^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. :/

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.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
