Kory, now I relook at that photo the water and bank is way to saturated and the tower thing is too underexposed. I don't spend enough time processing my shots, I gotta stop being lazy! Also the laptop in front of the TV isn't the best tool to use.

Post up that pic, Zennon. She wouldn't let me take a decent photo of her, so I had to make the most of the one horrible photo I could get.

I need to know which one is better!!! Decide for me!! I'm thinking the 1st one.

This one, Kory - although the blurred trees in the second shot add to the sense of speed, they're distracting to me.

Nick, if you want more light painting 'training' i'll let you know next time i'm heading out to do some. you can come along and i'll show you some more/give you some more practice. Or we could experiment on the stag. it's a challenging colour. actually... i like that idea more. let's get together and work out how to best light your stag. hahaha that sounds dirty as.

Matt, that sounds awesome. Seeing as my car is a very dark green, and the location had very little light, I'm thinking we use Bulb mode and go for maybe 40-45 seconds and see if it comes out better. I've already got a remote cable release for my camera, and the camera has a time display on the screen (as I'm sure most would) to tell you how long the shutter's been open.

Jay I'm jealous. i wanna ride through the city taking shots all day :)

dont be, so far ive estimated my income will be around the $200-$250 mark each week, lol.

i reckon i would be better off staying on the dole, haha.

I've already got a remote cable release for my camera, and the camera has a time display on the screen (as I'm sure most would) to tell you how long the shutter's been open.

You would think so wouldn't you! How hard could it be! *sigh*

is knowing how long the shutter has been open really important for light painting pics tho, specially when using bulb? in my case it is as the shutter will close at a specific time, but if it was on bulb i would be loving it as it would give me the chance to worry more about being accurate and complete rather than rushing to get everything done in a pre-determined amount of time.

Not I don't actually light paint - just really annoying how my camera doesn't show how long shutter has been open for when doing long exposures

Having said that it is about the only thing I don't like about my camera (and only an problem when doing night time shooting or using the 10-stop ND filter)

FS Canon 70-200 F4 IS L

Seems like a good post for the chat thread - or better yet its own thread! :verymad:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
