PS13

September 20th, 2012

Lately I have been spending the majority of my days and nights working and cleaning up my car in preparation for Matsuri. A good advantage of daily driving is finding common problems, faults and glitches that tend to give way. I have pretty much been trying to go over the car in order to replace so it becomes more reliable. Here is how it looks at the moment, still pretty much the same. The front got lowered a few weeks ago after the new exhaust was fitted. The front got dropped around 15mm which let me wind in a little more caster due to the LCA’s being at a level height now, no longer facing down. As for the rear, around 5mm or so as I want it to be raking! I have luckily, found another full set of AVS6 in black, which will be painted white to match these ones in 8Js which is an inch wider than my current ones. Super excited to get them and have matching wheels to use on the track.

Pretty excited to drive this car on the track in a few weeks time but there is still some work to do! x

As of the past couple of days I’ve been assigning myself to some personal photography projects. A year or two ago I worked with strobes for a couple of shoots, I never really enjoyed it so I stuck with what I love best, natural light. Back on subject I’ve been speaking with some people and browsing the web of lighting cars properly, nothing half-assed. After reading for a couple of hours yesterday I managed to find a fluro light in my house and tested it out on mums VW Golf in the garage, not doing too badly I was immediately addicted. Today I woke up and headed to the lighting store and picked up a 4ft fluorescent light which plugs straight into a power outlet. As soon as I got home I headed straight back to the garage to do both exterior and interior photos. The main reason I’m doing this is for a shoot I’m doing tonight which will be my first night feature.

My camera was setup outside the car on a tripod. 20sec, f/11, ISO50 on a 10 second timer to allow me to jump in the car and locate myself to light inside. I took a few exposures and light the interior from a few different places. I noticed in all the photos the light was really visible so I put the camera on live view, and clicked the record button. Jumping back in the car I began to spread the light across the interior and then pulled away to review the video. Reviewing it gave me an idea on where to put the light and where NOT to put the light so it was a good little test. Setting the camera back up and firing a few exposures by lighting different areas of the interior the shots seemed okay. This was the final result of the interior photo which I’m reasonably impressed about, it’s still a little patchy/blotchy but it will take time, I’m still quite new to the Layer Mask tool in Photoshop too! I’ll keep you updated on how I go tonight! I feel quite excited, it almost feels I’m entering a new era of photography!

Last month I decided to buy some Fuji colour film and see how it compares with Kodak olour film I’ve been using previously, mainly to see what I like better and which to use for Japan next month. Being told the tones and colours are different between the two, by the looks of the roll I got developed yesterday I really like the colour and tones the Fujifilm develops. In saying this I have to get my hands on some black and white film and try that. On the other hand I have a roll of 120 film that is waiting to be processed, if that turns out well I’l consider taking Rob’s Dianna F to Japan for something different.
This is a photo of Peter Holloway’s PS13 which is currently in it’s build progress. I shot an article on this RocketBunny kitted machine last month, check it out here. Really looking forward to this car being finished.
