So i gave up on washing my car hahha.

Bug shots are very cool!

My parents have told me they will buy me a lens up to $1000 for my 21st cos I'm not having a party. Tossing up between a telephoto or macro... I'll probably chuck some more $$$ in to get a top of the line lens. Any suggestions, guys?

See if you can find a 2nd hand lens in good condition. I bought my Canon 100mm f/2.8 from B+H and it was in mint condition - you could barely tell it was used! It's not an L-series lens, but I don't care. Cost me roughly $700 delivered, so if you can find one through them (or new), you'll be laughing. That's the lens I used for those bug shots.

Plus, shipping from them is ridiculously quick - NY to Sydney in 3 business days.

+1 for bnh and quick postage.

Im thinking of buying a few things from there. Anyone want to go halves in postage? Might buy a flash and few memory cards. If we go halves we gotta keep it under 1000 so we dont get taxed.

Let me know if you keen.

Thanks Nick, I'll keep that in mind.

Sidd, I would but I'm on the other side of the country. Probably wont help too much

Btw, how can you not wash your car?? I wash mine at least once a fortnight, which is kinda sad considering I might drive it once a fortnight... I'd wash the 31 more often, but I've only had it on the road for a week, and it just shows up the rust more

A new lens would be nice but you don't need one as long as you can still shoot

that shot is nice. What i think would have improved it... I probably would have moved to the right a bit so you could see the beach join up, and put more focus on the footprints/waves. nice shot though, relaxing

I couldnt really see properly what i was taking and how the shot was turning out when i was there, it was so over cast but thanks ill keep that in mind

+!

& a level horizon

And yeah, i was TRYING to keep it level but i cant stay still

[MaTBoY]

took some shots of my mates car.

more to come...

[bnr#@]

I like, thogh maybe would havee given it just a bit more room on the right. Though I suck at static car shots mostly so would have probably just stuffed it all up

[siddr20]

Check out her jewelry!! The necklace is pure gold. You cant be wearing fake stuff to Indian weddings!!

Nice Sidd!

Hey Matt, did you take that on tuesday arvo? Nice! Also did you use layer masks? Bit of a halo on the bottom right, but it could just be a hotspot in the image or something.

I took the obligatory snapshot of the evo just before. Nothing special at all. Light painting shots will happen on the weekend.

Took it for a drive today along to wollongong, gotta admit.... gave it some and super impressed in it's cornering!

Will post pics up soon.

[MaTBoY]

Kory, hurry up... I wanna see how clean u got your new toy!

Sidd... give me gold. did that disc arrive?

wow J, thats super impressive colours right there. beautiful man! What are you programming?

Here's the rest of the car set, i'll post up some action shots over next couple days. I only had about 15 minutes with the car. 10 at location 1. 5 at location 2. We had to run to get a helmet and make it sign on at the track. Busy afternoon!

[Jay019]

wow J, thats super impressive colours right there. beautiful man! What are you programming?

not sure exactly, lol. i guess a messenger control app. im working on bits and pieces every day. this is what I have so far, still sooooo much to do, specially for just one person.

http://bike019.com/work/

it grabs addresses out a database and displays packages on a map indicating where they are going. its mainly just javascript too which is a spin out. not much php involved in this one.

Fcuking rad firework shots dude. Totally killed it! Seems like everyones ripping it up this year in the 'tog section!

I swear i posted this last night? Anyway, obligatory snapshots of the evo.

[Jay019]

I wanted to start tagging around town but dont have any skills with a paintcan so I thought I'd do something different and hung some photos up around the city for people to check out. heres a couple...

[miss_petepie]

the firework shots are great!

[MaTBoY]

That's a mad idea j. I like it. Photo bombing a new perspective. Very clever.

Why didn't y pursue the.programming website stuff? You clearly have skills.

Just git home from day out. It was a big day. My sunburn tells me I was out. No false advertising there.
