I've got a couple but the gutter cut the light to the bottom of your rim and it looks pov.

I shot an underexposed shot with a flash zoomed in in my other hand. I did still need to remove some minor stuff in shop but the shots were 95% done. I was just trying random shit. I've shot so many car shows I get bored if they're not moving... *YAWN*

Car shows are boring as hell. IF i ever go back to see autosalon or something, i'm only taking pics of the models and that's it. When you can't move them/shoot them how you want, you may as well just take a P&S to a car show.

I like the effect, especially since your bored.

That girl look like a drowned rat or is it just me?

did u pull back the exposure on those 2 shots? the sun looks like its been toned down heaps. other than that, the first shot is really nice man. good colours too.

SB900 in the mail ;)

SB-900 hey! You could of ordered 2 AB's for the price of one of those :)

So, i got denied from being CAMS accredited! Quite devo, but meh, always the rest of the year to improve. As long as i don't see little sh!ts at WTAC again this year with kit lenses and point and shoots, my year shall be filled with joy!

PS - Sidd that is a rad shot of those flowers.

I hope everything in QLD eases up too, poor people :(

Well from a bunch of my other mates that also applied, they also got denied. They "strongly suggest i re-submit again this year" with a better business plan. It was a bit weak, but i can't really write much about what i want to do in 2011 as a tog because i dont know what i can do or where i can go.

They were also extremely slack in getting back to us all about being accredited or not. It said on the website, you'll know by late november, yet i only just heard back today. 3 months hanging on the fence is a long time to wait only to find out you've been rejected.

Ah well, i'll just re-think and re-submit. If i don't get in this year though, i think i'll have a massive whinge haha.

Meh, they already told me.. Lack of a business plan, they told me i shoulda wrote about who i service/plan to service in the future. I don't see how that makes such a big difference that i don't get CAMS but whatev's, Can't do much about it now. I just think if i waited 2 weeks to find out, i wouldn't of bothered caring, but the fact that 3 months later i get rejected. You'd think they could get there shit straight and at least update there website also!

Did my mate call you yet?

that sucks kory, the quality of your photos kills the quality of some togs that i know will get accreditation. i didnt bother to get it again this year cause well, i dont have a dslr anyway, and because having cams did absolutely nothing to help me earn any money. at the end of the day i wasted $4000 of our life savings on a career that was never going to happen. i guess you live and learn tho.

Experimenting with HDR. The sun was really blinding to the point i couldnt see much else so thought it was worth a shot anyways. Will get there eventually. Still a long way to get to the standard of alot of you guys. Unreal photos.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
