Evo 9 GT

right this is the first time in transportation so go easy on me no im really looking for some c & c on some pics i took for a friend of mine.

this was my first time shooting at iso 1600 i was well suprised how well they came out but i was even more suprised how quick this beast is as ive always owned subarus, any it was timed a few weeks back and also put on a rolling road session and its kicking out 615 bhp at the fly and 545 nm of torque. any way give me kicking if they are crap

youre suprised they came out well @ ISO 1600? Come on man, that 5D is 2nd to none in noise!!!

i'm confused as to why you would use iso 1600 on these shots and not use a tripod?

its a nice attempt, but the white balance is way out in all of them and there is alot of shadow. keep trying . got a list of mods for the beast?

i struggled with the white balance the car park ones was like a yellow light made everything awfull looking with a yellow tinge and the one at the monument there were 2 massive tungston flood lights with the one on the left not working again they were a deep yellow in colour so had to adjust slightly

i did use a tripod believe me it was very dark on both locations in fact a few times it really struggled to auto focus most were shot at F4 approx 0.5 of a second

you should use the custom white balance function, if you don't know how to, im sure there are many articles available to explain it.

Just looking at that now im seeing him in the morning with get a list of the mods i know hes spent £25k in mods alone

I had a shot on one of yours to get rid of the yellow-ness. Needs a shot of noise reduction, just didnt get around to it....

If it's super dark and the lens is hunting for focus, have a flashlight handy

tried that but because we are talking about large areas it left every where else pitch black even with the flash on full power

thanks for that scott

Good start.

WB can't work if the lights don't have a full RGB spectrum. Those might have been sodium vapor lights which only a have spectrum of 2 lines in the yellow.
Seen this?

ISO 200-6400 20D Tests

Well, then you could have used ISO 100 & manual focused. AF needs to "see" contrast to work.

And...

some good links there photosguy . id say judging by the colour casts etc, the lights were a mix of halogen and flourescent.

thanks for the links photoguy ive been talking to some one today and the lights are sodium
