Not exactly car pics... but heres some of my first pics in a long time.

Some of the friendly inhabitants of my backyard

^not wrong, specially considering its ISO 800. had no idea the d40x was so good at lower light stuff. but then again, it IS a nikon ;)

*que canon fanboys* :P

love the lizard shot Ben, awesome looking pets!

mattboy kills it yet again. the red behind the car in the front on shot tho, was that gelled flash?

love how the LED brings out the anodized metal in the wheel nuts and makes them really pop.

no new photos from me, suffering from being a mental case who can barely leave the house at the moment. :/

but i did take this the other night. (well, 3 in the morning :P) was going to due a full light painting on it, but realised it was wayyyy too technical, lol

would love to try again at some stage. pity its so far from home tho

ah matt, that first photo is tops. Love the yellow warning paint that goes across the car in the first photo. Makes the shot look like its from a movie/game

lol, too bad he didn't wash his car before hand though :P

just keep smashing pics out and it happens over time.

those leisure suit lounge lizards are cool. how open were you shooting. got some nice DOF happenin there.

The first pic was at f3.5 on my Tamron 28-75, and it was a pretty heavy crop but the detail isnt too jeopardised (atleast for web viewing).

The second two are with my friends infamously terrible Canon 75-300 III, and shot at f5.6.

Cheers for everyones comments on my previous pic. Slowly going through all my Europe photos so plenty more to come :)

A couple of photos from Lorne, VIC

so sharp, so crisp, nicely exposed. damn nice, sir.

Jay, can't you just get a torch and light the whole thing up, then paint extra over the words/parts you wanna bring out? You're old coloured LED graff paint on paint shots were cool. do more!

^agreed, awesome shots!

Jay, can't you just get a torch and light the whole thing up, then paint extra over the words/parts you wanna bring out? You're old coloured LED graff paint on paint shots were cool. do more!

that is what i did for the shot i posted, single LED headlight thing over 15 seconds. it was adding the highlights with colored LEDs where things went pear shaped. I kept forgetting which parts where which color and generally just screwing things up, lol. The most successful ones I have done were the ones with a less complex fill / fading to contend with. That said tho, keen to give it another go at some stage when im over that side of town.

Here are 4,500 photos I took a little while back.

EPIC!!! Thats awesome man. What did you shoot that with and did you use some kind of external power source?

Love the stops for quick photoshoots. Have you posted up any of those shots? Top stuff!

Spectacular photos guys, well done. So crisp!

Matt, you should seriously take those to some car manufacturers to see if they want some work done. I know a lot of them use overseas material and adapt for Oz, but that stuff looks 100% pro.

Josh, those are awesome, something I'd definitely buy and stick up on my wall. :thumbsup:

Jay, get out there man! That one from behind the screen actually makes me think of those warm summer days when you're looking out from inside the house, pondering what to do for the day, or just staying in and doing nothing at all.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
