That's a lonnnnggg wait until sunday. You better hope the sun doesn't come out or get the black light working VERY soon!

P.S. I'm laughing my fcuking ass off at you Owen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owen, You have checked the car for semen right?

In other news... I missed a deadline for a local photo comp waiting for a blue sky and forgetting dates. here's the other 2 i put together for this. Those who met at the river on sunday mat recognise the scene.

This one is a bit of a different style to what I usually try to create, what are your thoughts? I'm not sure about it. I definately know that some shadows on the pillars would have gone a long way, but besides that... what do you think?

Well we did do something :( I shall not reveal the secret though :)

Matt i don't think tilts work on landscapes. It's just something "wrong" about it. I like the processing though. Makes it seem like an old film photograph!

Nah i mean the horizon isn't straight because it's tilted. That kind of way. It's an abstract shot and i like it, but i would prefer it more if it was straight.

On another note - I'm watching the Jasmine star Creative Live show (All 5 days of it i have). If your a wedding photographer - She really has direction! She knows what she wants straight away. Although i find it weird how she changes lenses. She doesn't put front or rear caps on, puts them in her shootsac and then changes by just ripping them off and chucking them in her bag. I would imagine she would get her sensor cleaned after every wedding for free anyway but still... And when she shoots, she presses the shutter and the whole camera tilts down. Either way her photos are fcuking amazing and i respect her alot!

Yes i'm looking at you Sidd asking for it off me already lol. It's 16GB.

Nice shots, Matt, but I'm thinking the same as Kory - that bridge shot looks "odd."

Oh Kory, have you taken your Photo5 shots yet? The first one is due this Sunday (17/10/10), and each submission is on the preceding days after that (18th, 19, 20th, and the open brief on the 21st).

Owen, even though you didn't get the Photo5 pack, you can still enter a submission for the last Brief...

Good work Serg. 4 and 5 are best. Not just cos its a 35 either :blush:

Nick, Kory, I think it looks off because the rock and reeds go straight up. So your head thinks half the pic is straight and other half isn't.

Some nice shots there Serg! Are you panning at around 1/100th? It looks like it. Maybe try and drop your shutter speed to 1/80th or 1/60th in a few shots because the backgrounds are so "busy" but besides that, loving them! Great shots, kinda jealous NSW doesn't have this stuff (That is close to me anyway).

Nick - I haven't even started on Photo5 yet lol. Will start on thursday :blush:

Matt - I think its because the bridge is angled with the "Hektik" angle and the foreground is kind of straight so your eyes play tricks on you.

Owen - Lucky it's not Sunny today!!!

Photo5

ah damn, forgot this was on again. would have been nice to enter and at least dream about wining a 5D, lol.

might have a go at brief 5 seeing as its an open brief. would be extremely funny if a Lumix took the winning photo :blush:

I varry shutter speeds a lot, anything from 1/40 to 1/250 ish, depends on situation, car speed, corner or straight, focal length, and how hung over I may be at the time...

Id love to lower it more in some shots but shooting at 200mm with a non is lens fully hand held makes it hard.

Normaly I would look for a place that doesnt have a bussy backgound but didnt have media access for Targa West so choice of spots was limited

Totally understand about the access part. Hard to get good shots from spectator POV's sometimes, but these turned out great and i wouldn't even know you were a spectator until you just told me :)

I shoot at 200mm or 500mm with the IS off when panning. I have had varied results with IS on when shooting below 1/100th because of the slight movement. I mostly shoot at 1/50th, though when IS is on, i get results that seem soft etc.. but i do the same thing (basically) and the results are fine with IS off.

The milliseconds it takes IS to kick in, i've already taken the shot, so i just turn it off now and get consistent results.

Have a play with it! Each to there own i suppose though.

    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
