yeah EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM. Only got it two days ago so those were the first couple shots I took with it.

Lovely shots slim!!

hmm i would have thought with that lens the pics would have been much sharper? Or is it just my screen?

that would be me being superduper shakey.. wasnt using a tripod so you can imagine focusing that close has a lot of shake, and the stabaliser can only do so much..

if I get any time this weekend I will take it out with a tripod and play around.

Absolutely fantastic shots. What settings did you use for the second one down? Looks great! :P

Thanks mate,

I set the ISO at 100. And the shutter speed to 6.8 (I think thats what the shutter speed was). Im still getting used to the camera, just a Fuji Finepix S5800

I was lucky enough to get it at a bit of a steal, 400 directly from canon, once in a life time. lol.. I was just about to spend the same amount on cheaper macro lens at a shop, so luckily I didnt.

Just another from one my group the other day.

I just cant wait for summer to get some more colour. Of course to get some more bugs out there as well hahah...

Another contribution :D Unedited again, I dont have any programs to do anything so thats how it came off the camera. thats why its not totally straight etc. Was standing on a pile of dirt in an industrial estate. Shakey footing!

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
