Maybe I'm just not traditional enough to shoot Weddings, Sidd invited me out over the weekend to flex my wedding muscles and this is all I could come up with :P

Hahaha, I like that. I would probably try to pan everything and everyone at a wedding... even the bride walking down the aisle, make her look like shes doing at least 50... lol

I was down the coast and the amount of stars you could see just blew me away. It makes me want to get back into shooting stars and get a nice mount and do some deep sky photography. Drove past a shop which sell high end telescopes/mounts etc the other day so might go check it out and see what I can find. Would love a nice eq6 mount with a nice telescope...

This is the best I could do on the night without a mount or even a tripod. Might have captured something bottom right.. hmmm

Awesome shot Matt! Being different and coming up with concepts left of centre is what it's all about!!

Jealous of your panning skills guys, mainly Serg and Matt. Tried panning down at the Motorplex tonight (Perth drag strip for those over East. Well, everyone but Serg :P) and I think I got 2 or 3 out of 20 sharp :( Haven't looked at them on the computer yet though, so may not have even got those :(

Walking back to get my camera from a toilet break at a wedding I saw this cute little baby playing with my business card, so had to take a snap. I just couldn't get the baby to look at me :(

Eitherway its cute.

haha! love your candid shots Sidd.

Started a blog to chuck my photos onto, so probably wont be spamming in here as often, lol. The blog is kind of like a front end to my photos website, but with photos posted together on the day they were taken. I also ramble on some crap about the photos, sometimes they have an interesting story, sometimes not, lol.

Heres a couple of teasers...

This was a HDR. I like that it can be used for the times when you need a fill flash but dont have one. Easy, just bang off three exposures and HDR it. Maybe. lol.

EDIT: Matboy, that golf buggy pan is a classic! Nice work dude.

Had so many good opportunities for photos tonight on the way to and from the weekly cruise to the Central Coast, but shooting photos while driving isn't the best idea, unfortunately, especially at freeway speeds. :(

Still, I managed to get a few good shots today in the front yard at home, so I'll post those up by tonight or, at the latest, the end of the weekend.

Just remembered I posted this, but not the photos to go with the second half of that post... Stagea shots are up from the weekly meet-up to cruise to the Central Coast, but not the shots from the front yard the following day. :(

Stoopid me! :domokun:

Bug shots are very cool!

My parents have told me they will buy me a lens up to $1000 for my 21st cos I'm not having a party. Tossing up between a telephoto or macro... I'll probably chuck some more $$$ in to get a top of the line lens. Any suggestions, guys?

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
