I took these the other night:

I love how in these two shots, the ash floating up into the air is leaving "trails" of light.

In this one, I've highlighted the area where there was water boiling from within the logs. The firewood that was bought was wet, unfortunately, so even though it did make the fire pretty smoky at times, it did give me a chance to capture this shot of the heat forcing the water to evaporate.

In this last one, a cardboard tube was placed in the fire, and it made a chimney effect for a while until it caught on fire too.

Holy SHitballs! Everyone has been busy busy! All good too!

Nick, where's my invite? You can't burn shit and not me around to throw random objects in the fire :D

Nice and clean Zennon. So you used a GD to get the gradient, or was that post shot magic?

I took some pics today, and not of cars ! AMAZING! Here's a couple until i can be bothered to throw some more up.

^ Last shot is good matt. Lighting seems much better and composition is great :)

Rhys - Do you think the first two shots would better if you took them at sunrise or sunset? Just a suggestion. It gives another mood. Or when there is a bit of colour in the clouds.

So im the process of setting up a studio. There is a lot to clean, but slowly getting there.

The backdrop is out only half way. I still got a few more meters in front.

I need to find a better way of taking the backdrop in and out. Right now its just on light stands. Will go into bunnings tomorrow and see if they got a automatic thingy.. Or a chain to pull the backdrop down and up.

some more pics:

Nah don't have any grad filters so added the grad in PP

the water in foreground was an ugly brown (it is the Brisbane river after all :P) so it worked out well

I'm not one of those crazy purist types so I doubt i'd ever bother getting an actual real grad filter

since its so easy to do in PP

Nice work Sidd. I'd really like to set up a room in the house as a studio eventually when it's all built. Not sure if it will actually happen, but it's on the list :P

The top and bottom pic was taken with proper lighting. The rest were taken with a pair of speedlights. It was my first time shooting people. Much more complicated than cars :) hahaha

You can buy Alien Bee's from AB's australian distributor.

Alien Bees Website

All of his stuff cost about $2K. Mine cost $1700, the only things different Sidd bought was a Beauty Dish and Light stand.

It's good stuff! About damn time he bought them! Been waiting almost a year for it! :rolleyes:

Lepper, I'm not sure what that means but I'll say... Thanks? I think.

Sidd, they're not the most interesting photos. I'll try put some colour into the clouds with PS tonight, see how we go. Might go back after work one night and try again at sunset. Thanks for the advice :rolleyes:

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
