Homebush is closer to what i was thinking. Little bay is really nice, but it's like an hour from home, more if there's shite traffic. There's water, there's some cool old dirty abandoned roads, some art and architecture and.... BEER. Also it's central. Maybe we can hit up little bay another time for a water/land shoot?

I'm keen for some beers and photos.

Sidd you love that place don't you lol.. That the same place we did the model shoot ages ago yeah?

We can always head out to my area on the beaches for something. Maybe shoot a few cars before sunset, take a few sunset shots, then take a few star trail shots or something?

Probably best to vote on a location.

Bring the girlfriends so you can drink more :P

I think a Car shoot followed by some landscape photos followed by XXXXXX Would be a good idea. Would be like an SAU workshop lol.

Lol little bay is easily an hour and a half for me.

Theres lots of industrial areas out there, lights from the stadiums and gritty stuff, good for car shoots. I don't know where half of them are though.

Might want to wait it out until the NRL finals are over also, or do it on a different day. Don't make it a final day lol.

On another note...

Just mucking around.

Lighting was two AB800's.

Lol 6. And this was the medium sized balloon.

I told the missus numerous times when to pop it, but she kept delaying or being too early.

But finally we got it. Not what i had in mind, but it was too late to keep mucking around :P

Yea its like taking water drop pictures.. You take so many and only a get a select few which turn out great.

So want to do an underwater shoot. Anyone know where i can hire out underwater housings??

I used to play around with water alot, but with video. We use high speed cameras at work. they shoot anything between 10,000 to 1 frame per second. It's good fun, yet to try anything with the camera though.

Shame you mentioned your misses, I was about to comment on how manly your hands are hahaha

bucks night tonight. should be good! >:P

Sidd, if we end up at mens or platinum we're talent scouts for a very large but unnamed publishing company :(

Wow! You thought about coming over for superlap from perth!?!?! Holy sh!t, dedicated much!

Anyway, here are a few muck around edits. All natural lighting. Just tweaked in photoshop. Obviously a few errors as i didn't spend a long time on them.

Got the 550D today :) problem is that CS3 for Mac doesn't recognise the newer CR2 files, wtf? I've got the latest RAW plugin, but nooo. Have to grab CS4 from work then.

Got a damn good price, considering it was Harvey Norman and all: 550D and the 18-55mm lens, 50mm 1.8 lens, 4 years warranty for cam and lenses, 2 Hoya UV filters (pitch 0.75) (one for each lens), a Hoya CPL filter, extra battery, 16Gb Sandisk Extreme, Inca tripod, and a Kata bag for 1863... very happy. Got home late so I've only got a few crappy shots, took one of my doggie though; shooting in full auto at the mo until I get a bit of time to play in the daytime with it. Nothing special, just my gorgeous doggy who's a bit drugged up cause we had to take him to the vet to get most of one of his nails cut off; he'd broken it and it was hanging :(

No photoshop (grumble, stupid CS3 and no CR2), just straight from cam (and resized).

Congrats Owen, hope you enjoy it.

Yep, you'll need CS4 or CS5... The thing with adobe is that when the newer cameras come out they only give out certain updates to camera raw etc.. until the new photoshop comes along and then any cameras released after that aren't supported by the old photoshop.. It sucks, but thats how they rake in the cash.

Enjoy all the new gear!

Wow! You thought about coming over for superlap from perth!?!?! Holy sh!t, dedicated much!

Meh, I need a holiday, so why not? Check out a new city and it certainly beats the V8 Supercars, not that we get them over here any more...

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
