OMG, yummmmm!!! Where's the Chaser badge on the front though, Sidd?

Eric, I still haven't looked at the video I took on Sunday, but I'll give it to you Thursday if you're coming out.

That looks really col Jay! Only just noticed it now. Did you do the graffiti as well? I assume you did judging by your comments?

Owen - Maybe piss turns glow in the dark when its baked into the paint? Who knows.

Have you checked your oil lately? We may have drained the sump...accidently of course!

Or maybe we stuffed your girlfriend into the fuel tank... But that's a bit far-fetched.

She came up to my office this morning so I don't think so :( And uhh, checking oil... no. Only time I check that is when I flush it :)

Blah, I'll figure it out tonight... maybe. Brought my camera to work today with the idea of going and taking some shots in the Uni at lunch; pity it's a shithouse day.

Maybe we flushed it for you? :(

Tip: Use a black light.

Clutch - I think it looks good. Really moody. Maybe you can use a layer mask and brighten the flower up so the yellows pop a bit more?

I really should just write a layer mask/adjustment brush tutorial LOL. I've explained this at least 15-20 times haha.

But in summary.

Crank the levels up/curves so the yellows are brighter and poppier.

Down the bottom of the layer palette is a camera look icon. Click this.

Change colour palette to black and white (Shortcut key: D). X changes between primary colour & secondary.

"Paint" in what you want selectively. Or you can press CTRL + I (on PC) or Command I (On mac) and this will invert the mask so it will be your original image still and then you can just paint the flower (Easier for you as you only want to do a little bit of the image not the entire image).

In lightroom:

Go to the develop tab

At the top underneath the histogram, click the brush.

Make sure you choose exposure, paint the flower with the brush. I think its the same in lightroom as PS, to increase brush size is the ] key and the decrease is the [ key.

You can then slide the exposure around once you have found what you want.

You can then paint in extra contrast etc etc...

Hope this helps :(

Yeah, I had some left over paint in the shed so thought i'd have a go. Ran out of white tho as I only had two 1/4 full cans.

But found a few good pieces to light paint, just got to work out how im going to get there as the skyline is playing up. :'(

Which batteries you talking about? Your box of thieved batteries from work or the ones you took out? The ones you took out you put back in that bag with your 6million year old flashes.

I checked all my bags and i don't have any batteries. If you did lose them - Get eneloops!!!! You'll never be changing after them i tell ya! Recyle time will be SO much faster on your 6million year old flashes. If there not, i'll pay for the eneloops thats how good they are.

Jay - Ahhh ok. I got a question for you. Obviously graffiti isn't done in publicly lit streets (Well pieces like yours). Do you go out to these random places by yourself and do you ever sh!t yourself??? Some places look so dodgy!!! I'd be sh!tting myself!!!!!

I'll only buy you some Sidd if your energizer batteries are faster than eneloops :down:

You can buy them at dick smith or online. I think its about $30 for a 4 pack. Buy two packs of them and it'll be the best $60 you ever invested!!!!!

Oh and where was your battery pack for the wedding on the weekend, i forgot to have a look at it.

they look dodgy, but most times i've been there during the day and that makes them feel pretty safe for some weird reason. i consider the tunnels the safest as its not that likely that you'll run into anyone. i guess i dont really think about it much.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
