I have quiet the interest in modifying JDM vans.

El Grands in particular.

Some might think it's impractical and 'why-would-you-do-that-to-a-van'...

I quiet like it as a cruiser.

Thanks Callan!

Love the bridge closeup Matt and congrats once again on the Zen Garage opening last Thurs.

If anyone is in the Leichhardt area they should go check it out. http://zengarage.com.au/2012/02/zen-garage-gallery-opening-night/

has any here tried a lightning trigger to capture lightning during storms?

Nope, John, have you found anything? Do they look easy to set up?

I'm kinda keen (and have been searching) for an "intervalometer" which is a remote with a timer built in. With our Canons, we can also run the interval timer off a computer using the Canon software included with the camera, but having to lug even a laptop (and its power supply so it stays on long enough) around everywhere and keep it plugged in would be a PITA.

Oh, and seeing as I haven't contributed in ages, here's a few that I took a few weeks back... These two kids are brother and sister. Both are very cute and very photogenic!

This first shot, I was trying to get a natural candid shot, but little Andre knew a camera was being pointed towards him, so he was watching me from the corner of his eye.

Chicken!!! Om-nom-nom-nom-nom.

By the time the lightning has struck, your camera has realised and clicked I'd be suprised if you even got half the shot in. Unless it was a super bright/long crack.

Best method I think is just to have super fast fire, and shoot when you expect it. I could be wrong, but lightning happens pretty quicky.

Nicks, You need to tidy up the white balance on all the last 3 shots. I'll show you when i come over later on.

Here's a wallpaper shot. Can be found through my sig if you're clever :P (and can be botheredd)

Yeah ive been looking at some recently and while they seem good im just not convinced that they are work it, they rance from about $100 to $350 from what ive found. the ones ive been looking have a hot shoe mount and then plug into where the remote shutter cable goes,

I believe that depending on the model you buy as to how quick it reacts. they seem to vary in sensitivity so you can either set it only to shoot when there is bit flases or set for for smaller ones. but i agree with Mat in thnking the reaction time may not be fast enough to get a decent shot, hence why i thought i would try and find someone thats used one, i dont really want to spend the money on one if its not going to do the job.

But on the other hand if it does work well then it would make the task of captureing lightning a whole lots easier.

I will continue to investigate anyway and see if i can come to a conclusion on these things.

even easier is to just have the camera take a long exposure at the time you think lightening might flash. 80/100 ISO, f22, 5-10 sec etc. only issue with this method is if there is too much lightening, but you can always put your hand or something in front of the lens to 'stop' the exposure. ive seen some epic shots from lightening triggers, there was a vid somewhere, i'll try and find it again

EDIT: i guess this would only work at night tho, lol

Love that opera house shot matt. So clean and simple. Love it :)

Been an extremely busy month and haven't posted anything lately.

Photographed 5 weddings in the past 3 weeks!!!

Just some randoms and teasers from the days:

One of the biggest challenges I have found with weddings is turning a boring location into something usable. Basically just weeds and grass growing in this park but still looks nice.

Do you usual tight close up smiley/lovey shots.. but then the bigger landscape shots.. what do you do? Just find an interesting angle that you wouldn't normally think off.

So I got this shot below.. Makes weeds looks sexy lol

Sometimes just taking a simple pic in the middle of the photo can be effective:

Love taking Mehendi shots:

Sometimes you gonna come across videographers who use flood lights. Nothing you can do about it:

IMG_9654_resize.jpg

Biggest example was when I shot a wedding in India: http://sidd-rishi.com.au/blog/2/overseas/highlights-from-my-cousins-wedding/

Tho I do find that sometimes it can help, but just hate the colour cast you get.

If you dont get in there you will miss out on lots of key shots.

Basically the brides side of the family demanding money for his shoes. Gets pretty funny :) Oh and check out the video guy in the back nearly falling over lol.

love this shot Sidd. Its only recently that I've started to appreciate wider angle shots in places where the norm is to get in close.

Such an awesome location! lights made a slightly harsh shadow tho, no diffusion?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
