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 :P

Yeah common issue. Best way to avoid this IMO is get in the habit of zooming in on the view finder three or four times depending on the camera and then check what it looks like. You might have to take one photo you know is sharp using a tripod or something so you know how many times you can zoom in on a sharp photo before it doesn't look good any more.

Does that make any sense? lol

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

Thanks, Yeah I agree on the one with the graff, will attach the PCL next time to cut the reflections see how it comes out. Cheers

The birds head is soooo sharp, looks great Sidd... The colours are pretty blown on my moniter, the yellow and reds especially.

I think its just the feathers like that. Coz honestly i havnt done any editing to it, well apart from usual raw processing, like brightness, contract etc then change to jpeg.

Will look at the high-res file tonight and see hmmm.. Also i use a IPS panel monitor, and looks fine. Not to sure tho, will re-check. Cheers for that feedback.

Oh and used a macro lens for that shot lol and focused on the eyes only.

Two more:

Awesome macro shots, Sidd.

I've gotta ask, how close can you be to the subject to get a fully-filled frame and still be in focus, especially with a 180mm focal length? I've got a 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro, and sometimes feel as if I can't get enough detail while still making sure the frame's filled enough.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
