I've always loved my Macro.

Still have my original (circa 1974) Rokkor lenses.

For digital photography I believe they only fit a Sony body atm.

You guys are welcome to have a loan (as you'd need an adapter)!

Also have Rokkor 16mm,28mm & 200mm with impressive focal lengths.

Looks good :)

I want a Macro lense, but don't think I'd use it nearly enough to justify it. Would be great to have but :)

Yeah same, I don't think I would use a proper macro lens anywhere near enough. I've been happy with the results from my EF-S 55-250mm though, it can work pretty well for some close up shots. Heres another of those birds i put up on the last page, they came back to visit again today haha

I can't get over how intelligent parakeets & parrots are!

Great picture BTW.

I had alot of fun with my camera at F1 this year, doing some tracking shots at low shutter speeds to get some motion in the photos. Its just to hard with fences and roof posts and crap everywhere, but started getting the hang of it. The speed of the F1 cars doesnt help either lol

Finished more photos from F1, Theres a few of them and they are pretty repetative (but what can you do from the same grand stand every day), so sorry in advance :)

Nice, if only that fence wasn't there!

Thanks :)

Yeah, the ones near me aren't too afraid of people either, as long as you don't move too fast or make much noise. Makes for some decent photo ops if the camera is nearby lol

Absolutely!

One of my patients was a curator of a NZ Zoo.

When I asked him about their penchant for rubber windscreen wipers, he told me that when they're really bored they'll go for tyre walls too!

Arguably the most intelligent of all parrots!

Our little fellah...

* loves car rides

* on night drives, he can tell when we're 3 turns from home > chirps

* on night drives, he chirps when the lights go green

* he goes back to his cage on day drives as we pull into the driveway

* has a large vocabulary

* whistles when I come in the front door

* wolf whistles when on top of the shower screen and the naked person enters the shower

* toilet trained before coming out

* goes to the toaster when he wants "toasty toast"

etc.....

Very nice :)

Id still really love to get some nice lightning shots like that but it never storms here lol

Do you mind if I ask what program you used to process those photos?

I process my RAW files with Silkypix and then they are finished in Photoshop. Not much is done to them. The lightning photos only have white balance correction. The landscapes I have just adjusted the histogram curve with luminosity masks. Also some dodge and burn.

    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
