Guess I'll save for a decent one then. Cheers, mate.

Eric, some good shots man!

With the auto focus, have you tried focus lock? With those kind of photos, set the focus point to, say, middle. Aim it at the item you're shooting so it locks on (dont frame it, just aim at that point), press the button half way, hold the button in that position and move to take the photo. It'll keep that focus, and save time manually focussing! Its a trick I use cos I'm half blind. Never too sure if its focussed right or not.

Yeah, I tried switching from Matrix to point. Problem was that a lot of the nature photos had Crocs behind a few leafs/twigs. I tried shooting a few shots with auto - all crap. Then went to manual and would take a few at slightly different focus - all looked ok through the view finder. Of course, generally all of them were a little off which is why I only posted some of the better shots on auto. I've still got a lot to learn :blush:

You'll get there mate. I've been shooting for just over 6 months now, and I've learn a lot in that time. Just listen to Sam, Sidd and Zennon and you'll be right.

Sam, awesome shot!

Hello hello. so far so good! Getting used to a new town but heading off to Europe tomorrow for a month, then back to London to find some work..

Thought I better start adding to these monthly photo threads! So many awesome photos on here, very nice work. I really need to get some practice!

Nice shots mate, I like the graf one with the R33, would look even better without so many reflections in the car though. imho.

Next time I might find somewhere with less lights. Or kick them out... Its the guetto anyway, it'd be normal to see people kicking lights :ermm:

Sam can start a 'many cans from different lands' thread :P I'd be up for that. Good to hear all is well dude!

My 50mm 1.8D arrived today. I'm busy packing/moving and I've been working off site for most of the week so no real time to play with it properly.

Here's the only shot i've tried so far. brenizer effect on the car just outside of the garage. Not so sharp as it was all hand held in very bad light. But the technical mumbo jumbo behind it worked well. SO expect something nice over the next week (if i get time :) )

      Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)

      By JoVo · Posted

      Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
