September Photo Thread

[siddr20]

Dont get me wrong i do like that edit, but the style of processing has been done on most of the photos.. The client seems to like it which is good.

Sorry for the confusion... Cheers for the kind words.

So what exactly do you do tho? got a website?

[siddr20]

I reckon I would have been better with my 50mm at f1.8. Cute kid though, loves car keys just like his father! Haha

Nice, cute pic

Took over 400 photos on Monday, but only made time to process a few - damned Facebook and SAU are so distracting! This one is my cousin from Canberra, he was up here for a wedding and I took him to a skate park in Merrylands (same place we had our SAU Show n Shine a few years back) on Woodville Rd. This is the first time I've tried action shots like this, and I'm pretty happy with the results. Used a mix of Av and Tv modes, and with this shot there was too much in the way of a distracting background, so I did some RAW processing (exposure, saturation, and then fill light because he was wearing all black), then de-sat in PS, and colour splash.

Oh, and today (Tuesday) I bought a 60D!!! Haven't started using it yet, but hopefully will get a chance this week. Also, hopefully CS3 will be able to deal with the RAW files...

Woohoo! Nice job Nick!

Let us all know how the 60D is! Especially the AF i'm curious about.

Also, unfortunately, CS3 won't be able to handle the RAW files... CS5 will though, looks like you'll need CS5 OR possibly CS4. Wait and see.. I'm using camera RAW 6.2 at the moment with CS5. I'm pretty sure camera raw 6.3 will come out supporting the 60D but only with CS5.

So what exactly do you do tho? got a website?

No website (currently under construction... I'm my own worst client)

I'm a graphic designer out of a little studio here in Melbourne called Simm Design

Here are a few pages from my folio that include photography... the first few (ANZ, Monash, EastLink) are using mostly stock library imagery, whilst the hotel stuff and Canninvale towels were shot by Earl Carter, who is a top notch shooter down here in Melbs

Also includes a website I did for Stuart Crossett who does some pretty cool advertising photography, check him out at stuartcrossett.com.au

I have also put in a couple of corporate IDs I've done for smaller businesses, no imagery there

Finally there is a page with some of my photography... I'm no pro its just a hobby!

Okay I think I've spammed your thread enough now! back to posting cool photos

Thanks Kory! It's funny, even in the RAW file the photo looks so surreal (at least to me), as if I'd stitched my cousin into the background in PS.

Hmm, I might try a few test shots and see what happens anyway- if it works, then bonus! If not, then CS5 it is.

Camera RAW 5.x = CS4

6.x = CS5

6.2 supports the 60D:

CS5 for you, Nick! I'm sure some people around could help you... find a good price on it

No, I forbid you to buy a wide angle lens. You are not allowed to do so.

Why don't you work out what you're comfortable spending, and work out where and how you want to use your lens, then make a decission.

[oweban]

ken rockwell might know some stuff but this page just made me think he's the biggest douche in the world:
