would have jumped at that job when I left Uni many moons ago, Penguin are a bit of an institution in the design community... but yeah publishing doesn't pay so well for GD...

I'm lucky in that I work for a studio that does a bit of everything... and my boss doesn't mind me taking on my own clients etc

this is true, some of the designers talk about their salaries n stuff while I'm sittin with them at lunch and it's wierd that they get paid crap money compared to other companies. good thing about web dev is that we got to tell HR how much we want to be paid :blink:

cheers. its getting harder each day though as ive shot so much of the city that finding new things to focus on is becoming a challenge.

Time to move to a bigger city, Jay?

yeah good abstract with lines and shapes jay. they're all interesting and well composed.

how did ur canon shot turn out nick? is it a winner? Is it Egg-cellent? :devil:

Agreed with Matt on this.

It turned out okay Matt, was harder to set up than I'd hoped and I didn't achieve quite exactly what I'd planned in my head, but I'm pretty happy with it. It was certainly a learning Eggsperience! :blink: I hope it's a winner - maybe 10% of all the shots submitted are actually well thought out, in my view. Most are pretty ordinary, with little or no imagination behind them.

Here's mine: http://www.canon.com.au/weekendtoday/entri...spx?imageID=498

barra... our kids would have wanted to keep it as a pet, lol.

tried using slower shutter speeds today. some worked ok(ish) other need a few refinements.

since the poor lumix broke (lens cover stopped opening and closing properly) ive been running the G11 as my regular sidekick point and shooter. i still use it on auto a lot, but have been using shutter/aperture priority a bit. the built in ND filter is awesome for slowing things down a bit further. hoping its fair quiet tomorrow so I can do more experimenting with it, get more of a feel for it.

going to give this another try and actually take a bit more care with the composition, lol.

i reckon in a few days i wont want to go back to using the Lumix. its kinda sad tho, I did love that little thing, haha.

nice shots jay.

thats awesome nick. better than someone just dropping an egg or something.

Agreed, nice shots Jay.

Thanks dude. Like I said, I wanted to show that I'd put some imagination into the composition.

That looks great, Matt - good shot of that car!

Barra - I would sh!t myself if i saw that. First thing i would do is turn the BBQ on and light that fcuker up. Snakes scare the fcuk out of me. Theres brown snakes around my area as its surrounded by bush that surrounds Manly Dam. A few dogs have died over the years being bitten by snakes on some of the tracks. If my dog got bitten i would go straight after the snake no hesitation and beat its head with my foot a million times over! Besides that, i'd run away like a 10yr old girl.

Jay - Love those slow shutter shots! Something about them i really like. I've always wanted to do one in Sydney's CBD at peak hour but have one person stand still and everyone walk around her waiting at the traffic lights.

Matt - Sweet shot! As Sidd said, the windscreen reflections are my only nag, but nothing major. Sweet job!

One from me.

haha... promise ya bud, if it was a Brown:

1) it would be dead. bagged and released that fella... carpet pythons are harmless to humans.

2) i woulda been taking pics with my zoom lens from the fence line, not the 35mm.

where was this man?

Burswood in Perth, they striped it and put it together there and started it up several times. It's part of the festival of speed we have going on here now where Mark Webber will go time attack style in the car at Barbagallo, both long and short track :happy:

    • 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.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
