would have jumped at that job when I left Uni many moons ago, Penguin are a bit of an institution in the design community... but yeah publishing doesn't pay so well for GD...

I'm lucky in that I work for a studio that does a bit of everything... and my boss doesn't mind me taking on my own clients etc

this is true, some of the designers talk about their salaries n stuff while I'm sittin with them at lunch and it's wierd that they get paid crap money compared to other companies. good thing about web dev is that we got to tell HR how much we want to be paid :blink:

cheers. its getting harder each day though as ive shot so much of the city that finding new things to focus on is becoming a challenge.

Time to move to a bigger city, Jay?

yeah good abstract with lines and shapes jay. they're all interesting and well composed.

how did ur canon shot turn out nick? is it a winner? Is it Egg-cellent? :devil:

Agreed with Matt on this.

It turned out okay Matt, was harder to set up than I'd hoped and I didn't achieve quite exactly what I'd planned in my head, but I'm pretty happy with it. It was certainly a learning Eggsperience! :blink: I hope it's a winner - maybe 10% of all the shots submitted are actually well thought out, in my view. Most are pretty ordinary, with little or no imagination behind them.

Here's mine: http://www.canon.com.au/weekendtoday/entri...spx?imageID=498

barra... our kids would have wanted to keep it as a pet, lol.

tried using slower shutter speeds today. some worked ok(ish) other need a few refinements.

since the poor lumix broke (lens cover stopped opening and closing properly) ive been running the G11 as my regular sidekick point and shooter. i still use it on auto a lot, but have been using shutter/aperture priority a bit. the built in ND filter is awesome for slowing things down a bit further. hoping its fair quiet tomorrow so I can do more experimenting with it, get more of a feel for it.

going to give this another try and actually take a bit more care with the composition, lol.

i reckon in a few days i wont want to go back to using the Lumix. its kinda sad tho, I did love that little thing, haha.

nice shots jay.

thats awesome nick. better than someone just dropping an egg or something.

Agreed, nice shots Jay.

Thanks dude. Like I said, I wanted to show that I'd put some imagination into the composition.

That looks great, Matt - good shot of that car!

Barra - I would sh!t myself if i saw that. First thing i would do is turn the BBQ on and light that fcuker up. Snakes scare the fcuk out of me. Theres brown snakes around my area as its surrounded by bush that surrounds Manly Dam. A few dogs have died over the years being bitten by snakes on some of the tracks. If my dog got bitten i would go straight after the snake no hesitation and beat its head with my foot a million times over! Besides that, i'd run away like a 10yr old girl.

Jay - Love those slow shutter shots! Something about them i really like. I've always wanted to do one in Sydney's CBD at peak hour but have one person stand still and everyone walk around her waiting at the traffic lights.

Matt - Sweet shot! As Sidd said, the windscreen reflections are my only nag, but nothing major. Sweet job!

One from me.

haha... promise ya bud, if it was a Brown:

1) it would be dead. bagged and released that fella... carpet pythons are harmless to humans.

2) i woulda been taking pics with my zoom lens from the fence line, not the 35mm.

where was this man?

Burswood in Perth, they striped it and put it together there and started it up several times. It's part of the festival of speed we have going on here now where Mark Webber will go time attack style in the car at Barbagallo, both long and short track :happy:

    • Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.
    • It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...
    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
