Michael shots look great - some CC maybe set the white and blacks in either photoshop or lightroom to give the image the full tonal range. The images look great just lack that little extra punch!!! Only being super critical anyway

love that first one Josh!

but any reason you used auto white balance in the bottom pic? would look awesome if wb was set properly (and horizon was 1/3 or 2/3 instead of in the middle)

to tell the truth i have no idea about how to set the white balance correctly for a shot like that let alone at all. The castle shot was really hard as the lighting was from so many different sources and so many different colour temperatures :( Want to teach me haha

with night scenes tungsten seems to work best i found. on the D90 the white balance button is on the back (3rd from the top on the left, labelled WB/?/Key) just press it and give each setting a try. you'll eventually get a feel for which one works best in which light. i remember on the d90 you can set the white balance as a K value, that helps really dial it in, just give a few different settings a try. ken rockwell gives a good rundown on white balance. all i know about it is the camera tends to need a hand in artificial light. http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/whitebalance.htm

EDIT: Nice Rhys, some sweet shutter dragging going on!

love the bottom one....

Some randoms from recent shoots:

So the girls wouldn't let the groom into the gurdwara unless he payed up. So after a few minutes of haggling a price (which the girls declined) he decided to get his credit card out. Priceless moment!!

Had a huge success from my first photobooth session :) Cant wait to do another one. Even a 3m wide roll wasnt wide enough for big group shots.

Will post up more soon. But the shot below is just showing my setup.

Nice capture there CPD.

Jay - Love the 1st and the last one. The simplicity and vibrancy is awesome.

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
