Alright, I took some of these shots waaaaay back in May the night before our guests from Albuquerque, New Mexico headed home. The Festival of Lights was on here in Sydney, so it was a good opportunity to experiment with my little Ricoh Caplio R4 and decided if I should really step up, bite the bullet and get that Canon D-SLR I'd been considering for ages...

These shots have had very little post-prod work done on them, and at that only using the tools in MS Live Gallery. I've only just got my hands on a copy of PhotoShop CS3 and am (very slowly) learning to use that.

This one should have been reset so the horizon was level, but meh...

As mentioned, all these shots were done on my little Ricoh using a small Joby "Gorillapod" tripod and long exposures. I was really happy with the results, so on the way home from the airport after dropping off our guests I snapped up a twin-IS kit Canon 450D.

ok first shoot with my d5000 hope you like =] any constructive criticism greatly appreciated also

Awesome shots man, they look great. :rant:

Great shots, Roy, but I've gotta ask: WTF is that in the background of this picture, behind the building? It looks like a cross between mountain ranges and a too-close-for-comfort moon...

Roy - Mate im so jealous.. I miss Austria so much.. Such a beautiful country!! I was there in winter so the scenery was totally different. Wonderful images and i would love to see more.

17-40mm + EOS 350D :banana:

There's nothing in it when it comes to zoom length and wide angle between the 17-40mm and 18-55mm however it focuses much faster, is much sharper and just feels nicer in general.

16-35mm Vs. 17-40mm - is it really worth the extra coin for 1 stop?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
