nice! i love anything to do with sparks, fire, light etc. yeah im probably a closet pyromaniac :D

LOL, I think a majority of us are to some extent.

Awesome work with that vid too, Jay (you crazy MoFo)!

I think the new 100L macro is way to sharp. I seriously thought of not even applying any sort of sharpening. I just did a smart sharpen at 12% and left it at that.

Some from the Qld Charity Cruise (ps pics aren't amazing but some of the cars were)

Optional Nismo-spec leather grab handle for passers-by who want to come along for a ride? :P

Any advice on how to get them to line up properly?

- Shoot portrait (ie camera vertical not horizontal)

- Overlap lots - I normally over lap each shot by 50% (ie half of the photo was in the previous photo)

- Shoot manual more (maybe shoot first one in auto and see what settings camera suggest)

- Don't stuff around too much - shoot them quickly to minimise cloud movements etc - but remember to hold camera still while actually taking the pic

A panhead tripod head is great for this kind of stuff. Also a leveller too. Don't jump around whilst your taking the photos either to minimize vibration.

**NOTE: Jumping occurs when you take superbly amazingly awesome pics. It's a photographers syndrome.

I'll take that advice on board, fellas. I turned bracket exposure on and took 9 shots, 3 of each, but adding to HDRkinda failed. Too light, looked like crap. I'll go back just after sunset and retry though.

Oh yeah, the camera was on a tripod with stability turned off, so wasnt moving at all.

Shan, needs more offset not low. Struggled to get up my curb as it was! Lol

Photographed a tamil wedding last night. The ceremony was totally different and I have never witnessed such traditions. This is why I love these types of weddings. Nothing is ever the same and there is seriously so much happening that if you just relax for a slight second you will miss a key shot. I was only the 2nd shooter for Jay (photos by jay).

Also the bride arrived on a palkhi which I have never seen before. I always see the groom arrive on a horse, but this was totally different. Just imagine all those years ago when we still had kings and queens...I remember visiting a fortress years ago in rajasthan and they had a few gold palkhis!!! As in pure gold!! They even had silver ones in there. The one below is probably just wood.

Here is just a quick shot (no processing) of her arriving on the palkhi:

She seriously looked so stunning!!! Love her eye lashes too.

From another wedding I shot last week:

The guy getting ready on the horse.

I seriously need to start processing these wedding photos properly and put it on my blog.. falling behind :rofl:

Biggest eyes I have ever seen!! So big, bold and beautiful. Love it!!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
