Oh. One last one. A 1200ton shovel. This baby will pick up 100ton in a scoop- plus the weight of the bucket. See the car at the rear of the machine? Its a big bastard whid runs on electricity.

Any of you that went on the putty road cruise to Singleton would of seen the Coal Mines on the way into town. Now you know all the machines that work in em too!!

Sorry to spam the thread guys :thanks:

holy SHEEET ... those things are epic!!! should have some of them bad boys up where the floods were in QLD lol epic clean up machines... haha but seriously that last one runs off electricity!?!?! is that the big ass cable running from the back of it to the power point???

Here is my find of the day... :) a model car almost exactly like mine except I dont have the VVC engine and the colour of mine is "maroon" "purple" aka Morello (actual colour name)

I have a name, Tabitha!! :P If you could zoom in on him, it would have improved the shot a bit I think, but still a great shot! Well done.

Jay, they're fantastic mate! Well done.

In other news, 70-200 f4L is on its way soon. 6 days til I get it as a birthday present... CANT WAIT!!!! :D :D :D

This is our biggest trucks. they carry 400ton on their back.

stuff048.jpg

far out man, I think thats the same trucks that my mum drives at work. either that or the next size down.

it makes me laugh tho, she is close to 5ft tall and driving some massive monster in a mine, lol.

hahahaha, that light painting vid was epic!!!! i thought about having a go at something like that but got lazy when I realised just how long it would take.

Whoa global warmer, i thought i'd seen some big trucks but holy shit! even the ones at boddington are only 250t.

They have the electric shovels at boddo too, as a result that mine alone uses 15% of WAs power grid (or something close)

Also that gizmodo shot of the snowman cult is wicked :D

And rhys i know your name, if i had spent too long taking the photo the dude would of been suss, i can always crop it :)

Pfft, Liebherr (or however you spell it)

I build bigger trucks in my sleep :P

Me next to a Komatsu 960E, I build dump trucks every now and then ;)

BTW: QSK 78 Engine = 78Litre capacity, 12 turbos, 18 cylinders. 3500hp and alot of torque driving an alternator and 2 GE Wheel motors. Max Speed 64km/h

960E.jpg

I did some night shots of my car the other day, To much ISO but there was a fair bit of noise in the photo (to much ISO right? haha) but this one turned out OK

WOW 12 turbos... that's nuts!!! but yes if your ISO is high (usually more then 3200 correct me if im wrong) depending on the camera noise will show up invest in a flash or low light lenses and you'll be sweet :)

love the angle of that shot woodsy.

hows this for cool (or weird)

bought a torch the other day and its model number is 19 and it also has a plastic disc that you have to remove before it will work. turns out its almost a perfect fit to use as a color filter for the torch itself. cant wait to test it out in a light painting soon.

daaaaaymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm jay. killing it. each one of those shots is gold man! loving the skys, loving how you haven't over done and killed the hdr. not many people understand what hdr is about but you sir, seem to have it covered. keep em coming.

ah cheers man. with the HDR's I just process them so they look ok to me and then cross my fingers and hope others like them. i guess i just try to use HDR to compensate for parts of a scene that get too bright or dark when the main subject is fine.

I had a go at some commercial shots during my lunch break at work today. 3 strobes. One for the back wall, 2 on the car. I'm really happy with how these are turning out. Must be the square little model I was using...

5412199395_ab04ab9e03_b.jpg

i like this shot mostly. only CC i have is the front bumper is just a little overblown. maybe a little less power or a little further back? been so long since I played with speedlights.

oh and i dunno about the wall at back being so bright, might be just me, but seeing as you get a little reflection on the windscreen and the floor isnt perfect white I think it allows for the background to have some texture in it. just my thoughts, what does everyone else think?

5412223535_d5c55cba5c_b.jpg

nice.

maybe just a (metric) smidge of light in the top centre of the bonnet near the edge of frame would give it a little more balance?

overall heaps good still.

some more I took on Saturday night 2 of the 800 photos that is... haha I got some awesome shots from that night... the lighting setup was pretty good

used my Nikon D700

50mm f1.8

no flash

iso between 800 - 1250

shutterspeed hovering around 80

most shots were done between 1.8 to 2.5 but some of them I managed to bump up to about 3.5 - 4 as I was looking directly into to the lights

Noise shows up well before 3200. Around ISO 800 on most cameras. It depends on what you shoot with (camera, nothing to do with lenses). The only thing lenses come into is that you can shoot at 1.2/1.4 etc.. in low light so that your shutter speed can be upped or your ISO dropped. This doesn't always help out THAT much but it helps.

I can't get over how fcuking big those trucks are. Would love to drive one!

Jay your definitely killing it with the HDR's. Look so natural and i feel like i'm there.

Lepperfish - Good to see you posting again :) Really like that silo of the car!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
