Matt - that r34 pic looks awesome. So what new stuff did you try??

Nelson - like that 2nd shot. Nicely done.

Very busy weekend.

Random teaser pic from yesterdays wedding - Location shots at night time: Don't always assume you will get 1-2 hours worth of sun light!!

All I need now is to purchase three more strobes, so I can easily blow out the background. Was just using 430exii and 580exii..

oh well always a next time.

she's hot. when we can milk her? :P Is that your roll out studio?

New stuff: Made a new 'Mattfrotto' light source to do the car with. Also I've been doing homework on colour theory.

Also, playing with grittier, darker images. I usually work hard to get everything clean/crisp/commercial. Need to break it up and mix it up a bit i think.

Nice, like the sound of that! I remember you posting a 'noisy' photo the other day. It was a sweet start :)

Fongy - Pretty sweet PP mate

Sidd - wholy crap, that is an awesome photo of the bride mate. Top job :)

Ah sweet.. Look forward to seeing more of those types of pics. Keep it up :)

Thanks Jay and Richie.. Much appreciated it.

Agree with matt said about jays pic. Your best yet I reckon. Love it :)

yeah, basically just hold the LED near the wall and move the light smoothly. doesnt always work perfect tho (top of the right ear on brain and the mountain behind him) but thats part of the fun. that and the night missions seeing awesome art on walls. its also not just the outlines but some of the fill/highlights also (just not in the above one as that piece was across from a brightly lit bikeway so i had to try and battle ambient light and the shadows it causes, so the fill didnt come out bright enough)

Looking good buddy! you need to show some of the original artists your work, they'd love it for sure! Puts a new light on their work.... get it? Oh I'm so funny.

anyway I took this last night. Been hanging to shoot something and my car was only a little bit dirty. It was good to crack out the strobes :) its been a while.

What length of time you open up for? I think the ambient light from street lights and stray light from the LED's cause me issues... with shadows created of my legs and such.

Do you ninja up in all black to reflect the least amount of light?! :woot:

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
