September Photo Thread

Homebush is closer to what i was thinking. Little bay is really nice, but it's like an hour from home, more if there's shite traffic. There's water, there's some cool old dirty abandoned roads, some art and architecture and.... BEER. Also it's central. Maybe we can hit up little bay another time for a water/land shoot?

I'm keen for some beers and photos.

Sidd you love that place don't you lol.. That the same place we did the model shoot ages ago yeah?

We can always head out to my area on the beaches for something. Maybe shoot a few cars before sunset, take a few sunset shots, then take a few star trail shots or something?

Probably best to vote on a location.

Bring the girlfriends so you can drink more

I think a Car shoot followed by some landscape photos followed by XXXXXX Would be a good idea. Would be like an SAU workshop lol.

Lets finish the day at mensgallery? hahaha

littlebay is like an hour for me too.. but yup meet up at homebush i guess.. Dont know whats around there tho to shoot??

[FST513]

Lol little bay is easily an hour and a half for me.

Theres lots of industrial areas out there, lights from the stadiums and gritty stuff, good for car shoots. I don't know where half of them are though.

Might want to wait it out until the NRL finals are over also, or do it on a different day. Don't make it a final day lol.

On another note...

Just mucking around.

Lighting was two AB800's.

[siddr20]

Love that shot So how many frames did you take? lol

[FST513]

Lol 6. And this was the medium sized balloon.

I told the missus numerous times when to pop it, but she kept delaying or being too early.

But finally we got it. Not what i had in mind, but it was too late to keep mucking around

[siddr20]

Yea its like taking water drop pictures.. You take so many and only a get a select few which turn out great.

So want to do an underwater shoot. Anyone know where i can hire out underwater housings??

[oweban]

Hah, everywhere is ages away for me I'm 20 mins south of Wollongong.

[MaTBoY]

I used to play around with water alot, but with video. We use high speed cameras at work. they shoot anything between 10,000 to 1 frame per second. It's good fun, yet to try anything with the camera though.

Shame you mentioned your misses, I was about to comment on how manly your hands are hahaha

bucks night tonight. should be good! >

Sidd, if we end up at mens or platinum we're talent scouts for a very large but unnamed publishing company

[NA_Goodness]

Damn you guys being on the other side of the country! I would love to meet you all and get some information from you all. I was thinking about coming over for Superlap, so if it ever happens I'll let you all know

[FST513]

Wow! You thought about coming over for superlap from perth!?!?! Holy sh!t, dedicated much!

Anyway, here are a few muck around edits. All natural lighting. Just tweaked in photoshop. Obviously a few errors as i didn't spend a long time on them.

Got the 550D today problem is that CS3 for Mac doesn't recognise the newer CR2 files, wtf? I've got the latest RAW plugin, but nooo. Have to grab CS4 from work then.

Got a damn good price, considering it was Harvey Norman and all: 550D and the 18-55mm lens, 50mm 1.8 lens, 4 years warranty for cam and lenses, 2 Hoya UV filters (pitch 0.75) (one for each lens), a Hoya CPL filter, extra battery, 16Gb Sandisk Extreme, Inca tripod, and a Kata bag for 1863... very happy. Got home late so I've only got a few crappy shots, took one of my doggie though; shooting in full auto at the mo until I get a bit of time to play in the daytime with it. Nothing special, just my gorgeous doggy who's a bit drugged up cause we had to take him to the vet to get most of one of his nails cut off; he'd broken it and it was hanging

No photoshop (grumble, stupid CS3 and no CR2), just straight from cam (and resized).

[MaTBoY]

Welcome to the party bitch tits

[FST513]

Congrats Owen, hope you enjoy it.

Yep, you'll need CS4 or CS5... The thing with adobe is that when the newer cameras come out they only give out certain updates to camera raw etc.. until the new photoshop comes along and then any cameras released after that aren't supported by the old photoshop.. It sucks, but thats how they rake in the cash.

Enjoy all the new gear!

[oweban]

CS4 obtained through work :3

So who wants to win lotto?

[FST513]

I'd rather spend $40K on a different Hasselblad than that lol.

[oweban]

But it's hiiiiiistory

I'll be making a Flickr soon I guess; not so happy about having to make a Yahoo ID to do it but oh well. Then next weekend hopefully get some good shots at a party I'm going to.

Some pics of vehicles I spotted in my recent visit to Japan...

[NA_Goodness]

Wow! You thought about coming over for superlap from perth!?!?! Holy sh!t, dedicated much!

Meh, I need a holiday, so why not? Check out a new city and it certainly beats the V8 Supercars, not that we get them over here any more...

[MaTBoY]

Sounds like a good excuse to me!

You found some awesome historics over there!
