Ah broncolor. Yeah Jason Cole shoots with broncolor, seen him use one. I'd much rather pay $5K for an elinchrom Octabank which does the same thing. I think they are bigger (or around the same size). Broncolor is stupidly expensive. Great gear etc... but way over-priced. A cable just to plug a strobe into a battery pack is $400. Its only 2m!!!

Anyhow, i can only imagine how good the light is from one of these :D

I used the broncolor powerpacks and lights and puts my strobes to shame. But anyways for a amateur there is no need to be investing in that gear. If i ever setup a studio one day i will buy the elinchrom.. but im sure if you get big $$$$ for comerical stuff no doubt you will invest in some heafty gear.

Pretty sure from memory the studio had these:http://www.bron.ch/bc_pd_ps_en/detail.php?nr=15071

Broncolor is 10x the price of AB's. If i ever went pro as a studio shooter i still wouldn't invest in broncolor, i'd go with profoto. Broncolors just so "It has to be broncolor" or you can't use it. That's why i dont like them. I LOVE the light they output, but the price! The price!

I like that Avenger stand. To bad C stands with wheels and crank's are like $300-$400 +$200 shipping to aus!

I guess if you had the money then why not hahahah.. But even profoto is expensive. The para by them is 10k also!!

Anyways lets try and set up a studio first and be as famous as scott kelby or chase etc etc.. lol.. before we think of what to buy ahhaha

speaking of food shots here is a brochure I'm working on for a client... no money for a pro photographer so I borrowed a lense and shot it myself... we had to shoot at the front of the restaurant in fading afternoon light while the place was still full of customers but I reckon it turned out okay... my wife styled them (she's a photo/tv producer)

shots off the camera were quite 'cool' due to the natural light so I had to warm them in post... they're pretty muted colour wise too but that's the look we were going for

some great car shots in this thread too... makes me want to go and shoot my car... I'll have to wash it first tho lol

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
