Here's one of the first shots I took on my shiny new V1. Man, it's awesome. :nod:

So, anyone with suggestions on places to go to get some shots with a camera that can do (almost) anything? ;)

Congratulations Steak - she looks damn fine indeed. And that rose is beautiful! How much was it?

Cheers about the rose. Well, strictly speaking, it cost AUD$2 - but it was part of a dozen my sister got from her boyfriend. Oh, and Sandwich asked if I'd edited it - I hadn't. But I did play around with lighting a bit when I took the shot:

PS: the best lightning shots are middle length exposure (1/24s < x < 1sec) - taken on a camera on a tripod with a thumb clicker - from LP (Low Precipitation) storms

If i hadn't learned to program I would have been a field research meterologist (laymens: a storm chaser with a PhD)
Post by: Fineus on March 13, 2004, 09:08:47 am
Stryke.. I think that lighting setup could be bought for about 40 pounds in a good hardware store? Just looks like a few lamps with clamps on metal stands...

Here's another shot. I almost walked into this wolf spider, scared the living daylights out of me. Warning, it's the size of my desktop.

Cheers. :) Once I get on the Harbour Bridge, I'll have kilometres of open water to take my photos from, and I'll make a note to try and get the sky completely uncluttered for you. ;)
Heh, cheers Kal. Sometimes the colours are beautiful only when there are clouds, but a clear sky is indeed a beautiful thing. I love how the sun is just kind of peeking out in that shot there. :nod:

kasperl: Yup, the light is way too white. It's the regular flash setting, is why :) I took that shot as comparison mostly.
I took this one with a Sony DSC-P1. It's not great, but it's more portable than the E-20p:

5:30am bro, to arrive at uni for my 8am start. :nod: When daylight saving finishes and as winter sets in, the sunrise will be even later than it is now, so I'll arrive in the city while it's still well and truly dark. :nod:
Oh, and while at the park adjacent to uni, I took some shots of the birdies with my mate Jeremy. Here's one of my favourites... posing like a bald eagle. :cool:

Okay, was experimenting with the longer exposure times (unfortunately, the max I've got is 30 seconds, so nothing to do with stars and the like) around the house. Here's a shot of me making a cup of Milo, but I forgot the camera was still going and left - so I look like a ghost. Check it out. :)
