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???

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
