Sorry about the re-post but after reading some of the tips in the stickied section I adjusted my photos. I think they look much better. What do you guys think?

i rekon these two would be better on a sharper background. the cloth takes away from the sharp lines, esp in the shell

Thanks for the tip. What would you recommend for a sharp background? Something flat (i.e a wall) or something with lines and depth like in the Buddha photo?

Latest updates to project 365 have FINALLY been uploaded to my site! Would post them here, but would probably spam so quicker to just link it.

If you want, subscribe to my blog for weekly updates too it, don't blame you if you dont want to though haha.

Project 365

^ nice :(

If you own a tripod, then there is no need to go above iso 100 at night time (referring to long exposures).

Turn off in camera noise reduction (you dont need it).

thanks :D

yeah, both were taken on a tripod, top one was a 30sec exposure, bottom was 60 seconds I think, both ISO 100, but I don't think I turned noise reduction off.

Because it takes ages for the pic to load into memory card... Plus if you shoot at iso 100 there is no need.

Erm.. doesn't take ages to load into the memory card..

What it does is - Well what my D80 does anyway:

You take a 30 second photo

Then the camera takes another 30 second photo but with the shutter closed

(this results in a pure black image - except for the noise, hot pixels etc

then its quickly subtracts the two and saves that

(not the best explanation ever but yeah)

yea so you still gotta wait for a while to take the next shot.. Imagine if you doing a 10min exposure or something. I remember accidentally leaving it on when i first started doing star trails. Oh god that was painful waiting and waiting and waiting.. But now i just take 13 second exposures and combine an hours worth or so.. But thats a different story..

Anyways just my 2 cents..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
