Jay - Love those slow shutter shots! Something about them i really like. I've always wanted to do one in Sydney's CBD at peak hour but have one person stand still and everyone walk around her waiting at the traffic lights.

cheers man, tried a different angle today and was running at either 1/8th or 1/15th i think, they will be on my facebook soon(ish). kinda needing a tripod tho, lol. that idea about the one person standing still is awesome! might give something like that a go in future, and i'll be sure to credit you for the idea ;) ooh, ooh... maybe even a homeless man asleep in a park with heaps of people just walking past. damn, you got my mind ticking over on this one, nice one lol.

Hahahaha. Theres so many ideas i would love to try out, but just dont have the time. Would be awesome for project 365 as well! (for you too)! The homeless man idea is sick!! I'm sure if you went up to him and said sit still for 5 seconds and i'll give you $5 he would do it!

BNR - Is that a proper full size F1 car? I thought they were so much bigger!!!!!! So jealous of you even getting to hear one in real life! Yet you get to see it driving around on your main roads! That thing at full song would make white stuff appear on the lens.

Yeah, it's the 2009 chassis with current aero and a v10 engine. The sound is insane, though having it revved out 2 meters from Your eat is actualy quiet painful

Photographed a pre-wedding event last night (Haldi). Probably one of the hardest places to shoot. It was in the backyard with the lowest ceiling (which was orange) ever.. I could touch it with my hands. So bouncing flash was a little hard, but I had fun bouncing flash off different things. Also I was shooting 2 hours straight and went thru 12 AA batteries on my flash!!! Not a dull moment through-out the night...

Your probably asking why is there yellow stuff on her face? Well the event is called Haldi: This event normally takes place a day before the wedding. The ceremony is considered auspicious and is meant to purify both bride and groom before the big day. Because of the medicinal properties, its like a mini-facial/body scrub the day before the wedding. Its actually fun to watch!!

Just two pictures from last night for now: Wedding day is today!! so excited about that one.

Check out her henna!!! love it.

Sweet colors Sidd! Definitely pops.

I wonder why your powering through batteries so much!? Even at full power for 2 hrs should be one set max! Must be taking heaps of shots. I'm sure there is tonnes and tonnes of awesome moments during indian weddings though.

I always picture elephants when i think about indian weddings i dont know why lol..

LOL! You guys are so racist :D

There seems to be a lot of Indian weddings in Sydney though!

Serg, thats awesome man. I'd love to go watch him thrash it around Barbz, but at $50 entry... Its a bit out of my price range :( Stupid apprentiship wages :/

holy crap that shirt the dude is wearing on the left is awesome :)

hope there'll be good photos from today up soon HINT HINT

Dude on the left is Daniel Ricciardo, a Perth boy that has now been signed by Toro Rosso as their reserve driver for next year so he will be driving every friday practice for them.

F1 goodness is FTW!!!!!

Chase - Quality shouldn't be affected at all by going from full res to low res (web size). As long as you re-sharpen everytime you resize you'll be fine and it will be of even better quality than full res because it will appear sharper.

23MB files sound like you've got around 15MP. So when you resize down to web size, re-sharpen it (not the full amount you use for full res, half it e.g. 40% for full res, use 20% for web size). If the quality is still compressed and artifacting, then your not resizing to the proper size and your image hoster is compressing it down for you.

Sweet pics! As always black is hard to shoot with especially on a sunny day with lots of reflections. I think you did pretty well :rofl2:

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
