Very busy weekend.

All I need now is to purchase three more strobes, so I can easily blow out the background. Was just using 430exii and 580exii..

oh well always a next time.

she's hot. when we can milk her? :P Is that your roll out studio?

New stuff: Made a new 'Mattfrotto' light source to do the car with. Also I've been doing homework on colour theory.

Also, playing with grittier, darker images. I usually work hard to get everything clean/crisp/commercial. Need to break it up and mix it up a bit i think.

Nice, like the sound of that! I remember you posting a 'noisy' photo the other day. It was a sweet start :)

Fongy - Pretty sweet PP mate

Sidd - wholy crap, that is an awesome photo of the bride mate. Top job :)

Ah sweet.. Look forward to seeing more of those types of pics. Keep it up :)

Thanks Jay and Richie.. Much appreciated it.

Agree with matt said about jays pic. Your best yet I reckon. Love it :)

yeah, basically just hold the LED near the wall and move the light smoothly. doesnt always work perfect tho (top of the right ear on brain and the mountain behind him) but thats part of the fun. that and the night missions seeing awesome art on walls. its also not just the outlines but some of the fill/highlights also (just not in the above one as that piece was across from a brightly lit bikeway so i had to try and battle ambient light and the shadows it causes, so the fill didnt come out bright enough)

Looking good buddy! you need to show some of the original artists your work, they'd love it for sure! Puts a new light on their work.... get it? Oh I'm so funny.

anyway I took this last night. Been hanging to shoot something and my car was only a little bit dirty. It was good to crack out the strobes :) its been a while.

What length of time you open up for? I think the ambient light from street lights and stray light from the LED's cause me issues... with shadows created of my legs and such.

Do you ninja up in all black to reflect the least amount of light?! :woot:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
