Skyline Photo Shoot

Some may be aware, recently I just purchased a new camera (Sony DSC H5).

I'm no professional photographer but am learning quite quickly on how to use the camera.

Blow are just a few pics I took from my weekend outting with this camera.

I thought it may be a good idea to possibly get a heap of skylines together and actually get a photo shoot underway. The last organised cruise by Mud, Col & a few others took his cameras along and that was the last best group shoots taken of all the skylines.

We have a choice to have the photo's taken of a day time or night time.

If we are to have it of a night time, the lighting in and around the cars would need to be slightly lite up a bit (not overly done of course) with the back drop being well lite up such as the buildings of the CBD area.

This giving me the idea of having the photo's taken along the top of Kangaroo Point cliffs.

If the choice is of a day time, we would need a excellent back drop of something artistic such as hills, a dark storm coming towards us or even cliffs or the city, etc. Possibly even the graffity train carriages out at eagle farm in the old train yards (recently a photo shoot was taken of my car out there, hence I know of this location and have seen some of the photos and they've turned out excellent).

Would anyone be interested in getting this done? Of course, this thread is open to discussion on where we can do the photo shoot, when we should do it and after a bit of a discussion on this subject, we'll have a place and time organised.

I'm open to discussion and feedback.

Nice shots :( I was told once by a pro photographer the best time for night photography is just as it gets dark the sky goes a really dark blue for 10 minutes just before going black, if you look out for it you will notice what happens, I had never noticed it before he told me - although I have still never tried taking photos in those conditions, anyhow, this is only what I have been told - e.g use the info at your own discresion >_<

Clear Mountain is also good for day shots up top...

You can see all the way to the bay... I am wanting to get up there again soon with the camera to get some photos...

Victoria point is good for photos and i have shot there a few times. But its impossible to get the car and the city in the same shot...

Look at my avatar thats a shot from victoria point (minus the photoshop)

Nice work btw John, cameras are so much fun!!!

Just been up to Mt Cootha about an hour ago and took a few pics of the city (from where I was standing and zoomed in). If only I didnt leave my cable for the camera to the pc at work, I would upload them now.

but damm!!!! these photo's just lookin at them on the LCD screen on the camera look awesome. The photo's have actually turned out way better then I would expect.

Col...

Yeah, camera's are fun!!! Glad I've gone the distance with buyin a high qauility camera now and also the additional lenses and filters, etc. Just waitin on my Telephoto lens to arrive which shouldnt be to far away!

I'll post the pics up in the mornin when I get to work and connect the camera up to the work laptop, then upload the pics onto here to show :)

We have 4 cars in.

Both myself and Col will be doin the photography for this.

Anyone else in? Going to set a date and time for this within the next day or so.

Its open to everyone as suggested by col so we can grab a long line of skylines with their rear taillights lite up again like shown in mud's signature pic!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
