FIRST!!!

Here are some photos i took during my NYE holiday.

It's a place i think i've posted up photos from before but i don't get to go too many cool places.

This shows the affect of a big wave coming through - you can see my 6'4 fiance and our mate who is just under 6 ft. Both got wiped out. The waves weren't HUGE but got to around 2-3 meters.

your car is surrounded by balls mattboy. good thing they are not touching :P sweet shot

I'm hoping for some rad fireworks shots in this month...

that 2nd one is awesome farris!

indeed, love that second one too.

heres an edit i did last night to try and fix some of the graff i shot. i wont go into detail, but it took a bit of work just to get a straight pano out of photoshop. the automated photomerge isnt perfect and sometimes needs you to do some legwork before it will work.

Happy New Years everyone. Just got back from my holidays.. time to get back into work :(

Swimming with sharks!!!! Atleast these sharks weren't interested in humans, but still pretty scary.

yo sidd, those shark pics have me paranoid. sharks have been spotted at my local beach the last couple of days. and not the friendly kind. :/

ive tried lighting this piece once before and failed at it. i was doing it by myself and it wasnt working so i just gave up on it. my cousin has been coming around and lending me her DSLR, time in assisting and a shitload of motivation. i gave this another try.

cheers guys! its been good getting a bit of motivation and a helping hand (plus the DSLR makes life a fair bit easier too)

Passive, the basic technique is to point the light at the wall and trace the parts of the piece you want to paint while trying to stop any stray light messing things up. its something im still learning and it can be pretty addictive. timing is the most important part to learn. too fast and you wont get nice colors, too slow and the colors get burnt out. keeping the lines straight is also a challenge as it gets hard to see when your looking at a bright spot on the wall where the lines go, lol.

this was done on the same night and as you can see that i didnt get such a smooth fill. ah well, cant win them all.

oh and the battery ran out before i had the chance to put a bit more ambient light on the floor of the drain, so i just cut it out lol.

Jay that still looks amazing! Incredible work.

Here are a few snaps I took while on holiday and showing the in-laws around.

(On the Pano's - big tip for anyone starting to stich images together is to ensure everything on the camera is in full manual mode. That way the settings don't adjust when you stich the frames together making them look different. Taken me a while to get confident enough on that.)

Jay would be awesome to see before and after pics of what you have done. Still trying to get my head around what you are actually doing.

Are you painting the art with different colour lights or just a normal light painting going over the whole image with just one light?

i tried recording a video of me in action but it was too dark and doesnt look like anything. pretty much match color for color and then use white to get back any colors that you dont have and to add some ambient light into the scene. that last part ive only just started doing.

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
