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.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
