The last month of cold nights, heaters, snotty noses and good turbo weather!

Got some gig photos here from Friday night.

Alright, I took some of these shots waaaaay back in May the night before our guests from Albuquerque, New Mexico headed home. The Festival of Lights was on here in Sydney, so it was a good opportunity to experiment with my little Ricoh Caplio R4 and decided if I should really step up, bite the bullet and get that Canon D-SLR I'd been considering for ages...

These shots have had very little post-prod work done on them, and at that only using the tools in MS Live Gallery. I've only just got my hands on a copy of PhotoShop CS3 and am (very slowly) learning to use that.

This one should have been reset so the horizon was level, but meh...

As mentioned, all these shots were done on my little Ricoh using a small Joby "Gorillapod" tripod and long exposures. I was really happy with the results, so on the way home from the airport after dropping off our guests I snapped up a twin-IS kit Canon 450D.

Roy those shots look amazing!!! I'm jealous too, wish i could go there

And godzilla i like your second pic the most i think (maybe cos i went there one time...)

[GoldZilla]

Great shots, Roy, but I've gotta ask: WTF is that in the background of this picture, behind the building? It looks like a cross between mountain ranges and a too-close-for-comfort moon...

[ZENNON]

Yeah it’s a mountain/cliff

*warning vague generalisation* quite common in some of the mountain areas in Europe

[Sl!m]

I thought it was just clouds :S

New lens testing session - EF 17-40mm F4L

[Xmetal]

Couple of HDR's for good measure.

[Lepperfish]

Nice one Ian.... How are you finding the 17-40 ? What body are you using it on?

I'm deciding whether to get this or the 16-35 or even the 15mm fish eye...

Cheers...

17-40mm + EOS 350D

There's nothing in it when it comes to zoom length and wide angle between the 17-40mm and 18-55mm however it focuses much faster, is much sharper and just feels nicer in general.

16-35mm Vs. 17-40mm - is it really worth the extra coin for 1 stop?

I dinno man. Are you gunna use that lens on FF soon. Otherwise why didnt ya go the 10-22?

Ive heard heaps of mixed reviews about the 17-40 and 16-35 on FF bodies thats all....

[siddr20]
