your probably right about the spacing, I usually type it in when i'm done a pic, and i'm very lazy/stooopid.

I haven't changed the sky though.... haven't touched any of those pics since they've been up. strange.

So i have been working on a bit of a project lately with someone who has interest in Aboriginal art. He has got the dialysis machine hand painted from some very talented aboriginal artists.

I took on this project, as i got a great interest in seeing beautiful art, and also my thesis at uni last year, involved working in the medical field.

Two sample pics for now. Still lots to go thru and edit.

But amazing art work i must say!!

Lighting wise: - two b800s, one bare bulb and one in large octa box. Backdrop was a black fabric supplied by the client. He wanted a black backdrop so we used this colour.

For the next shoot/project i want to put a glass underneath do get some reflections. So work on that next time. Its hard to move such big machines, so getting it into a proper studio will be hard and a lot of work. So i worked on location with limited space and items. Thank-god they got rid of the insides of the machine, otherwise it would have been seriously heavy moving it around.

A shot from yesterdays wedding:

- I tested the 50L for a bit to see how it compares with the 1.4 version i got and i must say im very impressed. When this lens locks in it locks in!!!

- The below shot is of the bride walking past me inside the temple. Manual focus points chosen as always and i focused on her eyes. I hate the 5dm2 focus points. ITS SO SHIT!!!! damn you canon!!! The only thing i hate about the 5dm2.

Anyways here is the pic im proud off.. Well got a thousand or so pics to process.. fun fun fun..

Visited the Cruise for Charity on the weekend, mainly a commodore event put on 'Street Commodores'. Was a really well organised event. had a dyno and an area for photo shoots under profoto gear, had a bunch of stalls and some other stuff. here's a few pics.

Agreed, that 3rd one is a wicked angle! Awesome back drop as well. The bogan inside me wants to check out the Cruise for Charity sometime! Also wants me to get a VK, but I'll try and subpress that one for the time being :)

Hopefully I can get my laptop back soon so I can chuck some more pictures up here.

hey hey.

that cyber shot is probably my favorite from the day too.

I used a remote flash which was to camera right, sitting on the ground about 4 metres from the car centred and pointing straight at the back.

Here's some more.

This was one of the hottest commonwhores i've seen in a while. I like the angle on this one too. shame about all the distractions and boot.

Sweet photos matt :) Keep it up!

I got some photos to post later tonight hopefully when my stupid web server gets back up after maintenance.

BTW - With your watermark do the following MUCH easier!

In photoshop:

File -> New -> Transparent background

Type out your watermark exactly how you want it.

Flatten image (MUST DO! to create a "Layer 0". If it doesn,t just double click the "background" layer so its not locked)

Save as -> PNG.

Then open it in photoshop, draw a marquee around it.

Copy it.

Minimize it.

Paste onto photos as you go along! Use the free transform tool (i set mine to 40% Width and Height) then the move tool to position it.

You can also make this an action also. Although i think you need your saved "watermark" to be open. Haven't played around with this part.

Ideally you can create a brush also.

Then run an action and batch all your photos if you want to do it that way also.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
