except it's ugly from the front (it looks pretty sweet from the back), and I'm guessing FWD?

And a V6 accord is faster... way faster. 270hp.

I was referring to the 4 cylinder accord :yes:

Accord: 2.4 liter DOHC four-cylinder engine putting out 190 HP and 162 lb-ft torque

Kizashi: 2.4-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine putting out 185 HP and 170 lb-ft of torque

how do you get front row to all these shows all the time?

I get photopasses, so I'm able to go in front of the barrier right in front of the stage and in front of the people there watching and I can shoot there. I shoot for magazines and websites.

That's pretty cool. I'm guessing you're an established photographer in your area.

Now, here are some more photos from Alejandra's shoot the other day:

Cool clouds!

I've got one here, a test shot for a photo I hope to porduce for submission to a photography competition (forensic photogs only). Needs to be tighter and possibly even shot from above instead of below and I'm going to float powder to make the torch beam come out in the photo and likely change the contaminant (make it like blood stained hands sliding down the wall instead of just spatter) - it's two pics spliced together (more details in the Flickr page).

It's called "Scene/Unseen"

Very nice shot Bald. However since you say you're going to re-shot, Couple of ideas maybe.

1. Flash seems Harsh, casting a really bad shadow. Though don't know how much you can take this into account because of your line of work

2. The black hinges on the garage door are distracting not to mention all of that other stuff way on the right.

3. Maybe include crime scene article, eg instead of a wall, shoot a pair of shoes or a bloody kitchen knife in a set of knives. Or a person in a jail lineup flashed with that same light. (edit: something that tells a story)

4. Lend me that flashlight :p ?

Again I dunno if you're allowed to be more creative or not, are you supposed to be shooting more "work-like" pictures? Because at the beggining the photo did draw my attention, but then, when view large in flickr, It felt uninteresting.

Hope any of what I said is useful and good luck at the competition!

Cheers, Guppy (and it's Badl btw if you wanna shorten it - or just Malc lol)

Yeah, the flash is harsh. Did these images on the fly, didn't have time to set up the sb800s or other creative lighting, really just trying to see how the idea looks.

I intedned to shoot tighter at the torch lit area and should get rid of the bumpf on the right - dunno bout the hinges though, means finding another suitable area I can throw fingerprint powder water around without it being a right hassle to clean up.

I had thought about a low level shot looking up towards the fancy coloured bit with a marker board and maybe a (fingerprint powdered) knife but I don't know - I may try a few ideas like that but I really want it to fit the title "Scene/Unseen" in that the "cool" bit should be what is revealed under the torch with the rest of the image being "normal" - maybe even requires losing me from the shot.

I'll hopefully, get a coupl of hours to mess about this coming week and produce something worthwhile (watch this space! lol)

Oy Dislexic mofo :| :p I just realized your nick is BAD and not Bald, Every time I saw one of your posts I kept thinking "what does he mean by bald-dragon" :wacko: Yeah I kinda figured out why you were using the garage door once I read your flickr explanation on the shot. The idea is sweet, like I said in my previous post, it really got my attention but then up large I got distracted. Although on the lighting bit, I was think you should avoid using flash altogether if possible, like when you arrive at a scene do you setup lights? Just ideas , good luck :)

yea the ISO capabilities is great on the 5D Mark II.

Did a shoot today.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
