Nice work boys!

What is it that makes puppies and laundry baskets work so well?

[FST513]

I donno hey hahaha. Good contrast definition between red and gold? Who knows.

Either way he ate sh!t getting out of the basket and it was hilarious haha.

[bnr#@]

Last few for now. I will do them properly once I get back to perth in a couiple of weeks.

Sweet F1 shots! It's a shame the fence is visible in a few of them. What aperture were you shooting?

I've heard and tried it out although it depends on the fence, if you shoot at really wide apertures then the fence is virtually non existant in the photos.

How was it being at an actual F1 race? Must go to one!

[bnr#@]

Aperture was generaly arround f4.5 to f5 its true with the fence dissapearing with large apertures but you have to be close to the fence for it to work properly, in some of those the fence was still a few meters away. I woder if there is software that can remove paterns like that...

The actual race, and the whole F1 event in general was amazing. Will be coming back next year

[MaTBoY]

more great shots!!! I'm going to make a solid effort to get to melbourne next year.

I need to take a few weeks off work... There's about 0 opportunity during the week for me to even think about photography. Ugh. being out of the house 13 hours a day sucks.

[MaTBoY]

take it with you and muck around at lunch or when you've got some spare time. that what i usually do when i'm flat out.

[oweban]

Hmm, fair call. I should have made a trip into USYD today at lunch, some damn good buildings in there to shoot.

Pic taken with the new 70-200 f2.8 II L.. Seriously this lens is a monster!!!

Shot at f2.8 (iso 1600 i think, no noise reduction) and everything is in focus and so sharp. I love it.. Wish i had 3k lol

[FST513]

[MaTBoY]

You should probably inestimable time with what you have now, rather than investing money in what you'll need later.

Wow. New Chinese proverb. That was deep

[oweban]

inestimable?

okayyyyy

but I know what you mean, get good with what I've got before I go and blow 3k

[siddr20]

I've told you many many times you need to change your pricing structure!!!! Ripping yourself off!!! Charge more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owen - By the time your ready to upgrade, the 70-200 2.8 IS (not the MKII) will be alot cheaper. I paid $2400 for mine, but the prices are dropping fast.

If you want to buy lenses or anything buy them from B&H! 98c to the dollar! MASSIVE savings!

$2300USD on B&H, xe.com says:

$2394AUD vs $2800 here. Not bad!

But again, I'll start out small with my 18-55, and the 75-300 I'm getting on the cheap.
