Here's a few shots from the All Holden Show at Richmond today. Damn there was an abundance of awesomeness in vehicle form. So many high quality cars. Exceeded my expectations for the day about 30 fold.

Nice classic cars there :) I like the first shot.

From today's photo-shoot:

This was a pre-pre-wedding shoot. I offered a quick studio shoot for this lovely couple for free. They had a little kid that just wouldn't sit still and everything he picked up he would throw it around.. but the kid is soooooooooooooooooooooo CUTE!!! Honestly cant wait to shoot their wedding and do the actual pre-wedding shoot later on next month.

Im going to try and offer a studio shoot into my wedding packages. Hopefully there will be a bit of interest in that.

You will notice the backdrop is not all the way out under the chair. Seriously the kid wouldn't sit still, he would move the chair, throw things etc.. so wasn't worth getting my backdrop teared apart. I also had a fancy chair all setup, but he wouldnt sit on it :domokun: So resulted to my shitty chair (atleast it was comfy). Had fair few ideas i wanted to try, but couldnt :) Oh wells..

Nice Sidd!! Kid sounds like a handfull!! The mum is hawt!! Last pic is great, just the top of the backdrop is bugging, other then that, sick!! :-)

I only realised it after a few shots, and then raised the backdrop higher (but then i didnt re-take the group shots).. The dad is seriously tall tho.. Never had to raise the backdrop that high.. im 6ft and he was still taller than me lol..

Cheers man :)

so keen for your thoughts...

remote triggers... whats the best bang for buck radio/wireless/whtever trigger? Cactus V2 has been suggested as a good value device, not as reliable as a Pocket Wizard (tho they dont support nikon right now - from what I read on their site its mostly Canon).

I'm looking to use my SB600 (possibly 2) for off camera flash...

I just bought some 'iShoot' el cheapy ones from ebay for 30 or 40 bucks. I wouldn't want to trust them for an action shot or when you're doing mission critical work, but for taking pics of cars, or mucking around with repeatable stuff I'd say they're good enough to get you started. These ones work on nikon. I'm pretty sure the cactus would work as a trigger, they might not relay all the extra info, but as for a trigger... it's only a contact closure.

AHHAHAHAH yes what a lucky kid :)

I will be photographing their wedding in Oct, so be sure to check out the pics at the end of the month. Cant wait for that.

Thanks for the comments guys :D It was super fun shooting them..

In regards to triggers, the cactus v4s will suit your needs well. It has never failed on me. I use it all all the time on the 580exII and also my Alien Bee strobes. Not once as it failed!! BUY IT :)

The mum is hawt!! :-)
You need to take some 'extra' shots.. she's hot as!

Totally agree!

haha... yeah its so unfair kids get away with free gropes!

Yeah, the little turds... :bunny:

Hmm, I bought a Sigma flash and it can trigger off the on-camera flash too (even on my Ricoh P&S). It's the Sigma EF-530 DG Super, and I bought a second one from DigitalRev.com because they're really well priced there, and it arrived from HK in 3 days. All I need to do is put it in "Slave"mode. Can't you do that with the 580EX-IIs and others? Isn't that good enough for most people's needs, or am I missing something extra that the PocketWizards and others do???

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
