I’ve decided to start an automotive section within my online photography portfolio. I’m not sure if it suits my folio, but Squarespace makes it easy and getting all the shots up there has been pretty painless.

Please note I’m by no means an Automotive Photographer! Most if not all of the shots are taken off-the-cuff for my personal blog and I’ve spent no time in post editing out trees, poles, reflections, etc.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hung out and shot with Donna today, a model from New York who’s agency represented (I feel lucky when models with management want to shoot with me in their spare time!).

She brought it! My lens couldn’t keep up with how she moved.

Post shoot and post conversations with Donna I find myself a little inspired to travel more at some point in my life. I’ve visited so many places, but not lived out of Sydney before. It’s got to happen!

Can’t quite spot it in this shot, but that’s Ved shooting the GT-R leaving the garage with his GoPro in a gimble (can’t wait to see the footage!).

Mitch from Haltech was there all day to work on the GT-R.

Loved watching the Powertune team run this car today, they’re pro!

powertune_r34gtr_wtac_justinfox_whisky
In case celebrations… but in reality the guys were plagued by fuel delivery issues and didn’t manage to get a solid lap in at all despite trying their best to solve the issue (which was unfortunately only identified after the last session!).

Steve’s GT-R shared a garage with this beauty.

r888r_justinfox_zengarage
In a garage a little further down were the Toyo guys! FAMILIA!

toyo_tyres__r888_testing1
They were testing the new R888R vs. the older R888 on this gorgeous (and damn loud!) Capella!

toyotesting
As expected, the new R888R is faster than the old R888. I’ll hopefully be able to post those results in a separate feature on Zen soon!

jdmyard_wtac_2015_eg_civic1
And a little further down again were my mates at JDMyard with their new look Honda EG Civic which has never ever been so badass.

holden
Loved spending a little one on one time with this classic (shame the rest of my shots of it didn’t turn out great though!).

Spent the day with Ved from Selectnine out at Sydney Motorsport Park yesterday (Ved was filming the Powertune R34 GT-R which won last year).

Was a great day out made especially special by a few World Time Attack Challenge cars in attendance. I was mostly just soaking up the atmosphere (the smells and sounds gahhhh), but I did rattle off a few shots. Can’t say I’m happy with many of them, but I love the one of the JDMyard EG Civic entering it’s garage from above.

Enjoy the shots, be sure to do whatever it takes to get your ass to World Time Attack this year, it’s going to be insane (we will be there with the Zen Stand of-course!).

Finally got to drop past Mike’s new Burger & Hip Hop Joint Belfield on Botany earlier today to try out their cheeseburger, and it didn’t disappoint! Love the shop, the feel, the vibe, the crew and the location too as it’s just 10 minutes away from my place!

Mike runs PlusSixOne, a label which we used to stock at Zen Garage. He’s outdone himself with Belfield, such an awesome job!

PS: The burger sat in my tummy so nice. Gotta love clean food (I didn’t suffer from a food coma post meal).

Fluval Edge 2 – Redline Cleaner Shrimp

Posted on 18 September, 2015 by Justin Fox

redline
Hey little guy!

I’ve finally pulled the trigger on a Redline Cleaner Shrimp! These guys are VERY expensive for us in Australia (cheap for everyone in the US). I’ve wanted one for years, but back then they were hard to come by and fetched crazy prices. Even now I’ve seen them for sale at $160, $150 most of the time. Adam, the guy I buy my natural sea water off (he delivers!) put one up on his facebook page for $100 and now he’s mine!

To Macro or not to Macro

I’ve had a taste and I like it! I took this shot with the a7S fitted with a cheap plastic eBay macro ‘reverse ring’. I’ll begin my search for a proper macro lens soon.

JBJ 20 Frag Tank – Kessil 160WE Tuna Blue

I had a few really awesome options in regards to what light to run on my frag tank. The best performing light would have been a Nano Box Duo from the US, but I’m a fussy guy and I really wasn’t so sure I wanted that look. Ultrabright, the guys (also in the US) who make my current custom LED unit on the Fluval Edge 2 tank offered to send me out a new upgraded light they’re working on but I had to wait a while to even see the design of the light. And then there’s the Kessil which I really like the look of (I have a thing for spotlights!).

The Age of Aquariums (an online retailer) had 15% store wide so I made the purchase, only to find out they’re out of stock and it would be 2-3 weeks before the light gets to me. I dropped in the Aquaristic today and they had one in stock but had no goosenecks (the clamp I need to attach it to the tank!) in stock! Grrr! The guys were super helpful but and they’ve lent me one of their own gooseneck clamps to use in the meantime until they come back in stock! Legends!

I’ve installed the light and the shimmer is SO intense it’s bouncing off the walls and ceiling too… I’m not sure I’m going to be able to handle it! I’ve only got it on 50% power too! LOVE the ability to just turn the big metal knobs to adjust colour and intensity. They feel like good quality and have a nice solid movement to them. Very happy! Sitting here on the couch and seeing all 3 tanks from the one spot I think the Kessil wins for a certain quality and depth to how it lights up the water.
