i like the third cityscape 33driver. looks like you set the white balance right on that one. the other is a little too orange i think. i find that setting the white balance to tungsten works well. you will still get some lights looking orange, but overall its better balanced.

were you setting white balance manually, or just using auto?

the pink ferris wheel shots are nice. would be sweet if you got the whole wheel in. i know it can be a hassle tho depending on what kind of tripod head you have.

I had a go at night HDR tonight. i reckon i needed one or two darker shots to fix a couple of spots that got burnt out. i also had to pull the 'shadow' slider right down to bring some darkness back into the sky, something else im hoping the extra shot or two under exposed may help? either that or i need to get organised earlier and catch some sunset colors, although this is facing south. will take a while to get the hang of it, have to wait till monday to try again, lol.

hey jay,

awesome shots, and yeah thanks for feedback.

WB was set on manual, first two were deliberately set on sunny, last sets we done with tungsten (last photo).

yeah agree with the ferris wheel, problem was that they had flood lights on the bottom which made the whole base of the wheel overexpose.

cheers,

Matt

any reason you set the white balance to sunny for the first two? it does show the difference between sunlight and tungsten white balance I guess.

EDIT: ah lol, just had a look again... sunlight WB was probably the better choice for the first one as the sun hadnt totally left the sky, it would have come out very blue otherwise.

ah yep, thought there would have been a good reason.

i reckon it may have still worked out with the floodies in the shot, as long as you dont let them effect the overall exposure.

kinda like contre-jour photos with the sun in the background, maybe, lol.

I haven't contributed anything in a while but I just got my new camera last week. It's a Panasonic GH2 Micro 4/3.

So far pretty impressed with its capabilities. Here's a few test shots I took when I got it.

Shot of the moon was iso 160, but the other two were tests of indoor lighting and iso 1600. I'm really impressed with the high iso range with minimal noise. Of course I'd usually shoot lower iso but I wanted to see the image quality in high iso for video use. In video you can slow down the shutter but it really starts to make things look choppy if you go too far.

Hopefully I'll have some more time to play soon and post some more pics.

Jay, that HDR looks awesome mate!! You're definately onto something there. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Well I've decided I need some new SD cards, I would have some awesome 4WD shots for you all right now if I hadn't left my card in the computer

:(

ISO1600 for those indoor ones? WOW! that's very impressive indeed captn apezma! how small is the camera?

Jay, your hdr is shit. it's not over cooked or overdone at all. You can't even tell it's HDR at a glance. Everyone knws that HDR's need to look like an aborted dwarf. Nah it's awesome! really well done! Subtle is the key. Perhaps crop the bottom out, with the dark from the building, it's not adding. I covered it with my hand, looked rad. try it out :D That type of shot suits a wide crop too!

Matt, your photos are absolutely unreal!!

Here is some shots of my friends guitar:

thanks mate!

do a wide crop and re-cook it so it looks shit. that's what HDR is all about ;) hahaha. I've wanted to go do some night shots for a couple weeks but it's been so rainy and I've been sick :( Maybe next week!

mightnight purple anyone?

Hey guys, I'm building some stuff for my video rig and though I'd share this one since it will also work for any SLR zoom lens.

I wanted a more controllable way to zoom when I have my camera in video mode.

I got this downspout clamp from Bunnings for $5. I just cut the tabs and drilled a hole to put the clamping screw through (a nice long one from one of my extra follow focus gears).

It really turned out well and the zoom is so much more fluid and smooth since I can control it better.

Just thought I'd share.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
