Nice work ian :D

I think with the tight headshots - it needs more fill and esp fill under the chin and nose. Guess you were just using normal flashes than strobes (so understandable). Just something i learnt from another photographer to do.

With the 3rd last shot the focus is on her nose rather than the eyes. Maybe you were going for that, but im not to sure. Just thought i mention it.

1st shot is great!!

Here's one I took last night (unedited) - I was taking shots of a small fire my cousin had built on his makeshift verandah, and the unexpected extended shutter opening made kind of a "wave"effect with the fire...

Here's another one where the fire was burning through the middle of a termite-infested log - the camera didn't quite capture the blue flames that we could see, but meh...

I had the dslr out on the weekend when i was out for a ride in the leaves here in Ottawa, Ontario. Canada. Nothing special, just my Stinky with some mods. I've only had my 450D for a few weeks now and haven't really experimented with it too much. Any tips or criticism is welcome!

First of all Kyle - cool bike!

Secondly - as for tips/criticism - I'm no pro so don't take this too heart but IMO:

1st one is a bit under exposed/dark, and plant in foreground is a little distracting

I like the 2nd one!

bottom three pics: colours are a bit too intense I think

5th one: whats the smudge? rain drop on lens?

like the pano

here is a hint for anyone doing panoramas,

shoot it portrait instead of landscape, you have more room for error (top and bottom), plus you get a larger picture size once you stitch them all up........

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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.
