I've always loved my Macro.

Still have my original (circa 1974) Rokkor lenses.

For digital photography I believe they only fit a Sony body atm.

You guys are welcome to have a loan (as you'd need an adapter)!

Also have Rokkor 16mm,28mm & 200mm with impressive focal lengths.

Looks good :)

I want a Macro lense, but don't think I'd use it nearly enough to justify it. Would be great to have but :)

Yeah same, I don't think I would use a proper macro lens anywhere near enough. I've been happy with the results from my EF-S 55-250mm though, it can work pretty well for some close up shots. Heres another of those birds i put up on the last page, they came back to visit again today haha

I can't get over how intelligent parakeets & parrots are!

Great picture BTW.

I had alot of fun with my camera at F1 this year, doing some tracking shots at low shutter speeds to get some motion in the photos. Its just to hard with fences and roof posts and crap everywhere, but started getting the hang of it. The speed of the F1 cars doesnt help either lol

Finished more photos from F1, Theres a few of them and they are pretty repetative (but what can you do from the same grand stand every day), so sorry in advance :)

Nice, if only that fence wasn't there!

Thanks :)

Yeah, the ones near me aren't too afraid of people either, as long as you don't move too fast or make much noise. Makes for some decent photo ops if the camera is nearby lol

Absolutely!

One of my patients was a curator of a NZ Zoo.

When I asked him about their penchant for rubber windscreen wipers, he told me that when they're really bored they'll go for tyre walls too!

Arguably the most intelligent of all parrots!

Our little fellah...

* loves car rides

* on night drives, he can tell when we're 3 turns from home > chirps

* on night drives, he chirps when the lights go green

* he goes back to his cage on day drives as we pull into the driveway

* has a large vocabulary

* whistles when I come in the front door

* wolf whistles when on top of the shower screen and the naked person enters the shower

* toilet trained before coming out

* goes to the toaster when he wants "toasty toast"

etc.....

Very nice :)

Id still really love to get some nice lightning shots like that but it never storms here lol

Do you mind if I ask what program you used to process those photos?

I process my RAW files with Silkypix and then they are finished in Photoshop. Not much is done to them. The lightning photos only have white balance correction. The landscapes I have just adjusted the histogram curve with luminosity masks. Also some dodge and burn.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
