ooh

when did you get some alienbees?

thats really well done sidd

every time i try to use one light like that, i always f**k it up and put it off to an angle too much and create a huge shadow on one side of their face LOL

Had it for a week and a bit now. Been meaning to buy them for more than a year.

I still havnt received half my gear yet (PLM, softbox etc). So that picture was with jsut a white umbrella. Then my stuipd cactus v4s didnt work for a bit, so couldnt use the other light. So in the end i used just one light source for 90% of the pics. But then the internal slave should have kicked in on the alien bees, but it didnt. Maybe im doing something wrong.

Anyways im in the process of building up a studio:

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

Nice work guys. Been sitting in a few model shoots my mates has been doing, it's pretty interesting work!

Its hard work tho. Apart from lighting, you gotta make sure the makeup, the outfits, the location is all correct. Then gotta make sure the model can pose and interact with the camera propely.

But very rewarding when you get everything right in the end.

lol YES!

there is nothing worse than awkward models and bad makeup :)

is that the actual alienbees beauty dish? or did you make that yourself?

yea who knows.. I have always used a 22 inch, even when i hired out a studio.

This was from a 22 inch: http://www.sidd-rishi.com.au/images/200910...esizeupload.jpg

lol, i love how you say that with such confidence

That's because i know ;)

Well Elinchrom - 17" or 27".

Alien Bee - 22" -

Speedotron - 22" -

Kacey Enterprises - 22" -

Profoto - 20.5" - Barely anyone you meet will be using profoto unless you meet pro's (way to exxy!)

Thats about all i can remember off the top of my head.

    • 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?
