First one is my favourite. Focus seems a little off.. I'd suggest taking a small LED torch to help camera focus when shooting at night time

P.s. Those wheels rock!

Thanks a lot for the feedback mate - noted... It was a bit rushed. The other thing was I had the ISO setting up around 640+ on my D70 and there tends to be a fair bit of noise added up towards the higher ISOs, which I hate.

Ah yeah - I've got a D80 so know what you mean!! Another tip - If you have a tripod (like the reflection shows!) just fix the ISO to 100 or 200 and just do a longer exposure to make up for it. Also try using the timer (I do it all the time) so you're not touching the camera at all when it starts the shot :happy:

Cheers Zennon. The tripod's pretty obvious hey :) I'll usually leave it on 100 by default but for some reason had jacked it up about a week earlier and didn't put it back. Haven't quite got it down as a routine yet to check it before starting a shoot. I do use a remote to set the shutter off though. I've also been looking at possibly buying a newer Nikon with a larger screen, cos even though the D70 does everything I need it to, I find the small LCD is a massive hindrance to checking for focus, noise, etc before going back to the laptop.

my remote shutter/hold switch I bought on ebay for $5 incl postage was probably the best accessory I got for my D90. No shake, easy to use on tripod, lets me set up the camera and then stand away from it while taking pics... which is great when you don't want to startle animals etc. Awesome for macro photos.

As for ISO - yeah I did that once! Took photo's for an hour before I realised I had ISO on 3200 from some testing last time!!

As for screen for seeing OOF areas.. yeah you're never going to be able to buy one big enough I'm afraid - only way is to zoom in on the little screen three (or maybe 4) times and then check ;)

Yeah I've got one of those - use it for night time shooting but during the day I still find myself using the timer instead

Irfanview is good and free

Just open the photo in that and press Ctrl+R (for the resize/resample image dialog)

Then type in how many pixels you want the image to be wide e.g. 800 (leaving other settings as default) and press Enter

Then Ctrl+S to save :)

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
