spotted this in a building foyer and it had me intrigued for a bit. love light and shadows and silhouettes and stuff, lol.

That 200SX - shame it's an s14 (they seem so dull to me), and the colour isn't to my taste, but the stance and wheels are awesome.

I love the self-portrait reflection in the convex mirror, the post with the rainbow in it, and the "dark heart" shots. :) :)

yeah see thats what i was talking about. you turn random shit that most people wouldn't even notice when walking past every day into something worth looking at. nice!

did anyone other sydney siders see the purple and red light from the sky last night? The sky was on fire. it was f**king awesome! I ran outside and snapped some shots. Will try to post a couple up tonight. it was rad!

Nice photos Jay! Good way to start off December!

Matt - Seeing as you live 400000kms away from me, i didnt see anything except grey sky and pissing down rain.

Although last night there was awesome fog everywhere. Couldn't see 2 metres in front but i wish i had my camera with me!

S14a looks to soft and gay. Need the facelift at least.

No ufo, just the light coming through the clouds as it bounced across the blue mountains got difused and the whole sky was fire orange and angry purple. put a red glow on everything. like the world was covered with a red gel. it was awesome. i got some shots out the front where i flashed some trees so you see the sky colours compared to the normal green. will post later. looks like armageddon or some shit. evil biblical goodness :D

Agreed with Matt, your photos show a new perspective on ordinary things, Jay.

I saw that, mate, I went to Hornsby and had debated taking my camera, and noticed the colours in the sky while I was there. Even if I had taken my camera, the spot where I could see the sky from was half-blocked by a big palm tree, and the window I was looking out was filthy...

^ agree with the comments above about jay.. DUDE dont give up man!! keep shootting. I like how you explore the city.. keep at it mate.

I honestly feel my tank is getting way to small for everything, esp my clam, elegance coral and my two tangs. Hopefully next year I can upgrade to a bigger tank.

So tonight i decided to change the layout a little and open up the space up front. The clam can now open up freely without touching the glass or the coral behind it. Still few little bits and pieces to move around, but I think i will leave as it is now.

Before pic: Taken a while back actually.. so lots of things have grown even more...

After pic: Still cloudy and got my powerheads still on. Also notice the new LED unit on the left :( Looks a lot bluer tho..

so been doing some product shots for a client and IM NEVER doing it again. Getting the lighting right and making sure everything is white is so hard and time consuming..Then on top that trying to stop the reflections!! Anyone want to edit about 100 photos? Any photoshop gurus? Will pay you $200!!!

Eg) IMG_1010.jpg

well talking about december and photos... >.> here is a fresh picture taken not more than 1 or so hours ago... bit more processing needed but

post-78617-1291294324_thumb.jpg

It was a last minute decision as the weather cleared up and First time I have done any light painting by myself.... If only I had a BB gun or something to shoot out the stupid sodium vapour lamp that was there!!! :(

over all pretty fun though

Sidd, I'm guessing you are going to take off the stickers on both lenses, right?

Also, can't you use a lightbox of some kind, even if you make one up somehow with a few flashes/strobes and white card? Or is this what you've already done, because the shadows aren't that bad. There are a few hotspots, so I'm guessing that with some diffused/softened lighting you could reduce those.

omg! Wow woodsey! How did you get their number plates like that? :down: I knew you'd go buy a light straight away. I must be psychic.

send a me a couple samples sidd. might be a really quick fix for them.

Here's some shots of the sky the other day. straight from camera. and dumped on picasa at full res (So excuse the awesome picasa softness)

and a bonus...

Matty youre heaps funny .... with the cunning use of photoshop... annoyed though because my sister has my good lens and I had to use her crap one...

Also I love the sky shots...

Also played with my mates 14 - 20 mm lens for abit and I want one so bad

Also GTRSEAN got me the light haha but I have a 70 led one coming

Edited by woodsy900

most of my work is done on my d90 with a 150 lens.

the sky was awesome, it only lasted for about 10 minutes tops. and there was only about 5 minutes where the colours popped like that. it was so awsome to see in real life. You can see on the trees and grass, i didn't adjust colour or saturation. it was unreal. wish i took some whole sky shots i could use for later on :down: next time.

Woodsy - You need a brighter light. Looks as though its too dark and can't bring out the highlights of the cars. Or use a diffuser that doesn't diffuse so much light :down:

Matt - That sky is some sweet action right there. You shoulda drove two seconds away from your house to that road where all the development is getting down and taken some snaps so you can shoop skies into your shots later on! Think ahead son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sidd - Send me an email with some product shots i'll see what i can do. Also, let me know what you want done lol.

Best way to do it is to use a light tent (at least white walls everywhere) and bounce off everything.

Yeah man, thats what i meant i shoulda taken some for later on. grrrrrrrrrrrr. wouldn't have had time to drive, it was over before it started.

I made a light tent out of folded paper for taking pics of my mates wedding rings. worked out ok. mail a few over.

straight from camera (not even adjustments)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
