My first shot for this year. It's amazing how a couple of stacked extension tubes can affect a Macro shot. This is using my Canon 60D, a Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, and three Kenko tubes stacked together (12mm, 20mm and 36mm). This is shot at f/7.1 and there is still some DoF fall-off towards the edges of the shot.

This was from an engagement session yesterday. I've uploaded a few more to my site @ http://richardgrainger.com.au/story/brisbane-couple--nathan-and-chantelle/40?rf=saucn

Love that shot Nickson!

Thanks mate!

Thanks Richie, your shot is awesome too. Love how a natural canopy of trees can frame something so well.

BTW, the clockspring on that stopwatch in my shot is only about 6mm across at the widest part. I'll take another photo in the next few days to compare it to a 10c coin or something to give it a sense of scale.

I have to admit, I understood it was a macro photo, but I had no idea 6mm. That is absolutely insane, I imagined 10-15cm to be honest. Do you have to manual focus (I'm imaging almost a guess and check) on a tripod to do that?

Thought I would post a recent shot I took of Gibraltar Falls in the ACT. I applied an oil painting effect in Photoshop and was pleased with the result as it really shows the different textures and colors in the shot. Hope you like it.

Not really up to Par, but I dont mind it anyway :P

Canon 550D 50mm f/1.8

It's a bit scrappy, and I know the faults it has, but it was a quick shot to celebrate being 1 step closer to having an engine built :)

<p>There's no par brother, we're not golfing in here. Share, discuss, help, improve.<br />

Not much wrong with that shot anyway, fair enough it's not brochure material but I can one piston is sharp as. I can read the text and i can see more stuff in the back. it's good i reckon.</p>

<div>Back at work so it's time to start sharing again :) May as well start with some car stuff. Even if it's not a fast car :P</div>

Just wish it was straighter, other then that its pretty cool :)

What was that Hyundai thing like? I saw someone else went on that, cant remember the details but I think it was a prize of some sort?

Some nice photos anyway, can't say I'm really a fan of the car but still good

Its getting closer and closer to March, I'm pretty keen to get some F1 shots in Melbourne, can't wait for that

Really be jumping in the deep end as I've never taken any fast moving shots like that but its the best way to learn I guess.

pretty shitty pano really, handheld and didnt have the patience to wait till the waves were in the same spots due to bare feet on burning hot sand, haha.

camera is now back with its new owner. was a great weekend, back to boring dole life, lol.

Edited by Jay019

its a good angle Jay, but i expect nothing less than that from you.

Probably some of the last shots I'll post from the old D90. Shot at the end of a long track day. not taken in jan but only getting around to working on some older stuff now.

Hey folks, here are a few from my holiday in Vietnam & Thailand. I'll post up some more later but don't want to whore up the place like I do some times :D

I know this next shot isn't up to par but the coach bus was traveling along at about 80kph as I was trying to get the shot on horrible bumpy roads through Vietnam. This is Hue (same location was used in the Top Gear Vietnam Special).

Nice work Pezzy! They're all pretty good :) 3 and 4 are my favs:) Keep sharing across the weeks. dribble it out, maybe work on one or two shots at a time, post for feedback, then rinse repeat?

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
