Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Photography shoots!?

    Hey guys, Im into photography (Nikon D300 with stuff!) and basic/mid photoshop and class myself as still amiture but have sold pictures (landscapes/buildings etc) to friends and to the public on market stalls etc, so cant be that bad! Looking into earning some extra coin for playing around with the car etc, funds that we dont have to throw away. Basically looking for abit extra pocket money to spend on the R. Anyway, have any of you had photoshoots done of your car and how much did they cost? What did you get for your buck? Disc of completed pictures for you to print as you wish? What was the quality and were you happy with the end result? ...VW...............

(must be Brissy area or willing to come this way) + (its free so no garantee that they will be any good, just a pratice run!)

      Free pics ! OK come take some of mine in Kenmore.
      I'm a bit of a photo buff myself but generally like small or macro things. I've tried with the car before but I get glare problems or colour distortion. Getting the background artefacts correct is a chore as well.

      So what lens do you generally use ?

      Here is a tip. Go take photos in the coles carpark. You can count on 30min+ when a mum gets out of and R36 with 2 kids.

          Nice setting

          I'm an ex-pro photog, but all my attempts at car photography failed miserably.

          Heres my best:


          Actually, I havent really tried since... I should give it another go sometime!

            I tried some underground car park shots but got binned straight away! Daylight, dusk and dawn for me. Your shot to me looks like its two shots blended, the white haze around the bodywork?....VW............

              Maybe it will be wasted on me the geek. I got a new 50mm lens today. Geez it is sharp. My first pic beat anything I've taken before with the kit lens.
              I find the hardest thing with photos is getting the composition correct.

                  mate honestly the best thing to do is get out and take lots of your own car... post them up and as they get better youll get confidence and be able to sell yourself... other thing is get to GTG and get pics there or other car shows...

                  i have been shooting for about 8 months and its just practise.. there is 1000's of ppl who take pictures of cars so being different is hard so its about being known in a community for taking pics... i honestly think itll be difficult to charge ppl unless you have shot for a magazine and have lighting etc... the reason i say this is because ppl like me will shoot anyones car for free just for the experience...

                  hope it goes well and post up some of the stuff you have sold as i am interested to see what its like as a part time photohack LOL...

                  here is some of my stuff over the last 8 months... as i said, more to take, better you get...
