Tristin Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Since Im a photographer myself I will pass on some constructive criticism: The Bad: 1. Knock it off with the JDM angles (though I do like 1 and 8) 2. Some of the photos are unnecessarily dark/shadowed 3. I would have corrected the warm tint to all the indoor shots (e.g., its too warm) 4. Why is there a Firebird in the background of 7/8 (and in 7 the hatch is open) 5. No interior or engine shots? The Good: 1. Car looks like its done really well 2. Images seem to have pretty good composition for the most part 3. I really like 1 and 8. Some others might be savable with a bit of PP. 4. You have less than 10 posts and ou have shared like 20 photos... that never happens. We love pictures here. Now that sounds harsh, but it will only make your next set awesome. Please make a build thread and share with us the rest of the car. Welcome to the site. 1 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Since Im a photographer myself I will pass on some constructive criticism: The Bad: 1. Knock it off with the JDM angles (though I do like 1 and 8) ^^I agree with this the most. In general, I think you did very well. The lighting on the majority of the pictures seems to be spot on. This reminds me, I need to get my recent pictures up. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 JDM angles seem to be the Instagram of automotive photography. Just because its at some crazy angle, doesnt instantly make it awesome. Edit: Those are really high-backed seats... what are those from? Quote Link to comment

Thanks, my friend took the pictures, I do like automotive photography too, so constructive critizism is ok, I bought the car last year, it looked like this.. interior and engine needs work, that's why he didn't take any pictures there... It came with an l20b and dogleg trans... I do hate that "cai" thing and the way the battery was hooked, remeber these pictures are from last year when I bought it... and here are some pictures I took before I installed a diy coilover kit from technotoy's..

The car already had them when I bought it, a friend told me it looked like it came from a Prelude.. now I want to start a build thread.. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yeah, that CAI setup is crazy! Im not a fan of those pedals, but overall the car is really nice. Looks like you got yourself a pretty sweet ride. Are there many 510s down by you?- I think theres another forum member here that from GT, but hes moving... Quote Link to comment

Thanks, paradoxxx is the other member, there are some nice 510's here... there are like 3 510's with sr20det, and other great examples.. these two are from the same owner.. (these pictures where taken by the same friend that took the pictures of my car in the 1rst post...) actually, all these cars belong to him... :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Car looks good, regardless of the picture angles. I'm not a photographer of any scale so it's all fancy hocus pocus to me when people talk about filters and stuff. :rofl: The prelude seats look high because in the prelude they mount directly to the floor pan, so when you stick them on 510 brackets they are higher than they were in the original car (they are also just really tall seats) Good call on changing the mirrors too, those red ones were pretty funky looking. What size tire are you running, I'm very impressed with the fitment. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 What are you planning to switch to? Quote Link to comment
Mesarina Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 What are you planning to switch to? I haven made my mind up, but maybe 15x8 rota grid, shakotan or new enkei 92, but I don't know if I can play with the offset so I can have 15x8 and still be that low... Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Finally!!! the official presentation of the dime!! Dont forget about my coilovers...... :fu: Quote Link to comment

These are 195/50/15 on 15x8 +0's with a roll and a 1/4" pull. Owner said that they clear then fender fine, but run slightly on the door frame... so stiffer rear springs would have solved that.

Tristin Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Camaro and Firebirds are the same car... Im over it. I will admit that I know nothing of American cars, so take it as you will. I wasnt being harsh, I wouldnt have even said anything if I knew they werent his photos; I was trying to help. Ive done a lot of automotive photography in my day lol. Anyway, I still thought the pics were good because the car looks good in general. PS. Maybe I wouldnt be such a Grumpy McSkinny Jeans if my rims were done when promised :poke: By this pace, maybe I can mount them by Canby 2013. Quote Link to comment

Haha Im all stocked up on "vintage" gamer tees and fingerless gloves... Son Im standing by to purchase tires. I agree that that green wagon is dope. Not really a big fan of ragtops, but it looks legit. I didnt know there were that many clean Dattos down there. Quote Link to comment
