel covers, they ruin what is a beautiful design, and with there only being 3 made I doubt we will ever see it without them.

I feel like having more of the building in the shot would have actually made for a nice backdrop, and cut out the bike in the background and drawn a bit more attention towards the car. But I can understand that the reflections in the windows might be distracting, but if you were to use a polarizing filter on the camera (not sure if you have a DSLR or not though) you could cut down on the reflections both on the car windows and the building. Just some ideas for the future, I have also found that if I am unsure about composition I will take several photos with different compositions and choose the one I like best.

@mau92 The editing is nice, albeit the shadows are a bit on the dark side, which means you have lost detail in the wheels. As for the shot itself, you have used too much dutch angle, a little bit can be effective in certain situations but too much can detract from a photo, and in terms of where you placed the car in frame it's pretty good, but I would have personally placed it in the lower left corner so there is less of the covered bike in the background and more of the building, otherwise not a bad effort! @rassava The composition is pretty good, perhaps the car is a little bit too close to the edge of the frame, but otherwise very good, not a big fan of the editing, but that is probably just because it isn't really my style, but overall not a bad shot considering the area you had to work with.

It really depends on the colour of the car and the design of the wheels as to how good it looks, but I am rather partial to black wheels.

That was awesome dude, love a bit of high speed dorifuto! The backie was sweet too!

Voted for the 641, because Ferrari's V12 F1 cars sound glorious, and are pretty good looking too!

It's a logged in member thing, I see it too, happens to at least one image in every tbc poll.
