cheers

Actually i did find an error with your website. If you click on the front image this happens:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mf_previous_image_link() in /home/matthewe/public_html/wp-content/themes/f8-lite/image.php on line 6

Sidd, had an engagement party this weekend, and turns out I'm one of the groomsmen :( (wasn't aware, got there and it's like oh!) Anyway, it's a while off, possibly 18 months or so, but I'll be trying to lean them towards your work as it's just amazing.

Thanks Sidd, I fixed that problem up. :blink:

checked your site, the logo suits well. i like your intro at the start too. very and professional, the shots that scroll at the top are all top notch as well. be proud!

Owen - thank you so much dude. Much grateful :P Hopefully they do like my work... Guessing you gotta do a speech as well? I hate speeches..

Matt - Cheers man. Thanks for taking your time to view my blog. The next step now is to make the main website more professional. I think that will be a big project in itself. Might get a pro to do that work one day.

Hey Guys,

I am now a proud owner of a new Canon G12 and very soon (after I understand what the mountain of options are on the camera) will be turning it off auto. So is there any sites people can recomend to learn about my camera and its settings?

Cheers

Troy

settings are settings regardless of model and even brand. You'll need to play around and work out what menu takes you where and blah blah, but the real important stuff is universal. things like shutter speeds and apeture wont have different meansings. just experiment and read lots. where? type photography fundamentals Or rules of photography in google and go hard!

http://photography-on-the.net/forum <-- Where i learnt everything. It's a canon forum as well and has a specific section for P&S's as well as high end like G10/11/12 etc..

Also, read books!!! Photography is as much about taking the photo as it is retouching it in photoshop/lightroom.

Scott Kelbys books are by far the best for understanding what everything does and waht they are capable of.

Many people recommend Bryan Petersons "Understanding Exposure". I bought it and was bored and over it within 10minutes. It doesn't actually teach you anything when your a n00b. Now i haven't picked it up since i read it a few years ago. It basically tells you about the triangular relationship of ISO/Shutter Speed/Aperture and what they all do.

To be honest.. The best practice? Go out and shoot photos. Ask people who post photos, what settings are these or check if there is EXIF. I wrote up a friggin massive post somewhere about shutter speed/aperture/ISO etc.. its on here somewhere.

Just basically get reading and keep shooting. The fresher it is in your brain the more you will remember!

Oh and congrats on the new purchase. Welcome to the Canon club!

Nah no speech I don't think, he's got his best man to do that, and I'm the other groomsman :D *phew*

Was slightly worried about that a while ago, cause we've had a few spots of we don't talk for like 6 months and just pick up like nothing's changed, and one of those was when he met Laura, so that'd make it hard to make the speech there :ermm:

I'm gonna give them your site soon, so they can have a squiz. I know it's a long way off, but the sooner I can plant the idea the better.

To add to what Kory and Matt have said, also try checking out Canon's own videos, either on their website http://www1.canon.com.au/worldOfEos/learn/home/default.aspx or via the Canon Australia channel on YouTube. Even though the videos focus on D-SLRs, you will pick up lots of information that will help you with a P+S like the G12 where there are heaps of settings you can play with...

Ok, we need to find some way of stomping on people using the Photography forum as their "get up to 10 posts" section. It's happened a few times in the last few months.

Sorry, don't hurt me.

How do you guys rate the 60D for motorsport? Quick and accurate AF and decent all-round camera? It looks pretty good on paper, how is it for you in the real world Nick?

I haven't had it long enough to use it in a motorsport environment yet, MaikuL, so I couldn't tell you yet, unfortunately. The camera was only released late September/early October.

However, in saying that, I did have some success with my 450D at WTAC/Superlap, and seeing as the 60D is a better camera with faster focussing, a faster burst mode and better resolution, it should be nice. I'll have to find some photos from that and post them up.

Oh, about 4pm or so we had a whole bunch of choppers flying around the area (I think I read in the local paper that they'll be on some training session over the Parramatta council area). Anyway, I'd just got home and went to grab my camera to see if I could manage some panning shots, and they stopped coming past... :whistling: They were flying right over my house too. :):ninja:

There must have been at least 10 of them, maybe more.

Hmm true that, my bad. I had a play with a borrowed 350D for about a month, so anything up from that would definitely be awesome.

Cool thanks for that.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
