Hehe cheers man, yeah went on Tuesday. Thought it would be a good chance to test out the 5D2. Prob go back again at some point with my macro lens and tripod + flash.. I used my 70-200 2.8 IS and 400 f/5.6L all day.

Sidd, you are obsessed with the harbour lol

I got so bored yesterday when i went.. It will be last set of night time shots.. Im so over it!!

Im gonna start getting into glamour/model shoots.. Just saving up ab it of money on lighting equipment :whistling:

Those city shots will probably be my last set for a long long time..

anyone here own pocketwizards? I want one..

I don't have them, but i'm keen to get some. I don't know exactly what I need though. I have the ST-E2 at the moment which I use to fire flash from above my fish tanks. I have used it on some car shots though.

Fark that is a cheap solution Xmetal, thanks for the heads up man!!! Did you get yours from the same people on ebay or??

I bought mine from my local camera shop here in newy however they are made by the same people as the ones on eBay, on a full charge they'll have an average range of 30m, beware though, they are prone to electrical interference so they have this nasty habit of triggering the flash at random. :D

If your after alternative triggers, try cybersyncs from alien bee (unsure if they ship to aus as they seem to only sent there strobes to the US, check alien bees website), otherwise i recommend cactus triggers, there great, but as expected sometimes they don't fire multiple flashes and the build quality is a little bit flimsy,but then again you get what you pay for and they work for me 99% of the time. www.gadgetinfinity.com Get the V4's as they are the newest ones.

Also for all you canon Nutta's i HIGHLY recommend you head over to http://photography-on-the.net/forums There is a vast amount of information on how to's as well as you can post anything photography related or show your photo's or ask for help on how to process/print something and your bound to get an answer, great bunch of people!

I want pocketwizards to also fire my strobes etc..

Im considering purchasing some alien bee strobes.. Thinking like the B800s..

Still gotta do a fair bit more research on exactly what i need to setup a small studio.. But i sorta got an idea of what i want!!

Just cant go any further as i still need to save up money.. so expensive all these things lol

I remember that B&H had some "impact" lighting kits, which consisted of 2 umbrellas i think and i can't remember what else for around $100 US, might be worth looking at? Yeah, check if AB ship to australia, because as far as i know, they only ship to the states which is sad because they got some awesome gear e.g. AB800's!

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
