Hai Frens,

Recently my son and I went to Bali for 2 weeks. Cheap cheap but fun. I took some pics. Camera used was a nikon d100 with tamrom 28-300 lens.

I need a wider lens as 28 was not really enough for landscape shots, but I made do with what I had.

Let me know what you think.

Photos have been massively resized to ensure fast download on SAU.

First set:

Mount Batur:

Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is an active volcano located at the center of two concentric calderas north west of Mount Agung, Bali, Indonesia.

My son and I climbed this mountain/volcano at around 2am. It took 2.5 hours to get to the top of the 1.8km high volcano.

The picture of the route we would climb. This was located in the tour guides shake at the base of the mountain. The one we went up was the highest one on the right (in the pic)

Top of Mount Batur looking down through the clouds to the village lights below. Being able to see how far down the village is below the clouds shows you just how high up we were.

The wall near the shack at the top. To the right is a massive drop down.

At this point it was pretty dark so I used a long shutter exposure time to capture as much light as possible - hence the blurred people as they move too much ;)

Waiting for the sun to rise, also trying out different settings on the slr.

Other mountain climbers waiting for the sunrise. Note the clothing. It was freaking cold up there!

Solem figure standing at the other mountain top shack. They had some trippy gamelan music playing up there. Gave the whole thing an errie atmosphere

This crazy arse person stood on the ledge of a huge drop. Lucky there were no winds

n529634574_1244173_885.jpg

These monkeys came out when we got to the top. Then a dog chased them around. It was still dark around this time, but the long exposure time allowed for as much light as possible.

Bali Bike Ride

We went on a mountain bike ride through the mountain area and then down through one of Bali's oldest villages.

This other bike rider in the background was from NZ. He had a pretty twisted sense of humour.

Orphanage

My son brought some of his old toys over from Australia to give to orphans in Bali. The happiness simple things like tennis balls brought to these kids just blew me away.

Walking into the Orphanage

Some of the orphans sitting around. The kid standing kept sticking his tongue out in every foto!

One of the rooms. Note the sewing machines in the corner.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
