Nice! About time I had a fellow Stagea driver in this section. Welcome to the forums, and welcome to Stagea ownership.

Thanks

alan_key - Do you live on the beaches? And have you been looking at The-Lowdown lately Turned out good! Maybe use another flash on camera right for some more fill and to kill the shadows?

Yeh i live on the beaches. and haven't heard of that site till now, seems like they've been using that spot too ha. Nice rig shots, wish i had a decent rig

During my lunch break yesterday, I snuck down to the creek to find out what was making all the noise.

Oh yeah... found out that some of my V8 shots from clipsal will be used in the Bisley Workwear catalogue coming out soon too

[FST513]

I live on the Beaches too Alan. If you see a white evo 8 MR driving around give me a toot!

Practicing some panning for WTAC aye matt?

[MaTBoY]

haven't panned much lately. Need to make sure I'm not rusty Practice certainly helps!

[siddr20]

is that at Tom Ugly's?

[siddr20]

Yup looks like tom uglys... Maybe would have looked better with the front facing the camera?

Will do!

MaTBoy nice shots, just wondering do you use a monopod or tripod when you're panning? last time I just did it handheld with IS and was getting pretty inconsistent results, either i just need practice or im doing it wrong ha

[FST513]

I never use a monopod unless i'm holding a 400 2.8 or 500.

Turn the IS off and practice your technique more. Panning is all about technique. Unless you were shooting stupid shutter speeds below 1/15th. I'd recommend starting at 1/100th, get consistent results, then drop down to 1/80th etc...

I usually pan at around 1/40th-1/60th depending on if i'm getting paid or not lol.

Shoot with Chrissy and her cute little dog Chloe.

Lighting: Beauty dish and bare blub (still waiting on my strip box).

[R33GTR88]

Yeah it's tom uglys, I have some shots with the front facing the camera but they didn't turn out so great.

[siddr20]

Few pics of my tank. All just pretty much straight out of the camera.

Nearly got all my fish in one shot. Just missing the firefish.. next pic

[MaTBoY]

There's something fishy about that tank....

I don't usually use a mono/tri for panning either. It's all just practice man.

Hey Fellas, had a good play with the camera last night. Some serious effort and some just goofing around.

Hey Matt, Kory & Nick these are taken at the netball courts just behind my house. It backs onto the bush which makes it a great locale for the dark bush sihouettes. We should set up a meet there and see what you fellas think of the location.

(I call that second to last photo - "my rocket ship")

[Pezhead]

oh yeah, was going to add that I bought a ball cap from bunnings that has 3 l.e.d.'s in the brim. one directly straight ahead and two pointed down from the brim at about 30 degrees. It worked a treat for this kind of work. Was funny cause I kept feeling like the Blair Witch project with the light pointing any direction I looked.

Was well worth the $20. For you noctural photography buffs would highly recommend.

[FST513]

Nice Pez! Looks interesting!

Although you should correct your white balance because of the blue/white LED. Location looks interesting too!

[Pezhead]

Yeah, I'm still working on my white balance skills. It's especially tricky in the dark and tinting really comes out harsh.

Still a Padawan.

[MaTBoY]

patience, my young padawan apprentice. In time the power of the dark side will reveal itself to you.

Location looks quite good. worth a future investigation. Good to see you're out there playing around

here's a couple from twilight on friday night.
