Noise shows up well before 3200. Around ISO 800 on most cameras. It depends on what you shoot with (camera, nothing to do with lenses). The only thing lenses come into is that you can shoot at 1.2/1.4 etc.. in low light so that your shutter speed can be upped or your ISO dropped. This doesn't always help out THAT much but it helps.

true... I havn't done alot of low light stuff with my d700 using no flash. I did find the iso does start to show up in that type of lighting situation at iso 800 onwards but in saying that its only evident when viewing the image at 100%. The good thing is you can play with the noise reduction in post process and reduce it a bit.. :) I'm still learning more about my camera everyday which is good now I just need to focus on a particular type of photography and get good at it...

Jay, I agree with everyone else about the HDR's - they look really natural! Some people really over-do them, and I don't really like that style much myself. Sometimes it works, but it has to be used in the right context. I could barely call myself an amateur, but I know what I like...

Here's a vid my friend posted up on FB, it's good for a laugh:

When someone asks me why do you want to be a wedding photographer, I simply say its because I get to experience the different cultures, their customs, the ability to capture and document the special day as well as learn and share what I experience on the day with others. This to me is what wedding photography should be all about. When Jessica contacted me a few months back I was so excited to photograph her wedding. It was my first time photographing a South Indian wedding and through it, I have realised how different it is to a North Indian Wedding.

Jessica and Subra's wedding was conducted in Sanskrit which is the oldest surviving language in the Indo-European family of languages. The wedding ceremony is called 'Vivaaham' which means to support and sustain. This ceremony is to create a spiritual union to support and sustain a man and a woman in their pursuit of dharma (righteousness) through their married life.

The wedding day consisted of a pre wedding ceremony and the marriage ceremony. The sample pics below are from the pre-wedding ceremony. It consisted off three parts which can be seen below.

Not sure how many I can post, but lots more on my blog: http://sidd-rishi.com.au/blog/2/jessica-and-subras-wedding-part-1/

1. Kasi Yathirai (Pilgrimage to Holy Kasi):

The young bachelor, Subra is on his way to Kasi to lead an ascetic life. Jessica's father intervenes and advises him of the superiority of married life to ascetic life and asks him to take Jessica as a companion for life.

2. Exchange of Garlands:

3 Oonjal (The swing):

Aunties sing songs and offer and milk to the couple who are seated on the swing. While the couple is seated, the aunties throw coloured balls of rice over their heads to ensure good luck. The swinging motion represents the ups-and-downs of life in which the couple move in harmony, steady and stable throughout.

love their natural smiles here..

The pics posted above are just a few from the day. Lots more on my blog.

Hope you have learnt something new. This to me is why I love photographing weddings and sharing these things with you all.

Thanks for your time.

^ ^ ^ Lovely Pics!

Is there a knock-on effect into Boudoir Photography?

Or is it a domain of middle-aged women wanting to maintain a youthful look?

What are the demographics that prompt a request for Boudoir Pics?

Cheers all.. Hoping to get part 2 up on the blog soon.

Terry - Well havnt had any requests from wedding clients as such for those types of pics, but would love to do it one day (tastefull stuff that is). Im sure there is a big market out there for it. Whats the reason you ask?

I've had shy women clients who need to be able to express themselves more, so I've recommended dance, amateur acting, and a few others as forms of the arts.

They come quite often with a low opinion of themselves and their bodies Sid.

I'm just surmising.

Remarkable, Matt :thumbsup:

Have you recommened to get that type of photography done? Wouldnt they feel even more uncomfortable?

I used a few flashes to light the walls. use half power so you don't over power the light on the car.

thanks guys.

Sidd, the night went ok, i was planning on using the large octo to speed things up but i forgot the cover/defuser ;/ so had to do it with all with my 40x60 softbox.

Everyone was happy, got some good shots. Everyone enjoyed chilling out with a few beers/pizza and talking crap. was a good night out. pretty busy though working on 5 at once :P

Nice shots fagboy! Turned out nice! Those XT9's are fcuking pr0n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have another softbox besides your little mini one? Because i donno if you realize, but a 40x60 softbox is fcuking massive. Bigger than my octo. If you mean your little mini one its like 12x24". Unless i'm talking about something else? OH SNAP.

Would be friggin epic to paint with though!! Although would need about 4 of my lights for it.

Did you end up using my light?

Sidd - Fantastic wedding shots as always. Can't believe how hairy that guys chest is :O:O

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
