October Photo Thread

[Jay019]

yeah, I was spewing at first (like almost a breakdown, lol) but once I got used to the idea i realised it was in the best interests of the family and thats more important than my personl desires.

and nah, no more drift for me. im not even going to try using the p&s for drift as i know it will be unsatisfying. theres plenty of others out there doing it, just wish they would actually get stuff published to justify the 'media' they all use in their names.

and cheers man, its actually really cool to finally be able to mix my love of graff with my love of photography in a creative way, as opposed to just taking pics of graff (although i still love that, the feeling you get when you see a new burner is hard to describe, lol)

[siddr20]

Indeed awesome shots jay!! Hope you get a new SLR soon!!

You has a family?!?! I thought you were another young gun a.k.a. 19years/20 years old hahaha. Guess i was wrong.

If i sold all my stuff at least i would have a lot of cash about but i think i'd cry myself to sleep for a week at least haha.

Well the media vests are understandable as long as they take good pics etc... but the guys out there with rubbo gear that just got there because of there mates help, i can't justify it... A good example of this was Superlap this year, but meh, what can you do?

Keep posting up your pics, even if they are with a P&S!

[Jay019]

yeah man, im an old man 34 with 2 kids (4yo boy and 3yo girl) so yeah, they come first.

will keep posting pics up, gotta so many ideas i want to try and having a visual record of my progression would be nice.

[MaTBoY]

I want a damn media vest!!! Well, I'm not fussed about the vest but I want good locations >: )

[NA_Goodness]

Those light painting graffiti shots are awesome!! Fantastic work, Jay. Shame about selling the camera, I'd be devastated I've spent more on my camera than I have on my car! Excluding purchasing the car, obviously.

Group buy on media vests, perhaps?

[Jay019]

thanks for the feedback guys

yeah selling the camera did suck a bit, but knowing you made the responsible choice for your family makes up for it.

and i know this wasnt taken in october, (sorry its only a few days off ) but heres a photo of my R31 taken with the Lumix. pretty decent for a p&s, just wish i could chuck a CPL on it to reduce reflections

Matt, was there meant to be a wire from the LED- to the bottom left of the LED section? Just looking at how it all grounds out... And I'm assuming they're npn transistors in the middle there too?

[MaTBoY]

Viva la dirty one!!!!! I have a massive soft spot for 31s. My first line wad a beige and brown 31 I called the Tim tam til I smashed it and reincarnated her ad the red devil.

Owen the wiring is right. The leds - go back to the inverter. It's a separate circuit to the input voltage.

Maybe its best to just get a kit from jaycar or find a simpler plan.

Possibly I don't doubt for a moment that your kit works; I'm just not so great with the electronics. Putting it together, yeah, but the understanding is weak.

[oweban]

Holy shit

I just got GIVEN a Tamron 28-200mm 3.8-5.6 lens... Wow! Oldskool but pretty cool.

[oweban]

Oops, can't edit it now.

[MaTBoY]

Score!

[GoldZilla]

I took this afternoon just around the corner from where the house is getting built. the Sun and Clouds were battling it out with full fury. Glad I stopped to grabbed this.

Dude, you should DEFINITELY print that!

[FST513]

Should totes print that shot. Best landscape work you've ever done, keep it up!

Well, i tried out some light painting last night. Ghetto ties to hold my light inside my 47" Octabox, damn the octa makes the light so soft and buttery.

I went way overboard editing this but the point of it was to just bump the contrast and see how the light was hitting my car.

Location was where i park it at home and it was 1230am so i didn't go anywhere.

I'm pretty happy with a 10minute effort! Would like to go to a proper location when i get time and not have to edit the cr@p out of it to get rid of the colour cast from lamps and sh!tty background.

Anyway, let me know what you think (BTW - On my calibrated monitors i can see all the fine details perfectly, but looking at it on my work monitor i can barely see my wheels....).

[MaTBoY]

Thats awesome man, very soft indeed! Awesome potential with that set up.

The only real hot spot is across the rear guard to rear door, try to keep the same distance from the car, and dont look at how you see the light, but imagine how the light would look from your lens (If that makes sense)

Yeah, I'll print it out and have a look at it on paper, i like it, I think i like it more cos it shows how nice it is where i'll be living soon ;0

Nick, I looked on my home pc and i can only find 4. I'll be getting 5 today though, so you should be able to stop in at work and get it tomorrow if you're not to busy

Yeah super soft light! In regards to that hotspot, i could of burned it down a bit, but decided i would try and get a highlight kind of in there. Although there is nothing to highlight on my car

I'm pretty sure in regards to that part, there was a bigass tree there and i had to reduce my distance about 1metre and stand there for about 5secs trying to navigate around the camera and not go into the tree, but keen to see what happens on a proper location with room.

Dooooooo it.

If you need CS5 for MAC or windows, let me know if your still struggling to get a copy.

[oweban]

Goodies arrived today...

[FST513]

w00t! Looks nice Owen. Now i see why the 580EXII is so exxy to buy. Comes with metal hotshoe and weathersealed also.

For as cheap as this flash was i might pick one up. Although if it's better than my 580, i'll dis-own Canon

Take some snaps, you should buy a wireless trigger kit, so you can shoot with the flash off camera. lots of fun!

Thinking about it Gotta let my bank account recover from this month first (oops). The manual is in Japanese (I think) so I'm having a fun time working out what the hell I'm meant to do with it
