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.

cheers man, tried a different angle today and was running at either 1/8th or 1/15th i think, they will be on my facebook soon(ish). kinda needing a tripod tho, lol. that idea about the one person standing still is awesome! might give something like that a go in future, and i'll be sure to credit you for the idea ;) ooh, ooh... maybe even a homeless man asleep in a park with heaps of people just walking past. damn, you got my mind ticking over on this one, nice one lol.

Hahahaha. Theres so many ideas i would love to try out, but just dont have the time. Would be awesome for project 365 as well! (for you too)! The homeless man idea is sick!! I'm sure if you went up to him and said sit still for 5 seconds and i'll give you $5 he would do it!

BNR - Is that a proper full size F1 car? I thought they were so much bigger!!!!!! So jealous of you even getting to hear one in real life! Yet you get to see it driving around on your main roads! That thing at full song would make white stuff appear on the lens.

Yeah, it's the 2009 chassis with current aero and a v10 engine. The sound is insane, though having it revved out 2 meters from Your eat is actualy quiet painful

Photographed a pre-wedding event last night (Haldi). Probably one of the hardest places to shoot. It was in the backyard with the lowest ceiling (which was orange) ever.. I could touch it with my hands. So bouncing flash was a little hard, but I had fun bouncing flash off different things. Also I was shooting 2 hours straight and went thru 12 AA batteries on my flash!!! Not a dull moment through-out the night...

Your probably asking why is there yellow stuff on her face? Well the event is called Haldi: This event normally takes place a day before the wedding. The ceremony is considered auspicious and is meant to purify both bride and groom before the big day. Because of the medicinal properties, its like a mini-facial/body scrub the day before the wedding. Its actually fun to watch!!

Just two pictures from last night for now: Wedding day is today!! so excited about that one.

Sweet colors Sidd! Definitely pops.

I wonder why your powering through batteries so much!? Even at full power for 2 hrs should be one set max! Must be taking heaps of shots. I'm sure there is tonnes and tonnes of awesome moments during indian weddings though.

I always picture elephants when i think about indian weddings i dont know why lol..

LOL! You guys are so racist :D

There seems to be a lot of Indian weddings in Sydney though!

Serg, thats awesome man. I'd love to go watch him thrash it around Barbz, but at $50 entry... Its a bit out of my price range :( Stupid apprentiship wages :/

holy crap that shirt the dude is wearing on the left is awesome :)

hope there'll be good photos from today up soon HINT HINT

Dude on the left is Daniel Ricciardo, a Perth boy that has now been signed by Toro Rosso as their reserve driver for next year so he will be driving every friday practice for them.

F1 goodness is FTW!!!!!

Chase - Quality shouldn't be affected at all by going from full res to low res (web size). As long as you re-sharpen everytime you resize you'll be fine and it will be of even better quality than full res because it will appear sharper.

23MB files sound like you've got around 15MP. So when you resize down to web size, re-sharpen it (not the full amount you use for full res, half it e.g. 40% for full res, use 20% for web size). If the quality is still compressed and artifacting, then your not resizing to the proper size and your image hoster is compressing it down for you.

Sweet pics! As always black is hard to shoot with especially on a sunny day with lots of reflections. I think you did pretty well :rofl2:
