I like those holden wallpaper esp the 1st one you made.. One of the shots could be straightned up more and perhaps added more light?? What do you think?

Can you make me on of my car :( pretty please!! heheh

Basti - i like the moody feel of the shot, but would have liked to see more of the background for this style of pp. Havnt seen you post pictures in ages.. where you been hiding?

my first shot with my only umbrella setup... i've got 3 cactus receivers but only one flash :(

Dont worry sometimes all you need is just one light source!! Keep at it.

Would like to see the colour version of this. I reckon with the flash you could make that green grass vibrant.

hmm well thats a slight crop. i'll see if i can get up the original when i get home but i think i saved over it. i've just been lazy and busy with other things recently. and i cant find my nifty50 :(

Matt - Difference between a shoot-thru and a softbox is that the softbox is more directional and a larger light source therefore spreading more light and less light fall off.

The brolly would be the same as a softbox effectively at a further distance but using more power in your strobe/flash. The softbox is a lot softer as well depending on whether you use the inner diffuser as well as the outer and/or a grid too.

The light also isn't as harsh out of a softbox.

We can make a wallpaper one time soon sidd. no problems! I have a backup receiver for the flashes now so the lighting problem i had shoudln't be to much of an issue in the future i hope.

thanks for the explaination between boxes and brollies. i'm 100% new to lighting and haven't really had an opportunity to play with either enough to work out the properties of each. I'm thinking i might get a cheap brollie soon just so i can compare and learn whats good and bad about each.

Took this on the weekend, It's not a car, but i like the dark look about it.

No worries matt. It's pretty cheap to get a lightstand a brolly as well as a flash bracket from image melbourne. Pretty sure you can get kits as well now. Around $100 or cheaper.

Nice Barra! I'm guessing the flash was camera right as you can see how the light falls off. Good exposure too, maybe a touch brighter but great job!

Invest in a Dell IPS monitor and calibration software like Spyder 3 or Eye-One or Color Munki. All good devices and give you accurate colour day in day out.

I use a Dell IPS monitor as well as a second screen for browsing the web and spyder 3 software on both. Well worth it!

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
