Rad bike. Similar to mine. Used to race BMX for like 11ty years and riding a bike with different geometry just feels gay. I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow if i remember.

Anyhoo... here's a shot from texi waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. Someone here might recognise the car... this was taken before Me and Kory had 5 minutes with it in a carpark... all alone.

Love that shot, not sure why. Wish the DOF wasnt so shallow though, would be have been nice to get the mirror in focus.

Its my desktop picture atm. Everytime I see it I just stare at it for a while before doing anything

[Basti]

I like that shot too, it works well (even though I'm not as much of a fan of R33s as I am of the other chassis).

With the DoF, you'll obviously have to shoot with a smaller aperture to get the mirror in focus too, maybe between around f/5.6 and f/8? That should still leave the car in the background with a nice bokeh effect.

The areas covered around the headlight/parker and the blinker and spotty are super-sharp, which is nice!

ive been keen to try a 29r. thing that im worried about is tyre selection. well that and the fact i cant afford one anyway, haha.

mines just a regular 26" with 26x2.5 tyres. probably a bit too fat, but they were free and so nice skids so i'll run them till they wear out which by the look of them will be a long time, haha.

couple of pics from today...

made me almost fall off my bike laughing.

Pirie Street, Adelaide

Reserved parking ;P

Finally got a decent panning shot of a messenger with this Lumix. Kinda hard as im used to AF-C that focuses as you pan, so I had to guess where he would be riding and pre-focus there and hope for the best, lol.

great way to finish of a hard days work

Check out her gold necklace!!

My car at JZX cruise:

Thats me driving:

Blue lake: I think thats what its called.. hmmm

[NA_Goodness]

Did someone else take that shot, Sidd? Great use of the fisheye.

Nick, I was using f1.8 cos I love the effect of the 50mm. I'll try lifting it up a bit and seeing how it goes.

Basti, here you go mate:

LOL, I don't blame you - the bokeh with this lens wide open is great! I can't believe it costs less than $130.

[siddr20]

yea my friend in the back seat using my camera.

[NA_Goodness]

The Nifty 50 is one lens everyone should own! I use it when ever I'm photographing people and I've got

Some amazing shots from it. Not bad for $100 off a mate! Included lens hood and UV filter too.

[ZENNON]

Yeah I noticed the Nikon (50/1.8) ones can be had from ddp for $137 new atm!

[MaTBoY]

Agreed. i got my nifty fifty from ebay for $140 a while ago. Perfect for people and detail shots. so sharp and clean. DOF is mad. I was playing aruond with it last night in Nicks car as we were driving along. I'll post one up tonight.

For cars a 35mm 1.8 would be better, but the 50 is ok. just need to get back a distance if you're trying to get it all in frame.

[ZENNON]

Yeah that's actually exactly what I want instead of a 50mm, the (35/1.8) for $256

but now I'm very tempted by the Tamron 17-50/2.8 for $315 (+ $27 postage)
