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...

Kerr34 - Great shots.. Would like to see more.. My only CC: i would have done these shots later on in the day..

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 certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
