Awesome pic man. You will have +1 download because of me

Good luck on the work man. Everyone is having a bit of troubles these days

[FST513]

Agree with everyone else. Looks tops Jay.

And as Matt said, turn it into a 360 globe thing like Zennon did ages ago! Will look epic.

I can has, please Sidd? Great shot, gorgeous girl!

Thanks man. More of these series to come Wanna do some in the city. Hopefully next week.

[Jay019]

woah Sidd, nice moody one! like!

you should turn that into one of those 360 planet pics man. it would look awesome. all water, then just an island popping off the top! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u should use some of your pc/interweb skillz for some extra cash on the side man. good luck with getting this job though!

only problem is the lack of water under the rocks i was standing on to take the pic. might give it a try, but for it to work properly i reckon i'd need to be on a boat a few meters out?

also never tried a 'little planet' shot with a pano and not sure that it will work on that kind of format. guess i'll find out tho.

as for computing work... if i had time to do the night job as well as some side work and still have time to spend with the family and kids it would be a possibility, but im not sure how well it would work out in reality. im still trying to get used to the idea that i have to sleep through the day and not sure if i will even get to see the kids due to my start/finish times. but thats the challenge of modern life tho, lol.

didnt quite work out. i reckon the horizon is too wonky as it doesnt meet up after applying polar coordinates (was a fair way off) and i dont have the skills to shop it into shape, lol.

Thanks Jay.

Man if you live in sydney I would hire you as my assistant!!

Another fav matt...

^is an awesome shot! i love moody shots.

so, what do you get when you cross a $15 kite, some crappy string, a gopro and an idiot? ghetto aerial photography, thats what

haha, yes, I do have way too much time on my hands.

[GoldZilla]

Hahahaha, awesome idea, Jay!

Anyway, here are a few from me taken at yesterday's JDMST EoMM:

And my cousin's newly-acquired car for the wife:

[siddr20]

Jay - Thats awesome dude. Now take the next step further and get a hot ballon with gps system and send it off to the outer atomsphere. I remember a guy on the potn forums doing it. Looked incredible. Offcourse a bit of planning and spending a little bit on gear. But awesome idea. How did you trigger the gopro? Or is there a setting to take a pic at a set interval?

There was a jdmst eomm yesterday? damn.. didnt even see it. That bmw looks nice

[Jay019]

yeah just had it on picture every 2 seconds. the cam was heaps unstable and swung around quite a bit, but with the law of averages and all out of 400 odd shots there were a handfull that actually worked out, lol.

as for hot air balloon, gps and all... way too expensive. broke the bank buying a spare SD card at only $8 to take the kite pics, haha. would be fun, but yeah i have to work with what i have. gonna try and get this set up a bit more stable. learnt a few things while watching it in action and have a couple of ideas to try to get a better 'keeper' rate than the current methods. oh and some crazier locations in future. like, off the side of cliffs, ends of jetties etc. if you have any ideas of cool places to take kite pics im all ears

Thanks man! Ah crap, I just noticed how pixelated the sky looks in that shot... Let's pretend I'm being surrealistic, mmmkay?

Yep, and was very close to home for me, so I went along. It was MASSIVELY packed, so many cars! The original meeting spot fell through, and it was a bigger venue too.

And yeah,the car is nice - he's only had it about a week and it needs a few bits and pieces fixed and/or cleaned up, and he wants to change the wheels. He's also got an E30 Alpina that he's owned for about 15yrs that's been off the road for at least half of that - I've been bugging him to get it going again to take it out for a drive and a photo shoot.

in regrads to ideas for locations, how about just off the top of a water fall?

reackon it would look pretty good....

auto correct with a phone if im not mistaken?

will have to see what is around. things i forgot you have to take into consideration are both the position of the sun and also the direction of the wind. makes planning shots a bit more of a challenge
