Peta, K10-100 cameras, as most, only go 30secs.....you need to buy a corded remote..($10 off eblah) that way on 'Bulb' you lock the lens open...*just ,make sure you have full batteries*

also make sure you set for white balance...ie fluro and sulpher lights change the overall colour in the pic!!

recent night shots....

oh..got some great shots there Xmetal!!!!!!

oh oh...Siddr - sthrn polaris is 32degress above dead south!! (and the stars that look like continuous dots is either clouds moving fast and covering the stars OR if its windy, could be slight camera shake.)

Very nice photos dogsum esp the stair trails.

Quick question: What lens did you use?

Here is my 2nd attempt at it :)

Much better attempt than my first one i must say!!

Todays attempt was just to get the settings right etc. Not many bright stars out tonight.. But thought i give it a try before the clouds kicked in!!

No editing, just resized and sharpened.

nice one sid - but you should have something in the foreground to focus on, the stars will always look the same, but you need something in the foreground also...even if its just your house or a tree (use some gels on the tree to colour it or change the WB to make any flouros change it to blue!!)

like this (from my backyard one boring night)

The reason i didnt focus on the house last night was because there were no stairs over the top of it.

Also it was a little windy last night so the trees were moving.. so i thought it would be all blury if i was focusing on the tree?? right??

But last night was just a test.. cool cheers will try it again!! btw I like your shot!!

Also i didnt understand this bit: use some gels on the tree to colour it or change the WB to make any flouros change it to blue!!

Btw what lens are you using?

Awesome photos.

Just bought myself a Nikon D90 as I have always wanted to enter the world of DSLR got bored of the stock digicams. Cant wait till I get to the same level of quality you guys are at.

I have the kit lens 18-55mm so that should keep me busy for a while. Will be buying a fast prime lens today so that should keep me even busier.

Dont you hate it when the clouds come :)

So glad i went to check up on it outside, otherwise would have wasted my effort.

It was perfect clear skies and then 10mins later BAM clouds come out of know where lol

No editing.. straight out of the camera

Also do note this was the only direction i could see stars lol.. behind me was the moon with nothing around it..

I split it up into two pics..

Star trails are always such a cool thing to do however for those of you living in the city it can be difficult as you've got lots of ambient light given off from the surrounding buildings and other crap. Best bet would be to pick a good clear night and make a trip out towards Lithgow and shoot in the mountains. :bunny:

I've done star trails before with good results - the trick is finding the celestial south pole and aiming from there. :(

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
