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!!

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
