^ Absolutely fantastic pics Matboy.

Only thing I would change in that last S15 pic is the shade of tyre colour. Just a curve adjustment on the black to make it a tad darker and blend in sexy with the shadows.

But who am I to give advice to the pro's. Love your work as always.

dude hope you holding on to something when you got your legs over the edge lol. Nice shots man :)

Nice lighting dan!! cool shot.

Flat out lately. Going to have no life till end of December. Anyone want to come assist me on some shoots (specially my pre-wedding shoots as I need someone to hold my lights etc).

Some randoms..

From a e-shoot:

Two light setup. Einstein in BD (gelled to match sunset), and 430exii as rim light (not gelled). Hmm time to upgrade to 600exii and use its gel holder feature lol :P

One light setup. Einstein in BD boomed way up high.

Slow shutter speed to bring in more ambient light. Very quick shot of the couple before reception started.

Up in Newcastle.

Sun as rim light.

Here you go another natural light shot.

Plenty more pics.. But that will do for now.

Actually one more..

An amazing belly dancer at last nights event. Cropped head and the other lady off to the right (cant show faces just yet).

But half way thru the act she was balancing a sword on her belly and head.

Two light setup again.

Some cool shots up there guys.

Rest can be seen: http://richardgraing...le-and-rowan/22 if interested

Sup man.. With this shot get the groom to kiss around her neck area. Get them closer and ask her to bring her chin up. Will look much better (just my opinion).

Otherwise nice work.

Well guys my effort this month hasn't been nearly the grade that you folks do. Please feel free to give me some tips and pointers.

I went to WTAC this year with the focus on getting a few good shots. I found the night photography/panning especially tricky to get the settings right. I figured the only way to learn is to keep working at it until I find some things that start to work. My panning skills are nearly up to snuff with you fellas so at night every little wobble really throws the focus.

I feel like I learned a bit but wow - really get an appreciation for the guys that can get those extra extra clear night panning shots.

Eric, come find me next time you've got your camera and there's moving targets around. :)

I was getting some sharp shots at 1/5th during the drifting! Still, looked like balls on my crappy sensor though. Oh well, almost upgrade time!

So I entered the Photo5 comp with this. The theme was Wind.

    • 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"
