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

I know it's pretty crazy. My friend who is a serious photography was telling that canon are planning to release a camera that's 54mp or something like that.

He was saying that he can't wait cause a lot of photos he has been taking lately are on film and cost shit loads to develop.

I showed him photos of the Bisley V8 u took Matt and he was very impressed.

Why would you need 54megapixels but? Having more megapixels shouldnt get you all excited unless your printing on big billboards or actually doing proper commerical shoots. But then you should be using a mediuim format camera anyways.

You know hasselblad have been making 60plus megapixels for a long time. But totally different camera I know. Just saying.

Having more megapixels aint gonna make your pic look better.

Saying that I have used the h4d 50 and 40 and WOW. Lets just say my 16gb card filled up in no time. Will be using it again this weekend. Cant wait.

Hopefully canon brings out the 5d3 which is probably more affordable. Guess I got now till march to save up for the 1dx.

Even still would love to see some proper reviews on it specially the focusing system. Looks very interesting.

Sidd what camera and lens did u use for that last shot?

I used a canon 5dm2 and all the pics except the wide shot of the house was taken with a 135L. The shot of the house was with a 24-70L.

Hope this helps.

Matt - nice shots of the landscape. I like the one with the ducks in the water.

How and why were u using a h4d sidd? Hire one or something? I'd love to play with one one day.

Thanks gtr, I've got one more shot to share from the Bisley shoot.

Thanks will, it was good to shoot some random stuff for a change. Back into it though, shooting a 34 with ztune kit and a 68 stand over the weekend :)

Yes it will still produce a sharp photo PROVIDING your settings are correct and focus is good.

Full Frame gives more depth and more dynamic range than a crop body (7D/50D/550D etc).

I hope this helps!

^ Yup what kory said. Having a better glass will improve your image quality, but you still need to get all the settings correct on the camera.

Another photographer I know has one so will be borrowing his. Not sure if you can hire one easily here from a camera/lens hiring place. Actually maybe sunstudios but no doubt it will be couple of k each day. The camera is worth like 15-20k upwards depending on which model.

nice nice. i'd like to play around /watch someone use one properly one day. how did u find the tethering? Time consuming and annoying, or helpful?

Glass will help. Sensor in body will help. But what helps most is the tog. You can only polish a turd so much. :P

who has the better camera fight....funny as

edit: what do they mean by saying eg: "135L is too long", do they mean u have to stand back further from the subject to get in the frame ?

lol wow thats alot of money wasted

"135L is too long" - Whoever said that means he thinks he needs to stand too far away from the subject to get them into the photo.

Awesome photo Sidd... Lots of emotion... really helps having such a sharp photo

Edited by wilorichie

Who said the 135L was too long? Well its a fixed prime lens so if you want to take a wide of something or fit a big group of people then it will be hard. You can take several steps back, but I normally use that lens for portraits or candid shots when I dont want to be in peoples faces.

If I were you, I would purchase the 70-200f4L lens. Super sharp and you will probably love the zoom factor. Also its not that expensive either. Go for that lens first before the 135L.

Cheers Richie.

Matt - fark you posing like a model bro!!! Time to create a page on MM :P hahahah

Latest blog post: 60% of shots taken with the 135L :)

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

Haha, my light painting kit just got an upgrade with some nice jaycar goodness. Now to find the time to use it, lol.

Gave the pano head a trial run today. Not sure if i found the nodal point properly, but wherever I moved it seemed to be working fine :confused:

(not that it matters, nothing is very straight with my setup, haha)

anyway, shot this today. spewing I didnt get a full 180 degree view in tho, had a play with some 360 deg pano viewers and this would have looked awesome if it wasnt missing a bit of sky and sand, lol

20111020-100645_P.thumb.JPG

link to larger version (600px max height)

will try and get some sort of pano viewer set up on my site soon

(oh, and panos that involve things like water are a pain in the ass :P)

Edited by Jay019

Great stiching job jay. Just looked at the bigger version. Look forward to seeing more from you.

Richie - Which pic? The one on the blog for that wedding? The first pic of the couple was probably around f11-f16, 1/160th, iso 400. Cant remember now but will have to check exif.

For the reception shots with the 135L, then it would be f2.8-f4. Hope this helps in some way? But dont follow my settings, there are other factors involved as well like ISO, shutter speed, flash settings.

But if you have specfic questions in regards to lighting etc then let me know.

Just checked out your website and noticed you do business card printing.. hmmm could be interested :)

Try a pano on a closer subject J. that will help u work out if nodal point is right. it looks close if not spot on though :)

I'm a model now. I'm gonig to put it up on a new website. Matts Models.. bypass model mayhem and go PRO :P I wish i could watermark my model shots with a special model watermark to proove i'm PRO.

here's a couple more jet ones...

not the sharpest, but the colours in the sky/across plane are to good to ignore!

I'm dangerous. Who wants to be my wingman? ;)

    • 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.
