January Photo Thread!

[S3RK]

I'll start this month off

Hope you all had a good new years!

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.

Happy New years guys!

Great way to start a thread with two awesome photos

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

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?

Afternoon all,

Been quite some time since posting so thought i'd share a recent shot from a trip to Queenstown.

Taken with a 7d - 24-105mm lens with CPL filter.

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

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

Going to try a Pano shot in the next week or so when I find time to go take some shots at a nice place I found

<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>

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.

Yeee, love that shot.

[Jay019]

about 6 months ago i promised my aunt i would take some snapshots at her wedding. borrowed my old g12 back for the day and took a few for her. heres one. i also have a couple of panos of the scene to put together if i find some motivation later.

[Jay019]

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.

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.

Where abouts in Queenstown did you take that?

[Pezhead]

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

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).

And, my favorite from the trip!

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?

took this on my break from work, Empress Falls, Blue Mountains.
