Welcome to the party Zorro.

Here's my fav and *maybe* Final pic from my V8 Supercar shoot last week. Looks like it's going to end up on a billboard and probably some magazines too.

Hi Everyone,

I have just recently started photography with a new purchase of a nikon DSLR. I took this photo last night at kangaroo point. Any cc is welcome. Thanks

Brendan.

howdy. you took the pic at a nce time and got some awesome colors, but...

looks like the focus is off a little. could be a little shake (even though it must have been on a tripod) from when you pressed the shutter. use 2 second self timer to help eliminate that. i noticed you used f4.8, for landscapes I'd use something a fair bit higher, from around 8-22 which will also help a little if you still have problems with focusing.

Hi Jay, thanks for the feedback.

I actually shot this using a remote and was standing about 1.5m away from the camera at the time of shooting. As for the focusing I can see what you mean as it does look out of focus a touch. Mind you the boats on the water are crystal clear when I zoom in on them, no motion blur that I can see.

It was windy at the time so maybe that affected the shot.

Once again thanks for your feedback,

Brendan.

did you have the lens on auto or manual focus? if it was on auto it might have shifted just a tad when you used the remote?

the ships being in focus but not the buildings would likely be because of the shallow depth of field you get from an f4.5 aperture

I am still a noob so I'm soaking up all this information like a sponge! So should I be shooting on manual focus? I will definitely go back and try again with an aperture of 8 or so.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
