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.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
