Some nice cars there.
Location really adds to them
Well photographed :cool:

The-Game · 01-02-2010 5:59pm

Great job on the pics, cars look very impressive!
Trueno drive nice?

hi_im_fil · 01-02-2010 7:24pm

Thanks! I've never been in the trueno actually tbh, just snapped a few pics at a meet before I was talking to the owner of it

Yakult · 01-02-2010 7:38pm

That levin a really nice

01-02-2010 10:30pm

I really like that blue on the first car :cool:

hi_im_fil · 01-02-2010 11:59pm

The trueno is actually a standard colour, I thought it would have been resprayed that colour. One of the nicest truenos in the country imo

Vtec · 16-02-2010 2:25am

Very nice silvias!

ronanc15 · 16-02-2010 10:23pm

Phil you're pretty handy with that camera as ive always said. Must get a few newer snaps of the 180 soon!

EDIT: also this trueno is without doubt the nicest one in the country. the attention to detail in the car is sick!

Testament1 · 16-02-2010 10:57pm

That Trueno is gorgeous looking, wish my own Levin was that colour! Those P1 BuddyClub wheels that are on it?

ronanc15 · 17-02-2010 12:42pm

Have you any pics of the engine bay in ted's trueno to put up phil?

For those who havent seen it, it is immaculate with an airbrushed rocker cover, airbrushed strut bar and gauges. Yes, gauges in the engine bay

fully functional too

Ya theyre P1s alright

hi_im_fil · 17-02-2010 12:58pm

Cheers Ronan

I don't think I have any of the engine bay, but I'll take a look when I'm at home later on. You can just about make out the airbrushing and gauges in the 1st pic if you squint!

Atavan-Halen · 17-02-2010 5:05pm

I think I seen that Trueno a while ago, but it's actually gorgeous in real life too. It was a sunny day and the blue just stood out.

hi_im_fil · 17-02-2010 5:36pm

No engine bay pics Ronan

There was a big crowd around it when the bonnet was up, didn't want to be getting in the way with the tripod.

Love the look of the interior, but why 2 RSM's?? One for the driver and one for the passenger?!

Testament1 · 16-01-2011 8:13pm

Ha just noticed he has the same Padre Pio sticker on the windscreen that my Levin does. Wonder if it was a factory option from Toyota?

One to keep the passenger occupied I suppose :pac:

I never even spotted the one on the drivers side till you pointed it out :eek:

Notch000 · 17-01-2011 8:12pm

Hi Phill,
ON the photographic side can you tell me what sort of camera, lens, setings(app, iso,S, WB etc) you are using for the first few pics ? photoshoped effects too ???cheers
Notch

hi_im_fil · 18-01-2011 2:53am

The first pics of the trueno on post 21?

I used a Nikon D40 with the kit 15-55mm f3-5.6 lens for those shots.

Similar settings used for the next shot. The only photoshopping done was adjusting exposure slightly when converting from RAW and a slight boost in clarity and saturation.

The in car shot was taken by wedging the camera in the passenger side headrest of the front seat. The driver drove at approx 20-30mph while I sat in the back seat to take the pics.

The out of car rig shots were taken by jamming two tripod legs between the front window and door frame while the third leg was rested on the drivers door. The camera was then set up on the tripod. The car was pushed slowly (about 2mph) by us. Hope that helps

PS the exif data should be in the flickr pics if you follow the links

TestTransmission · 18-01-2011 2:51pm

wow,great photos

Notch000 · 18-01-2011 10:19pm

good work, im on the D40 train myself, goes to show how capable the D40 & kit lens is!! just getting into photoshop as well.
Intersting setup with the tripods & 2mph push, il have to try it myself

Pkiernan · 19-01-2011 8:22am

Try getting more "hoodies" in the pics - adds a bit of class...

I know - I forgot the smiley face.

The cars pictured actually do look great, and very well kept- not the normal giant wing and cut off coil springs.

Apologies for any offence caused.
