Yeah GoldZilla I'm thinking the bottom one would have been best in that case

but actually - the main problem was probably just the long shutter speed...

also try turning on auto ISO maybe

reason i say this:

you were on aperture priority mode - and you had it open all the way - which is good.

but because you had the ISO fixed to 100 it means the camera has to leave the shutter open for so long

generally when using a tripod or shooting in bright light the lower the ISO the less noise you have in a shot

BUT no use having ISO so low that you get blur

:thumbsup:

aperture - how big the lens is open

shutter speed - how long the shutter stays open

ISO - how sensitive the sensor is

ps you can take awesome shots using auto/program modes :P

Zennon - nice pics dude :( I like the star trails.. I miss doing them..

Passive - Just thought i let you know that you dont need a tripod to take pics of the moon. Off-course if you have a telescope its going to be hard to hand held it, but for a lens up to say 200mm is just fine hand held. Also i see your exposure is 1 second; hense why its blury. The moon is the brightest thing in our sky at night so there really isnt a need for long exposure.

Here is a photo hand held at 200mm and shutter speed at 1/250th of a second from memory.

I understand you need a zoom lens to see this much detail, but just thought i let you know that if you taking a pic of just the moon then you dont need such a long exposure and hand held is do-able.

Love the penguin photo!! Got any more?

Yeah originally we had a crazy long exposure because, to be honest, i'd only JUST figured out how to set it. We started off with photos that looked like the day time. But the one i posted had the kind of affect i wanted, the moon really wasnt that bright at the time :P

Though we tried to get rid of the extreme glow, it'd either be too bright or too dark.

I was trying to do something like this guy has. Under tip #4 -planning and patience

Ps i just had a look at that moon photo that i posted and it looked so much better on my lappy

it looks REALLY crap on my work monitor... :thumbsup:

wow, some great phots here guys. sl!m, those laneways look teriffic!

had two 580exII's fired from pocket wizards. just trying to experiment where to put the lights to get certain effects and light the subject certain ways. the duck just wandered over to us so i just pointed one flash down and took a pic lol. i found it a bit hard using the 70-200 but my 24-70 rocks up this week so i hope to get out and do some more experimenting

self portrait. trying out stuff with the flash again. this time going into manual mode and setting things myself.

16-35 f2.8 @35mm F4 about 15cm from my face.

580exII with a 1/2 CTO Gel set at 1/32 @105mm - this was placed a slightly left of the camera and back another 10cm shooting straight at me (no diffuser or umbrella)

i think next time id probably shoot at about f8 to bring more detail to the entire face. but im happy for my first self portrait!

oh and a randomly snapped one of my dog Jack. just had held the flash and camera to see what i could get! still using the CTO gel

How much was the new flash?

I wish i had time to screw around with my camera :banana:

The only photos i ever post are ones from holidays etc, not just seeing what its capable of...then again, i might be getting a new LENS for christmas...so i'll prob play with that a lot.

The top pic is cool (A31cefiro)

the power lines (IMO) ruin the bottom one

I took these late on Saturday night, so it was right at the end of October...

I made myself a little photo "studio" with two pieces of wood that were covered in some dodgy white vinyl, and used two sheets of A4 paper to make the join more seamless. I think I'll need to replace this with some thin white A3 cardboard instead.

Anyway, here are the photos I took:

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
