DO IT.. Do it now lol.. Keen to see house. Would be awesome if you could do some light painting with it or perhaps get star trails in the background.

Nice pics guys.

Do you know what kind of trees they are Jay?

Speaking of abandoned, I came across these on a trip out to La Perouse yesterday. Bummed that I didn't have my SLR with me but took these with my iPhone (they have been worked over a fair bit with PS). I love this stuff.

There are many other buildings like this one which are being destroyed in the name of new apartments and land releases as part of the Little Bay estate - was inevitable really with such amazing views over the bluffs/ocean and four A grade golf courses right next door.

Awesome. Abandoned buildings are so fun to shoot.

I remember walking into an abandoned house around here a few years ago and as i opened the front door it creaked really bad and then next step i took, my foot went straight through the floorboards cutting my leg to shit because i just yanked it out screaming like a little girl and ran out.

It got demolished a week after that when i went back with an arsenal of friends :(

Thanks Kory - yeah I reckon you'd have to watch where you step, not just for termite-eaten floorboards but also used needles, etc.

Thought you'd like the building Matty. There are a couple around there, and you can get some pretty nice shots of the coast from the same location.

You mustve found it real hard shooting those stags on sunday, it being so wet and slippery and all. good thing you had a mate holding you up while you stood on that pole...

:P

Seriously though should've brought a ladder in the back of the 260 to get some height for the group shot. Looking forward to the PI article.

murray river red gums.

Took the kids bowling today and then for a walk on the beach. Found this mossy rock.

That was taken at a friend's magazine launch party for issue #2. The band were, ummmm, interesting (lots of "experimental" noises very occasionally matching up to a beat of some kind), but it was a good chance to try some gig photography again, and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately I needed to head home before the acts I wanted to see/hear were on...

Oh, and stop posting dodgy photos of me, I don't need to be reminded about how fugly I am!

Revenge:

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
