Hi Everyone,

My cousin is getting married this year in Florida and they want me to take photos for them.. it's a small ceremony and nothing over the top so they don't want to spend a lot of money so I said i'd be happy to do it.

I've never really taken photos of people so don't really know what to use.. so was hoping I could get some ideas from people here...

I am thinking I will probably need an external flash and a diffuser.. what about filters and stuff and what settings are best for indoors etc?

any info would be helpful :cheers:

You'll want a fast lens to start with. I have a few that I use for that sort of stuff. Canon EF 135 f/2L - EF 24-70 f/2.8L - 70-200 f/2.8L etc.. If you want to bounce flash check out the gary fong lightsphere clear and cloud diffusers.. They look really good. I haven't used one yet, but I will each of those 2 I reckon.. www.garyfong.com

using a diffuser outdoors is a good way to flatten your flash batteries, and overheat your flash (they are great indoors though)

outside, just point the flash straight at them dialed down 1/3 - 1 stop just to fill the shadows

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
