READ MY BLOG OR ZOMBIES WILL FUCK YOU UP - I SWEAR!

Also selling my Nikon SB-28 so I can buy a pair of YN460ii's and use them for their optical slave. SB has been modded with 2.5mm mono audio jack so it can be used with PW's, Cybersyncs, YN's etc.. with an audio lead instead of shitty, expensive PC sync cables.

Here's the set-up in case anyone was wondering. Dead easy, basic style which I think still gives nice flattering, stylish images (anyone disagree?).

STU with 580ex2 at 1:4, 540ez as rim on 1:32 and YN460II as BG on 1/8.

I use it with my AC strobe (as in AC powered) because it's massive, more like a 'window light' rather than a softbox, idea being, massive fill and then sculpting with speedlites. 32"x48" (80cmx120cm) $40 off ebay in a Bowens mount, as I have the universal to Bowens adapter that fits my beauty dish too. Only use the 20" with a speedlite.

Oh and I'm back from my 4000km road trip. My poor new work car, left my house 10 days ago, it being 10 days old and having 600km's now it's got a touch over 4000 tongue.gif

Ta. more to come for the p365. Just having time now we're back and have to buy tons of stuff to live off again and get some PP in is hard when I haven't really touched a computer except to DD some money for like 11 days I think.

BUT, now I have a manual boost controller & an engine roll brace to install and photos to finish! Oh and work sad.gif

P.s. Anyone in brisbane wanna buy my PC? I'm going to build a new one.

Specs are... (as far as I'm aware)

AMD Athlon 5200+ Dual core. (Includes Thermaltake 'Silent Power'/Something-similar-named CPU cooler, looks like this : http://aphnetworks.com/review/thermaltake_...nt_1156/009.jpg
Gigabyte GA-M52S-S3P (has RAID 0 & 1, probs 5 as well), HQ sound SPDif, tons of USB2 ports etc.. [http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2611&dl=1#sp]
6GB DDR2 800mhz ram
2 DVD burners
GENUINE Windows Vista Home 32bit (Installed on a HDD if you so desire but probs only a 40gb/80gb drive, what I have laying around)
Netgear WG311T Wireless network card (108mbps)
5port PCI USB expansion card (totals to like 11 USB2 ports I think)
Coolermaster GLite case
Microsoft Wireless USB kit (USB dongle etc..) Mouse & Keyboard (that has those handy mail, web, msn, music buttons and volume, next etcc for windows media player). I think they called this kit the Wireless Desktop 1000 or 2000 when I got it.
Big 120mm case fan and two more 80mm case fans.
Tagan PSU, 450w I think. Cable-tidy styled cables.

Pretty much the whole tower minus video card and hard drives (as I run raid1 800gb's and a Nvidia GTS260 card, if you're interested in these items let me know and we'll work on a price for that). Guaranteed no blown caps etc..

Bottom Line for a capable gaming/PP pc $250. (Case brand new is $80, 6GB of DDR2 is still around the $100 mark, that's almost the asking price right there!)

Around the $700 mark. I didn't get the BEST of anything in particular but I got a new case which I didn't need and the ram has heatsinks on them etc.. so I'd say it's a moderate PC. My Nvidia GTX260-216 still beats some $200 cards around so I didn't bother upgrading it.

About to install CS4, I'm a tad worried it wont really impress me, have to try and play with one of my pano's as they're the biggest files at a couple hundred MB per PSD.

After a bit of a dead spell I think I'm back. Lets call it a siesta. Promotion at work means I'm an office-bitch, which sucks because it's an hour trip to and fro not including picking up and dropping my wife at work means tired Nick.

Oh and en epic update here.

CLICK IT OR YOUR MOUSE WILL TURN INTO A ROBOT WHICH WILL GO CRAZY AND SHIT LIKE THAT MOVIE, YOU KNOW, THE ONE WITH THE ROBOTS AND SHIT...> I swear.
