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???

that comp was rigged.

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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
