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.

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 ;)

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
