    My Trip to Antarctica

    Truely amazing post. I wish my company would send me on trips like this; I've just come back from South Africa with the tip of my right middle finger missing due to an accident. Really appreciate the effort you've gone to, to write this post.

    Gear recommendation for a city trip to NY??

    Did you not feel like you'd been mugged? I did. Most efficent camera shop I've ever been to, without question. They have your money off you in no time at all. Opening question as soon as you walk through the door is, "here to buy or browse". If you chose the latter, you're out of the door, item...

    Rear wheels getting covered in more brake dust than the fronts?

    Mine do this. Also had 4 set of pads in 20k miles. Think I may have a problem...

    I'm leaving this Saturday night, for 2 weeks but will be working 12-14 hours a day until the job is finished so can't really say when I could enjoy that beer, sadly. Plenty of overtime though so not all bad. Airbus A380 on the way out too :cool:

    Nikon f1.4 lens

    Do you want f/1.4 for extra shallow DOF? I ask as that's the only reason I would want the 1.4 over the much cheaper f/1.8. If it's extra light gathering then just up the ISO a third of a stop, you won't really notice on a modern SLR.

    Car has just broke its self :(

    Stop driving? You can get a lot of buses / taxis for that :eek: Do the brakes still work? Keep driving it until MOT runs out then scrap it?

    Photoshop Guru's - Help... (pic heavy)

    They look very high-key too me; over exposed you could say. Ask yourself where all that light would be coming from to make the scene that bright? Under the desk in the 1st pic, it's as bright as above it. In reality that wouldn't be the case.

    Car has just broke its self :(

    Why will the insurance be any more, apart from maybe an administration charge, as long as you get a similar car?

    It's Benoni that I will be going to, so not too far from you I guess?

    Few pics taken, Improvements?

    I see the top was shot at ISO 1600, 1s@f/7.1. I think that's your biggest problem here, you need lower ISO and longer exposure time, possibly also stopping the lens down a little more for best sharpness.

    200 Cup insurance cheaper than my 182 insurance!?

    ^^ it's this over analising of the satistics of car insurance that boils my piss. Where will it end? Why don't the people with the least chance of making a claim get free insurance, if, those that WILL make a claim have to pay so much? I know what Gally and others might say about it not being...

    Worst Steering wheel refurb ever

    I like how he knows the 2 previous owners didn't smoke. I must of missed that tick box on my V5.

    Keeping it strictly N/A

    Does the rule for standard induction system not rule out ITB's? Without forced induction that would of been your main source of power increase I'd of thought, along with cams. I believe this can be done on the standard management, but somebody else who'll know a lot more than me will be better...

    Hi DevOes, where are you from? I'm more than likely going out to Jo'burg with work in the next couple of weeks. Have a search round on this site - most of your questions should be answered.

    Yeah, I get that, but the loading times have stopped me playing on a few occasions.

    [PC/XB360/PS3] The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

    Just a heads up: a mate at work mentioned to turn off the autosave to speed up the loading times on consoles. Seems obvious when you think about it, but it hadn't occured to me :clown:

    Converting Vinyl and cassette to MP3

    If you still have something to play the vinyl and cassettes on, then a cheap 2nd hand soundcard off ebay will do the job as long as you can get the signal into the card. I've thrown away soundcards that could do this all day long. If you have onboard sound you may not have the input required...

    First attempt at "panning" @ Snetterton

    I was expecting these to be a lot worse than they are, from the title of the thread. Some pretty good shots there, from a 'technique' point of view. As others have pointed out, better understanding of the metering and camera settings would of improved them a fair bit, as would some post...

    Expected a rally car to destroy a golf course. Dissapointed.

    Your Favorite/worst Racing Sim?

    This is the deffinative list, +1 Out of that Richard Burns Rally for me. It wasn't the graphics or the cars, but the brilliant way they mapped the force feedback to the wheel. You could steer the car with the throttle almost blindfold, such was the depth of feeling you got through the wheel...

    Windscreen Washer pump

    Underneath IIRC. Motor factors should have cheap generic replacements.

    Rear Wiper won't work properly.

    Mine did this until I read on here about a bodge whereby you can file some of the plastic away where the arm pivots. This allows the arm to articulate more and sweep more of the screen. It does work, but may require a bit of trial and error. Search on here for the the thread that includes...

    next gen rumours/news/facts

    They need to seriously cut the loading times on the next gen consoles. Skyrim is awful; makes me not want to open a door because of it.

    Driving in the dark.

    Had a new nissan pixo curtesy car from a garage last year for a couple of days. When going from dipped to full beam, the lights would go off completly for a fraction of a second. Scarry. Terrible car.
