    My Clio made a friend last night

    Wow, your camera takes really good photos! Must have cost a few hundred quid for one that good? I joke of course :D must be hard giving back such nice kit! Same F40 as this shot? http://500px.com/photo/54555150

    Knuckles' LY 197 R27 in the leaves at Oulton Park

    Knuckles had been dropping hints for a while that he wanted some snaps of his car so last Saturday at Oulton I took the opportunity to grab these. Scott's Clio 197 R27 - 1 by AdrianFRST, on Flickr Scott's Clio 197 R27 - 3 by AdrianFRST, on Flickr Scott's Clio 197 R27 - 4 by...

    Goodbye Clio 200 :( Hello Focus RS :)

    Well 4 months later I totally retract what I said about them not being twice as good as a 200. They definitely are! It took me a year to do my first 3000 miles in the 200, I've done the same in 3 months with the RS. I'm still going out for no reason other than to drive the car and I've never...

    Bit of Photoshop.

    Haha! That's my old car. Sold it in May but still have the plate. Where was the original photo from? I took loads and I'm trying to figure out what the original background was?

    Goodbye Clio 200 :( Hello Focus RS :)

    Well, the best car I've ever had (prior to yesterday) is up for sale because I've just bought the best car I've ever had. Only done 80 miles or so in it but here are some first thoughts: It feels bigger, but not as big as I'd feared. Can throw it about a bit but not as much as the...

    GW 200 detailed + details + the importance of good light

    Cheers guys! The sheet acts as a diffuser, so it turns the very harsh directional light from the flashes into much softer, more spread out light. Kind of like a huge lampshade. It's two Canon Speedlite Flashes with built in radio control receivers, and a transmitter attached to the camera.

    GW 200 detailed + details + the importance of good light

    Spent most of Saturday on the car and by the time I was done it was dark and cold so took photos in the garage with some new lighting gear: Normally they do interior shots like this in a studio to get the light, but you can DIY it with a couple of flashes and a white sheet...

    That dealer looks familiar! Are you local to Chester or did you travel a bit to get it?

    Temp spruce up on Poppy

    What's your method for ONR? I've used microfibre towels and grout sponges but I'm still not convinced it's not damaging the car. I've kind of accepted that even if it's not as good as two buckets and a proper mitt the time and water saved means if the car's not too dirty it's the best way to go.

    Thanks guys and gals! Between 7am and 7:30am this morning. Exif in the images shows an hour later as I forgot to switch the camera off DST... Doh!

    Temp spruce up on Poppy

    Good work! I did mine yesterday but the difference is I'm lazy and I stop at the point where it looks clean enough for the photos! :D

    Clio 197 Cup & Golf R32 Day Out (PIC HEAVY)

    I'm using Adobe Lightroom 4, but you can get the same with Photoshop CS6 as it uses the same RAW convertor. Can you upload the original .CR2 file somewhere? I can have a play around and see what I can do if you like?

    Thanks guys! Canon 5D MkIII with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L ISL, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM lenses.

    Sunset

    Following on from my Autumn thread, on the way home I stopped off at a location I'd got some nice shots at before. Just the right time of day when the light was perfect. My apologies if you're sick of seeing this car. I'll shoot someone else's soon!

    Clio 197 Cup & Golf R32 Day Out (PIC HEAVY)

    Hope you don't mind but I had a quick play about Before: After: It looks a bit grainy in places because I've edited the JPG, if you do this with the RAW file you can get much more out of it. White cars plus sky and ground are a bad combination as the camera has difficulty...
