Peta, K10-100 cameras, as most, only go 30secs.....you need to buy a corded remote..($10 off eblah) that way on 'Bulb' you lock the lens open...*just ,make sure you have full batteries*

also make sure you set for white balance...ie fluro and sulpher lights change the overall colour in the pic!!

recent night shots....

oh..got some great shots there Xmetal!!!!!!

oh oh...Siddr - sthrn polaris is 32degress above dead south!! (and the stars that look like continuous dots is either clouds moving fast and covering the stars OR if its windy, could be slight camera shake.)

Very nice photos dogsum esp the stair trails.

Quick question: What lens did you use?

Here is my 2nd attempt at it :)

Much better attempt than my first one i must say!!

Todays attempt was just to get the settings right etc. Not many bright stars out tonight.. But thought i give it a try before the clouds kicked in!!

No editing, just resized and sharpened.

nice one sid - but you should have something in the foreground to focus on, the stars will always look the same, but you need something in the foreground also...even if its just your house or a tree (use some gels on the tree to colour it or change the WB to make any flouros change it to blue!!)

like this (from my backyard one boring night)

:)

The reason i didnt focus on the house last night was because there were no stairs over the top of it.

Also it was a little windy last night so the trees were moving.. so i thought it would be all blury if i was focusing on the tree?? right??

But last night was just a test.. cool cheers will try it again!! btw I like your shot!!

Also i didnt understand this bit: use some gels on the tree to colour it or change the WB to make any flouros change it to blue!!

Btw what lens are you using?

Basti - two planes flew past :)

Awesome photos.

Just bought myself a Nikon D90 as I have always wanted to enter the world of DSLR got bored of the stock digicams. Cant wait till I get to the same level of quality you guys are at.

I have the kit lens 18-55mm so that should keep me busy for a while. Will be buying a fast prime lens today so that should keep me even busier.

Dont you hate it when the clouds come :)

So glad i went to check up on it outside, otherwise would have wasted my effort.

It was perfect clear skies and then 10mins later BAM clouds come out of know where lol

No editing.. straight out of the camera

Also do note this was the only direction i could see stars lol.. behind me was the moon with nothing around it..

I split it up into two pics..

Star trails are always such a cool thing to do however for those of you living in the city it can be difficult as you've got lots of ambient light given off from the surrounding buildings and other crap. Best bet would be to pick a good clear night and make a trip out towards Lithgow and shoot in the mountains. :bunny:

I've done star trails before with good results - the trick is finding the celestial south pole and aiming from there. :(

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
