Already spewing I didn't get the IS model, but it was free so cat complain :)

70-200 f4 L for those interested. However I will upgrade to a 70-200 f2.8L IS eventually, after I buy my 7D. (might be sooner if I fail to convince myself saving for a house is important, lol)

farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk. rhys better be taking some might fine shots frmo now on! because it's all the glass you know ;)

They're basically most of the shots i was going to post Kory, I'll have to have a dig and find some of my 'artistic' ones now :P hahaa

finally put the new rims on the car yesterday. took me a whole day to find black 12x1.5 nuts and a lock nut. grrrrrrrrrrr. anyhow.... they're ON. and i'll take a few shots later in the week.

welcome back zenon (even if you hates us :'( ) haha

Congrats Rhys :) I bet your stoked?

Lol sorry. I just picked different angles and chose a photo that i rated 5 stars. Only one i thought you might post was the rx7 flame popping bananza. I is soz :(

Where did you end up getting your nuts from? and lolcats at you waiting until monday.

Hahaha, I also knew you wouldn't be able to wait till today to put the wheels on, Matt. Can't wait to see it.

Product shoot went okay yesterday, and the woman who creates all the jewellery was really easy to work with. She's mega-talented too, just about all the artworks in her house were done by her, and there was A LOT!!! Paintings, carvings, pottery and ceramics absolutely everywhere, but it didn't look cluttered.

The main issue I had was lighting, I really wish I had some modelling/beauty constant lights to work with, but I doubt I'd use then often enough to justify buying them.

lolz0rz blacktown autobarn.

Nick - Yep.. You don't realize how hard it is to light jewellery for product shots until you take a shot. Reflections are killers. Diffusion is what you need or constant lighting.

Hope it all went well and i'm sure the shots turned out good :)

Yeah, I wanted to add more to my previous comment before, but editing your post on the iPhone is a PITA.

Luckily for me, my cousin's wife was modelling all the jewellery, so that made it a bit easier. If I get the colour temps right, it should help a fair bit with editing later (at least I hope so). I was using bounced flashes and an overhead low-voltage halogen, and there was a skylight in the ceiling right near where we were shooting.

Obviously no one told J that one! Haha

Cheers Kory, yeah I love it. It makes me look like a pro =P

Went out for a shoot today with my mate cos what else is there to do on a public holiday?

Sneak peak:

Nice lens, Rhys - I was telling Matt and Kory that I'd like to order one very soon, but maybe stretch the budget for an f/2.8 version - just like you, I wish it came out with the IS too. Now that the Mk II version is out (with IS), the first ones are dropping in price.

Yeah, it's a great lens, and not a bad price for an L lens I reckon. I should have waited until the MKII came out and snapped up the IS a bit cheaper, but no one wants to wait for a 21st birthday present! Haha.

When my phitography makes me filthy rich (BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!) I'll upgrade, but for now its fine.

Although the above photos were taken on my 17-85.

how much will that lens be? Like 15k or some shit?

I've been busy with heaps of stuff the last few weeks. I've actually got some cool stuff to shoot but not the time. will try to throw up a few suprises later in the week ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
