and why does it need to look good? it seems to work perfectly how it is, lol

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!

JAY GOTZ A J.O.B.??????????????????????? f**kIN RAD!!!!!!!!! Good work man. Nice shots too :D

This is something from a meet. was trying a few random things while i was stuck at home today. Feedback on the style is appreciated...

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.

oh and cant forget my cousins wedding I photographed two weeks ago:

One from a pre-wedding event:

Indians love to party it up before the big day :)

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?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
