My first shot for this year. It's amazing how a couple of stacked extension tubes can affect a Macro shot. This is using my Canon 60D, a Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, and three Kenko tubes stacked together (12mm, 20mm and 36mm). This is shot at f/7.1 and there is still some DoF fall-off towards the edges of the shot.

This was from an engagement session yesterday. I've uploaded a few more to my site @ http://richardgrainger.com.au/story/brisbane-couple--nathan-and-chantelle/40?rf=saucn

Love that shot Nickson!

Thanks mate!

Thanks Richie, your shot is awesome too. Love how a natural canopy of trees can frame something so well.

BTW, the clockspring on that stopwatch in my shot is only about 6mm across at the widest part. I'll take another photo in the next few days to compare it to a 10c coin or something to give it a sense of scale.

I have to admit, I understood it was a macro photo, but I had no idea 6mm. That is absolutely insane, I imagined 10-15cm to be honest. Do you have to manual focus (I'm imaging almost a guess and check) on a tripod to do that?

Thought I would post a recent shot I took of Gibraltar Falls in the ACT. I applied an oil painting effect in Photoshop and was pleased with the result as it really shows the different textures and colors in the shot. Hope you like it.

Not really up to Par, but I dont mind it anyway :P

Canon 550D 50mm f/1.8

It's a bit scrappy, and I know the faults it has, but it was a quick shot to celebrate being 1 step closer to having an engine built :)

<p>There's no par brother, we're not golfing in here. Share, discuss, help, improve.<br />

Not much wrong with that shot anyway, fair enough it's not brochure material but I can one piston is sharp as. I can read the text and i can see more stuff in the back. it's good i reckon.</p>

<div>Back at work so it's time to start sharing again :) May as well start with some car stuff. Even if it's not a fast car :P</div>

<div>Playing around with the borrowed car at a few locations across the road trip and also trying to work out how to exploit the new camera.</div>

Just wish it was straighter, other then that its pretty cool :)

What was that Hyundai thing like? I saw someone else went on that, cant remember the details but I think it was a prize of some sort?

Some nice photos anyway, can't say I'm really a fan of the car but still good

Its getting closer and closer to March, I'm pretty keen to get some F1 shots in Melbourne, can't wait for that

Really be jumping in the deep end as I've never taken any fast moving shots like that but its the best way to learn I guess.

pretty shitty pano really, handheld and didnt have the patience to wait till the waves were in the same spots due to bare feet on burning hot sand, haha.

camera is now back with its new owner. was a great weekend, back to boring dole life, lol.

Edited by Jay019

its a good angle Jay, but i expect nothing less than that from you.

Probably some of the last shots I'll post from the old D90. Shot at the end of a long track day. not taken in jan but only getting around to working on some older stuff now.

Hey folks, here are a few from my holiday in Vietnam & Thailand. I'll post up some more later but don't want to whore up the place like I do some times :D

I know this next shot isn't up to par but the coach bus was traveling along at about 80kph as I was trying to get the shot on horrible bumpy roads through Vietnam. This is Hue (same location was used in the Top Gear Vietnam Special).

Nice work Pezzy! They're all pretty good :) 3 and 4 are my favs:) Keep sharing across the weeks. dribble it out, maybe work on one or two shots at a time, post for feedback, then rinse repeat?

took this on my break from work, Empress Falls, Blue Mountains.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
