I like the last pic as well jay.. Love your perspective of the pics you capture.

IMG_1408_resize-1.jpg

ISO6400, No noise reduction.

It looks like an image of a scale model or diorama. Stood out to me instantly. Was that the intention? Long time lurker.

Sounds like you are thinking of "tilt shift photography"

*does a quick google*

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/16/beautiful-examples-of-tilt-shift-photography/

That was the first link on Google - Haven't had a look at the photos yet but should have some good examples.

Thanks for the kind words Richie. Hopefully get a blog post up soon with all the photos from the wedding.

Nick - The photo was taken from a tilt-shift lens (45mm canon tilt shift). Purpose of the photo - none really hahah. Well just testing out the tiltshift lens as I have never used it before.

i like the shot of the pelican in flight.

just dont show any professional bird shooters, they will have a cry that its a 'butt' shot :P

(i learnt that the hard way, haha)

your beaches look a lot more interesting then our beaches. love the old jetty!

butt shot hahaha.. Where was it taken matt? Nice set of pics.

nah didnt borrow his.. my 2nd shooter accidentally left it in my car after a shoot. So decided to take as many pics with it as possible before I gave it back to him.

Found my old 2gb memory cards.. Forgot I still had pics on there.

u sneaky f**k! i don't even remember you taking that!

Matt - how can you not remember him taking that pic. Your smiling at the camera!!!!

bad memory i guess. probably because i'm retarded.

LOL, you're a ruh-tard, Matt! :P I'm pretty sure I showed you that photo straight after I took it, too. Was just after I'd bought the G12.

I'm really happy with that purchase, BTW - it's proving to be an awesome little camera! I love having a smaller camera with most of the functions of a DSLR, so I can still play with/learn how settings work without having to carry the 60D and lenses around constantly.

Lol i was about to say no beaches in Penrith :P

Jay - Love that shot. Where is more buildings in adelaide? I think you've explored them all!

Sidd - Killing it as usal.

Nick - FCUKING LOL. Matt should use that for his Pedo pete profile. Fcuking creep.

Wilorichie - Nice shots!

Oh and a shot from me. Re-edited from ADGP.

I lost my bike messenger job so dont head into the city at all any more. It's over an hour away (3 if i ride, lol)

but... applied for a commercial cleaning position with a company that specializes in working at heights.

if all goes well i'll have access to some crazy views in future and if things go to plan i'll be able to look into specializing in photography at heights.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
