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 ;)

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
