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:

IMG_9670_resize.jpg

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:

IMG_7277_resize.jpg

IMG_7335_resize.jpg

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?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
