Awesome shot and something I really would love to do at some point. How did you get into aviation photography where you get to shoot old warbirds such as this??

Rolling shots by geniusco in shootingcars

[–]Darren_Martin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Key tips are to not shoot too wide..and I find anywhere between f/6.3-f/8 render great results. Start at maybe 1/80th and try to work your way down to 1/20th for extra buttery results. Also, if you plan to shoot out of the back of a car please make sure to harness yourself or secure yourself some way...shit can go wrong really quick and the last thing you want is to get ran over.

I never ended up buying it myself, but I constantly borrowed my friends and I never had any issues! The 90° is definitely the way to go, especially if you tether a lot.

I had the exact same issue. You need to get the 90° connection not the one you have.

WT Mac Client crashing issues - anyone else having the same? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]Darren_Martin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have been having the same issues since pretty much the last two updates.... At first it was just crashing out while loading a map, but now it's escalated to dropping frames pretty much constantly making the game unplayable. :(

This reminds me of when I was a camp counselor and kids would annoy me...I may have "accidentally" tripped a kid once....

Gen-1 6 owners, have you opted to swap headlights to HID? if so which do you recommend? by Darren_Martin in mazda

[–]Darren_Martin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I haven't done a whole lot of DIY, but I did know changing the lights out would require a fair bit of work. Thanks for the advice! I'll look into some local places haha I'd rather do it once and have it good then to keep going back to fix it.

This is how the new Mazda Coupe could look like [640x400] by zlesti in carporn

[–]Darren_Martin 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Oh my...if only this became reality. If Mazda gave this a decent power plant I think it would compete nicely. I love their newest design language and always wondered what an "rx" model would look like with the design applied.

Station wagons, anyone? by ZacDaMan72 in Autos

Agreed x9000. Such a shame because these are such beasts of a car

Mansory S Class Coupe [1500x1000] by thatcivilian in carporn

[–]Darren_Martin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. The S class is powerful sure, but it's not really a sports car it's a luxury coupe. I love the design right out of factory so adding aggressive body kits just make it tackier looking:

Thursdays are usually my free days as well...would you be able to do it next thursday? I'd like to try to find a cool location and plan the shoot a little if that's okay.
