OK, as I mentioned I wasn't that impressed with the Vivid Festival this year, but on the way into the city I used the opportunity to make sure my new GoPro was working - I bought one last year and it died completely (wouldn't turn on at all), so it was replaced under warranty.

It's my first attempt at a time-lapse, and more an experimentation than anything else. It could have been much better, but it could have been much worse too. Apparently the HD Hero2 deals with low light a lot better than the original. I might buy one later on to supplement this one...

Anyway...

Dan - Lovely portrait there!!! Keen to see more. Just watch the light bleeding from the flash you used to light up the background.

I think I'll try putting up some foam core temp walls to stop the leaking light. Waiting on two more elinchrom units to use so it will help.

Had a go at the car lights thing for the 1st, didnt have the right equipment but thought id still have a crack anyway

Yeah, that's not bad at all. The beauty of taking these shots is that you don't really need any special equipment at all, beyond a camera that can take long exposures, and a tripod or something else that's steady to keep the camera from moving during the shot.

5-8 sec, wasn't too much traffic lol

Cheers

Could you have gone higher? 25 seconds or so?

The photo I did of my car on the last page was 25 Seconds I think, I changed halfway through and changed back

Nice shots. It's hard to take photos of boring things and make them look good when mucking around, good stuff....

Vivid.....

The light shooting into the sky off the Opera house looks awesome :)

i recommend looking into white balance too, bit orange ;)

give tungsten white balance a go, or if you can set the K value manually try between 2000 and 3000

took this shot using RAW + JPG and was too lazy to process the RAW versions :P

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
