Actually it will be interesting to know the lighting setup for that shot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/britishmonarchy/5671667895/in/set-72157626613171058

Looking by the shadows and no light spill on the carpet im thinking just one huge ass light modifier on camera right.

Looks at the shadows under the chin.. To me it looks like one light source plus available light coming from behind to light up the side of the face a little.

Post up your thoughts :)

Definitely a bigass modifier camera right. It doesn't really extend all the way to the left, so i would say it's a little bit high but not really high up. Definitely an awesome photo, although i dont know why he wouldnt use one camera left either :| Definitely very soft light though!

The picture taken 30 years ago with Diana used two lights camera left and right which created bad shadows. As in cross lighting!!

I love this light and its damn awesome job!! Wish I can produce something like that on such a large group in a big area.

Make sure you get an IPS monitor. Do not buy a TN monitor as these do not reflect the true colour spectrum used in photography. Also, once you have bought a monitor, buy a calibration unit like a spyder 2 or spyder 3 (Depending how much of a budget you are on). These are essential in re-calibrating your monitor. It may not be off when you first buy it or for the first 6 months etc.. but it will eventually start to "Drift" and this is where the calibration tool will come in handy.

Dell normally have a lot of sales and with these sales you can get coupons off buckscoop etc.. for a 10%-15% saving if you buy online. Check out some of there monitors and wait for a sale!

John, this is the calibration tool I use, and it's super-easy. Just switch on your computer and monitor, let it work for at least 30mins, the plug the Spyder unit in via USB, run the software and let it do its thing...

Thinking of making a little logo for pics I take; going to be taking a lot of photos tonight at a work christmas party, and don't want the fundraising section to just steal my photos and use them willy-nilly. Any ideas where I should start; I'd assume a small logo would be a good place?

Making signatures is hard! I still dont like mine, no one can really tell I actually have my full name underneith it unless its printed out fullsize, which as far as I know none of my photos have been.

I think Matt and Sidd have nailed it though.

Watermarks are quite hard. I stick with something simple, but i think i'll be changing it again this year. 3 years in a row! Always had red in it so it stands out and i also shoot in daylight quite often at events so all white doesn't help.

Whatever you want, you won't find it first go (trust me). Make something that you like so far, and keep shooting and browsing forums and you will get ideas about what to do. Alternately, speak to a graphic designer if you really want some creative edge.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
