April Photo Thread

Okay. Actual full size replica of the Titanic. 25 million dollar building in my home town area. =)

I visited it and the Liverpool Legends were there (Endorsed by Louise Harrison - George Harrison's sister) which is the best cover band for The Beatles.

So here are some (very few) pictures that I have from that. I will be putting more up when I get a chance.

And if you want terrible lighting, go to a concert of some sort... lol

What's cool is that they have ACTUAL stuff from the Titanic, and people come about who were relatives from the actual crew etc. They also have a 100% authentic 1 million $ replica of the staircase from the Titanic. Talk about an amazing place, this thing is neat as hell. Thought you guys would love it, too bad it didn't make it for real =(

Wow, that's really impressive! So can you actually go on board and have a look around? Definately something worth doing if I ever go to America.

[AKW]

Yes, you can ACTUALLY see what it WAS like to be ON the Titanic...

Something else amazing is... if you DO come here to see that, ever. Your tickets would cost you 22.0893 AUD per adult. Which is AMAZING.

lol @ $22.0893

[AKW]

That's the actual amount mate, I looked it up on XE.

That way I knew what you would have to pay EXACTLY. That's it. =)

Not as if you have money that works at .0893 but still.

Haha, $22.0893 is a lol expensive. $22.0372 is about my budget...

[AKW]

You do realize that is a POINT and not a COMMA correct? Just making sure... lol

I just want to make entirely sure...

anyone else try it? my oldschool film minolta SLR used to have it.

[Sl!m]

woah flash back to playing with old cameras in the 90's 80's `

I took these two shots (amongst others) the other day while I was at my cousin's house for Easter lunch and dinner.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to clean the chrome-backed mirror of my cousin's Prado before taking these shots, and I'd forgotten how much extra detail you get with a D-SLR. I'm not yet nearly good enough to go thru it with Photoshop to clone out all the blemishes, so all I've done for these is some exposure, saturation and cropping adjustments.

[MaTBoY]

Funky. You know you can bring up the prism grids on the D90 in the advanced menu? You don't have the sphere though.

You need to refer to it as your' Prado lens'.

[funkymonkey]

software emulated prism focussing assist? how does that work? also... how do you see it through the viewfinder?

[MaTBoY]

It adds the lines to the viewfinder that split your image into 9 squares, they don't look emulated, they look like they are really there. they dont look any different to the focus points and horizon lines that are there already.

Look in your advanced options and see if you can find it.

ohh yeah the rule of thirds assist. This viewfinder lens replacement assists you in figuring out what's in focus, and what's not, and if in fact something really is in focus (line up the 45 degree split on the subject image and it'll be in focus). The oldschool film SLR's used to use this trick. It doesn't affect liveview.

Call me old fashioned, but I hate liveview unless I'm shooting something from ground level. The day someone makes a gooseneck adapter for the viewfinder I'll be all over it.

[ZENNON]

Yeah friend got one and put it in his K200D - seems to work well

Pic before the rims got changed:

OK i should really clean the car first before taking any pics.. But here is a quick snap of it. Will do a proper photoshoot soon
