Sidd - The first photo in the blog with the low temp/blueish colours

I was just curious about how open you generally use your lens

I do print jobs but its mainly for my mates/good clients. I generally turn down print jobs to people that call me up out of the blue because it is a waste of time really haha. I only do it because it helps my friends and good clients get cheap high quality prints with my printing accounts. If you need something give me a buzz - But for a photographer like yourself, I would highly suggest at least a matt with even spot uv. I use matt lams with spot uv - client's always 'wow' over them hehe... all about portraying yourself highly in my line of work. Clients must be impressed with everything!

Matt, love the first pic - very cool

Well in regards to that photo im sure it was around f11-f14, maybe even f18 exposing for the background and keeping some details in the clouds.

Sometimes you dont have the time or space to take lighting with you so you have to use natural light.. and well I guess in this case the background was overexposed as I was trying to get the exposure correct on the girls.

Also generally i would use zoom lens to do group shots, but I was on a small wharf thingy and if I took a step back I would be in the water so had to use my wide lens. Nothing you can really do sometimes.This was probably f4, iso 1600. Metered for the brides face, got a reading.. then exposed for the brides flower.. and then shot away knowning what it should be around. But then the white flowers got overexposed but I think its fine.

In regards to the business card - yea my last one was matt but no spot uv. Still got some left but I will let you know. But why would you turn down print jobs? Maybe increase your prices to make it worthwhile?

Again, cool photo :D The white flowers look fine...I wouldn't of noticed they where overexposed if you didn't mention it :P I was too busy looking at faces and the colourful flowers.

Quality printing is generally touchy stuff so I only do it for those that appreciate it - As I was saying, I only do it to help those out that need it. Save them a few bucks, otherwise I would rather stick to what I do best.

WINNER???

i shouldve won.

just because i dont know 11 billionty people on facebook.

jk

nice work matt, impressive as always.

Nice lighting stand.. Love it.

Matt - excellent shot there.

pretty much straight out of the camera. No editing to skin/face.. or any blurry bits added in.. just resized and sharped and increased the orange a bit. That's it..

More of these series to come :)

Time to go into the city at night and experiment more.

What type of lizard is that? Nice capture of it.

Richie - Nice soft light in the 2nd one. Little angled but all good. Nice image :)

F18, ISO 800, 1/160th. Should have had it at iso100 but you learn from your mistakes. Could have got a bit more sky into it.

Einstein+BD at near full power.

    • 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.
