^ thanks man :)

You can tell with the first model that she has a bit of experience specially with her pose. The way she has bent her knee and tucked her toe. Learn this pose and direct other models with not much experience (in the future if you do more model shoots). Two excellent pictures and look forward to seeing more.

My cc is for the 2nd pic. Not sure if that pose is working for me. I know its a natural candid shot of her smiling, but I dont think the way she is standing is flattering. Also a bit of fill light would have been good to see more of her eyes.

Ragnhild (on the right) was her first time doing something like this. No amount of explaining could get the 'awkwardness' out of her, she just needs more and more practise.

They both had lots of fun though (I did too!). I have a few more shots.

Thanks Pat :) Yeah your car looks familiar!

Richie - I'm with Sidd on the first set. The second photo looks like it was really awkward and she doesn't know what to do with her arms. It's always hard getting the pose right and i admit i struggle with it sometimes as i'm a n00b to all that as well.

In the second set you have posted, love the first shot. Though i think it would look better if her head/face was looking towards you, maybe a bit behind and her arms were up near her head. A tighter shot would make it look really nice too.

Sorry to sound kind of "harsh" but i think this thread needs a bit more CC. It seems to be that it is just "yeah good shot.... now look at mine" type of thing. We can't all get better if we just keep agreeing.

Feel free to tear my shots to pieces!

thats awesome dan the man!

ever since printing a couple of the light paintings i made i have always thought they were too dark to display in a gallery. till now...

So most grooms arrive on a horse but yesterday I photographed one arriving on a boat!!!! Not just any small boat but think I heard someone say its 35 ft? Lots of bhangra dancing on the boat while cruising in the harbour :) Had so much fun!!

Horse example:

During the wedding ceremony I had time to "pick on people" (I like to call it) and capture emotions/expression of a single person in large group of people. I'm really trying to hoon my skills on this. I'm sure everyone can capture group of people laughing or smiling but I want to do something different.

Every single person apart from the little kid is looking towards the front, but this little boy had his own thoughts. Perhaps he was staring at me trying to figure out what I was doing in the corner away from everyone. Or perhaps just an innocent kid just staring at me and not thinking about anything. This is what I want to show in my images. That is show the emotion of one person in a large group that sets them apart from others.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
