Rad bike. Similar to mine. Used to race BMX for like 11ty years and riding a bike with different geometry just feels gay. I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow if i remember.

Anyhoo... here's a shot from texi waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. Someone here might recognise the car... this was taken before Me and Kory had 5 minutes with it in a carpark... all alone.

Love that shot, not sure why. Wish the DOF wasnt so shallow though, would be have been nice to get the mirror in focus.

Its my desktop picture atm. Everytime I see it I just stare at it for a while before doing anything :whistling:

I like that shot too, it works well (even though I'm not as much of a fan of R33s as I am of the other chassis).

With the DoF, you'll obviously have to shoot with a smaller aperture to get the mirror in focus too, maybe between around f/5.6 and f/8? That should still leave the car in the background with a nice bokeh effect.

The areas covered around the headlight/parker and the blinker and spotty are super-sharp, which is nice!

ooh nice - i got my first 29er the other day - loving it!! :(

ive been keen to try a 29r. thing that im worried about is tyre selection. well that and the fact i cant afford one anyway, haha.

mines just a regular 26" with 26x2.5 tyres. probably a bit too fat, but they were free and so nice skids so i'll run them till they wear out which by the look of them will be a long time, haha.

couple of pics from today...

Finally got a decent panning shot of a messenger with this Lumix. Kinda hard as im used to AF-C that focuses as you pan, so I had to guess where he would be riding and pre-focus there and hope for the best, lol.

great way to finish of a hard days work

Nick, I was using f1.8 cos I love the effect of the 50mm. I'll try lifting it up a bit and seeing how it goes.

LOL, I don't blame you - the bokeh with this lens wide open is great! I can't believe it costs less than $130. :):D

Agreed. i got my nifty fifty from ebay for $140 a while ago. Perfect for people and detail shots. so sharp and clean. DOF is mad. I was playing aruond with it last night in Nicks car as we were driving along. I'll post one up tonight.

For cars a 35mm 1.8 would be better, but the 50 is ok. just need to get back a distance if you're trying to get it all in frame.

    • 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
