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.

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:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
