been playing with fake black & white with a grainy film look lately. not sure how convincing it is tho

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..

IMG_2673_resize.jpg

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)

    • 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.
