Guess I'll save for a decent one then. Cheers, mate.

Eric, some good shots man!

With the auto focus, have you tried focus lock? With those kind of photos, set the focus point to, say, middle. Aim it at the item you're shooting so it locks on (dont frame it, just aim at that point), press the button half way, hold the button in that position and move to take the photo. It'll keep that focus, and save time manually focussing! Its a trick I use cos I'm half blind. Never too sure if its focussed right or not.

Yeah, I tried switching from Matrix to point. Problem was that a lot of the nature photos had Crocs behind a few leafs/twigs. I tried shooting a few shots with auto - all crap. Then went to manual and would take a few at slightly different focus - all looked ok through the view finder. Of course, generally all of them were a little off which is why I only posted some of the better shots on auto. I've still got a lot to learn :blush:

You'll get there mate. I've been shooting for just over 6 months now, and I've learn a lot in that time. Just listen to Sam, Sidd and Zennon and you'll be right.

Sam, awesome shot!

Well look who decided to show up... How's stuff over there sam? Nice pano's btw

Hello hello. so far so good! Getting used to a new town but heading off to Europe tomorrow for a month, then back to London to find some work..

Thought I better start adding to these monthly photo threads! So many awesome photos on here, very nice work. I really need to get some practice!

Nice shots mate, I like the graf one with the R33, would look even better without so many reflections in the car though. imho.

How long are you over there for, Sam?

Took these tonight. Not awesome, but definately a start. Technique I can work on:

Next time I might find somewhere with less lights. Or kick them out... Its the guetto anyway, it'd be normal to see people kicking lights :ermm:

Sam can start a 'many cans from different lands' thread :P I'd be up for that. Good to hear all is well dude!

My 50mm 1.8D arrived today. I'm busy packing/moving and I've been working off site for most of the week so no real time to play with it properly.

Here's the only shot i've tried so far. brenizer effect on the car just outside of the garage. Not so sharp as it was all hand held in very bad light. But the technical mumbo jumbo behind it worked well. SO expect something nice over the next week (if i get time :) )

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
