Went out to with my mates VP SS for a shoot last night. Found an old abandoned petrol station full of grafiti and random stuff, so we had fun checking it out. Although we got the attention of the lady who lives behind it, then the cops turned up... But no dramas, thankfully.

There are more in my FB. Grabbed this one from inside the workshop, love how it turned out! Not bad considering it was completely pitch black ;) But of course we didnt go inside officer... :P

ended up buying an olympus e-pl1 for $360. the lens i want tho is around $800 grey import (panasonic 8mm fisheye. half the weight of the olympus fisheye and doesnt need a 4/3 to micro 4/3 adapter saving $300). will be worth it for the higher quality of the pics once i have saved up enough. time to start trying to get permission to take shots from the higher profile buildings, not sure how that will go. have a feeling it will involve spending more money on roof access type safety courses tho, lol. would be worth it, would love to specialize in photography from high places. something about being high that fascinates me, im scared of heights, but am too addicted to give it up, lol.

either that or i need to road trip to other cities for some rooftopping missions, lol

and your right about that shot, i left it a bit late to get up there, i need to finish up half hour earlier and be up there ready. would also like to bracket it next time and do a night HDR so all elements are exposed properly. that burnt out statue irks me, lol.

Ah nice! So the E-PL1 is body only atm?

Ah nice! So the E-PL1 is body only atm?

nah, it came with a 14-40mm. they are all going out cheap as the e-pl3 has been announced.

i still havent really taken it out and used it, i prefer the flip out screen on the G11.

only bought it for higher quality fisheye photos anyway, so probably wont get used till i have the lens for it.

loving your light painting shots RM, keep it up!

so many cool pics in this thread so far this month.

lol, I actually quite like this photo of me.

probably cause I cant see my face, haha.

also love how the three buildings behind me just seem to melt into the sunset, lol

you should be a rep for gopro!!!

if they send me out a full HD cam with the LCD backpack i'd promote the shit out of them, haha.

but check out GoPro Photos on facebook, some seriously epic shots can be taken with such a simple little setup.

Been a while since I've posted, or even really had a proper browse. I've been damn busy getting these rig shots out and getting the new site up and running.

www.autocult.net

have a look, got any thoughts of feedback, I'm happy to hear it? I even made a facebook for it haha, go like us!

nice shot J. that's your best face yet ;P

that's not football :P

A few more rig shots...

Just got my new Tamron 28-75 f2.8. First attempt at some nightscapes. Deliberately used a large aperture to try and avoid 'star trails' as I was going for 'as if you were there' kind of look.

damn half you guys for using hosts i can't see while at work! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (mainly at work)

had another shot get explored on flickr :)

this one.

and these are the last 3 from the group rig shots.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
