October Photo Thread

[Pezhead]

Hey fellas, not sure what people are doing tonight but Nick and I are going down to the Granny Smith festival to have a play with some fireworks photography. They put on a small fireworks show from the oval that is actually really nice.

City of Ryde's website seems to be down this site says the show is at 8:30 pm - hopefully their site will come back up soon so I can confirm.

I took this video at the event last year:

Also worth noting, don't let the sedan appearance fool you, this thing is a freakin weapon..

to me it seems like the highlights have been tweaked alittle to give that hdr look, and the rear bumper seems different colour to the rest of the body..clean looking car though

Does entry cost anything?

Incredible view from the wedding ceremony

Hardest day to shoot with it raining in the morning then full bright sun, then overcast, then bright sun again.. everyone sweating and squinting. But what an awesome day it ended up being!!

Dont you love it with a guest walks in front to take a picture.

Still love the pic though.

Everyone outside. Felt sorry for the couple standing in the hot sun. Hardest thing to exposure and get the lighting correct.

OK I have a confession to make. I love big bold beautiful eyes. I should make a post one day of all my collection.

No editing to the eyes or skin at all for the next three pics. They really do have big bold beautiful eyes!!!!!

Yup no editing done to the eyes at all.

Another person that walked into my shot

But just love her eyes!!!

Awesome shots sidd, I reckon as a photographer at these sorts of events you have the perfect excuse to compliment women on their features while at the same time appearing genuine and not overtly hitting on them? "You have amazing eyes, never seen anything like em, I just have to take a photo of you!" "Brilliant, you're a natural! Have you ever had a photoshoot done before? No? I could do one for you if you're not busy next Saturday..." etc etc

have a play with some fireworks photography

hope to see something fresh and new rather than the typical shots that every man and his dog takes. even just fresh new viewpoints would rock.

heres a pic i took a couple days ago with the kids camera...

panos with a full auto point and shoot can be challenging, lol.

Absolutely tops man, love this pic. Showed a few people around here

A couple of shots over the weekend

^ nice light in the 3rd pic of the couple. Just wish the guy was looking at the camera or down at her.

Eitherway good pic.

[siddr20]

Also bring right arm up towards his cheek and her left arm around the waist. That way your not cutting the arms off.

A couple from Bathurst

Check this shit. I'm almost artistic

[siddr20]

^ nicely done man

btw for this shot of the ute you posted up: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6171/6233733585_bc3e85ee74_b.jpg

Wouldnt it be better to have all the cars in focus? I feel not every shot has to be a panning shot. But thats just my 2cents.

Canon just released an upgrade to my 1D mk4....

It's called the 1D X.

It shoots 14 frames per second!!

Has an ISO of up to 208500!!!

This is what one of my friends just sent me

Jay - Excellent pano man.. Love it!!!! Now frame that asap and hang it on a wall. Looks incredible

cheers Sidd. looks great from a distance, but up close I can see a few places where it didnt stitch together so well.

but...

made myself a cheap and nasty pano head. probably not quit as good as a purpose built head, but should be better than handheld. will try it out today and post up the results.

I was snapping some quicker shots over the weekend Sidd, I agree with you, mixing it up is essential. I was panning that shot because I was shooting specifically for that team, so wanted to give them the full focus of attention.

Nicely done Jay. Should work a treat, who cares if it's not pretty. Ghetto mods rock! Most of my paint kit is ghetto as. sponsored by Jaycar and shonkiness

That 1Dx looks the shit. Lets see how nikon responds. I've been following the D800 rumour mill, 38mp or something ridiculous. Either way, the next step in cameras looks like it's going to be a pretty strong leap forward.

some more randoms. some from bathurst, some from forster...

At bathurst I was trying to shoot around the track too, focus on the culture and spirit of the event as much as the action on the track.

and... LAMINGTON!
