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

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:

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
