Finally got my birthday presen!!

It's a tight fit...

Already spewing I didn't get the IS model, but it was free so cat complain

70-200 f4 L for those interested. However I will upgrade to a 70-200 f2.8L IS eventually, after I buy my 7D. (might be sooner if I fail to convince myself saving for a house is important, lol)

[MaTBoY]

farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk. rhys better be taking some might fine shots frmo now on! because it's all the glass you know

They're basically most of the shots i was going to post Kory, I'll have to have a dig and find some of my 'artistic' ones now hahaa

[FST513]

Congrats Rhys I bet your stoked?

Lol sorry. I just picked different angles and chose a photo that i rated 5 stars. Only one i thought you might post was the rx7 flame popping bananza. I is soz

Where did you end up getting your nuts from? and lolcats at you waiting until monday.

[MaTBoY]

all good brother. all good.

blacktown autobarns, yulleh. near work. they've usually got lots of stuff in stock. lucky!

[GoldZilla]

Hahaha, I also knew you wouldn't be able to wait till today to put the wheels on, Matt. Can't wait to see it.

Product shoot went okay yesterday, and the woman who creates all the jewellery was really easy to work with. She's mega-talented too, just about all the artworks in her house were done by her, and there was A LOT!!! Paintings, carvings, pottery and ceramics absolutely everywhere, but it didn't look cluttered.

The main issue I had was lighting, I really wish I had some modelling/beauty constant lights to work with, but I doubt I'd use then often enough to justify buying them.

[FST513]

lolz0rz blacktown autobarn.

Nick - Yep.. You don't realize how hard it is to light jewellery for product shots until you take a shot. Reflections are killers. Diffusion is what you need or constant lighting.

Hope it all went well and i'm sure the shots turned out good

[ZENNON]

Nice Zennon! Long time no post

What like a week?

welcome back zenon (even if you hates us :'( ) haha

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[NA_Goodness]

That definately looks like something stolen from the army! Hahaha

First decent photo with the new lens! Still need to learn to make do without IS, but I'll get there:

I love this dog, she's awesome!!

Yeah, I wanted to add more to my previous comment before, but editing your post on the iPhone is a PITA.

Luckily for me, my cousin's wife was modelling all the jewellery, so that made it a bit easier. If I get the colour temps right, it should help a fair bit with editing later (at least I hope so). I was using bounced flashes and an overhead low-voltage halogen, and there was a skylight in the ceiling right near where we were shooting.

farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk. rhys better be taking some might fine shots frmo now on! because it's all the glass you know

Obviously no one told J that one! Haha

Cheers Kory, yeah I love it. It makes me look like a pro =P

Went out for a shoot today with my mate cos what else is there to do on a public holiday?

Sneak peak:

Joys of owning a POS bunky... Stood on the bonnet cos I didnt have a ladder

[GoldZilla]

Nice lens, Rhys - I was telling Matt and Kory that I'd like to order one very soon, but maybe stretch the budget for an f/2.8 version - just like you, I wish it came out with the IS too. Now that the Mk II version is out (with IS), the first ones are dropping in price.

[NA_Goodness]

Yeah, it's a great lens, and not a bad price for an L lens I reckon. I should have waited until the MKII came out and snapped up the IS a bit cheaper, but no one wants to wait for a 21st birthday present! Haha.

When my phitography makes me filthy rich (BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!) I'll upgrade, but for now its fine.

Although the above photos were taken on my 17-85.

[MaTBoY]

how much will that lens be? Like 15k or some shit?

I've been busy with heaps of stuff the last few weeks. I've actually got some cool stuff to shoot but not the time. will try to throw up a few suprises later in the week
