Hey fellas, not sure what people are doing tonight but Nick and I are going down to the Granny Smith festival to have a play with some fireworks photography. They put on a small fireworks show from the oval that is actually really nice.

City of Ryde's website seems to be down this site says the show is at 8:30 pm - hopefully their site will come back up soon so I can confirm.

Also worth noting, don't let the sedan appearance fool you, this thing is a freakin weapon..

to me it seems like the highlights have been tweaked alittle to give that hdr look, and the rear bumper seems different colour to the rest of the body..clean looking car though

Incredible view from the wedding ceremony :)

Hardest day to shoot with it raining in the morning then full bright sun, then overcast, then bright sun again.. everyone sweating and squinting. But what an awesome day it ended up being!!

Dont you love it with a guest walks in front to take a picture.

Still love the pic though.

Everyone outside. Felt sorry for the couple standing in the hot sun. Hardest thing to exposure and get the lighting correct.

OK I have a confession to make. I love big bold beautiful eyes. I should make a post one day of all my collection.

No editing to the eyes or skin at all for the next three pics. They really do have big bold beautiful eyes!!!!!

IMG_1796_resize.jpg

Yup no editing done to the eyes at all.

Awesome shots sidd, I reckon as a photographer at these sorts of events you have the perfect excuse to compliment women on their features while at the same time appearing genuine and not overtly hitting on them? "You have amazing eyes, never seen anything like em, I just have to take a photo of you!" "Brilliant, you're a natural! Have you ever had a photoshoot done before? No? I could do one for you if you're not busy next Saturday..." etc etc ;)

have a play with some fireworks photography

hope to see something fresh and new rather than the typical shots that every man and his dog takes. even just fresh new viewpoints would rock.

heres a pic i took a couple days ago with the kids camera...

panos with a full auto point and shoot can be challenging, lol.

^ nicely done man :)

btw for this shot of the ute you posted up: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6171/6233733585_bc3e85ee74_b.jpg

Wouldnt it be better to have all the cars in focus? I feel not every shot has to be a panning shot. But thats just my 2cents.

Canon just released an upgrade to my 1D mk4....

It's called the 1D X.

It shoots 14 frames per second!!

Has an ISO of up to 208500!!!

This is what one of my friends just sent me

Jay - Excellent pano man.. Love it!!!! Now frame that asap and hang it on a wall. Looks incredible :)

cheers Sidd. looks great from a distance, but up close I can see a few places where it didnt stitch together so well.

but...

made myself a cheap and nasty pano head. probably not quit as good as a purpose built head, but should be better than handheld. will try it out today and post up the results.

I was snapping some quicker shots over the weekend Sidd, I agree with you, mixing it up is essential. I was panning that shot because I was shooting specifically for that team, so wanted to give them the full focus of attention.

Nicely done Jay. Should work a treat, who cares if it's not pretty. Ghetto mods rock! Most of my paint kit is ghetto as. sponsored by Jaycar and shonkiness :P

That 1Dx looks the shit. Lets see how nikon responds. I've been following the D800 rumour mill, 38mp or something ridiculous. Either way, the next step in cameras looks like it's going to be a pretty strong leap forward.

some more randoms. some from bathurst, some from forster...

At bathurst I was trying to shoot around the track too, focus on the culture and spirit of the event as much as the action on the track.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
