Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread

[-spam-]

Oh and here's the link for PROLAB (http://www.prolab.com.au/Prolab2/web2/Main_htm_Files/Final%20Pages/Final%20Main%20Pages/Final%20Main%20html%20Pages/Company%20Details.htm). I've had some pretty good results from them over the years.

I took a couple of rolls of film in there once. Got there and there was no one at the front desk, rang the bell and waited 10 minutes. Rang the bell again and waited longer.

Think i waited for over half an hour and after ringing the bell several times no one came out. I left with my film saying that photo continental can get my money.

[PeacePlanet]

So what is new apart from the usual not so sublte subliminal messages plus the cold cold COLD Brisbane Winter ... oh yeah .. everything is going up in price .. that is right folks ...

Found this native bee on a peg and could not/would not fly for some reason.

So, I spent an hour or so taking its picture. Lucky me, it did not sting me :D since I think I am allergic to them. Got swollen hand a while back with a wasp I believe.

Enjoy another extreme cold night :D

Peace

[catsith]

Hey Guys, sorry to interrupt the not-so-subliminal lens buying encouragements, but where would one go to print photos in Brisbane?

Say if I wanted something enlarged and put in a frame for all to see.

Thanks

I get my prints done at Kayell labs, you can google it, and you can spend an arm and a leg at a framers getting it framed, or chat to me, I can mat and frame, but am busy till end sep.

I went in a couple of months ago and there was someone at the desk. Asked him how much for a 36 exp. roll of colour print film and he said somewhere in the vicinity of $40. They can do a develop only for a reasonable price, but to print it they scan it on a negative scanner and print from the digital file, charging for both. On top of that they charge for each individual frame that gets scanned and printed. You're lucky you didn't waste your money, Sam - they're out of their minds.

A little birdie told me that someone was looking for a 50mm 1.4 somewhere in this thread... any takers? ;) Also got a 580EX forsale. Damn, you guys have a thread here about as big as the general Aussie one... how come? :p

Thanks Tina, I'll check them out too.
In regards to framing, I'm not yet ready to make the plunge, nor have a photo worthy of getting profesionally framed.
I'm more looking at just buying a half decent frame to suit my picture.

Thanks all for the help.

Just throwing out an idea for those who have nothing to do on Saturday.

Why not go take pics of the hundreds of Harry Potter's lining the streets to get the book? I'm dressing up with my friends (lol, cause we're cool like that) and getting the book before anyone can spoil it for me. I'll only be taking my P&S, but it's pretty good.

[troypiggo]

Just to continue the general tone of this thread recently.

Anyone interested in a seldom used, as new condition, 50mm F1.8, make me a reasonable offer and it's yours. Complete with orignal box etc. Going to upgrade to 50mm F1.4 for the USM when I'm shooting Volleyball.

Oh, bugger. I just bought one yesterday :-(

Framing is not that hard - I suggest looking in the local TAFE adult type courses. I did one in Canberra - years and years ago - that went for 6 weeks (2hrs each Wednesday night).

It certainly works out cheaper in the long run and gives great satisfaction to do it yourself.

Sounds like an idea hehhehe :d havent been out taking pictures for any event so I might if I can get up early .. now what time should be the best time for that ? and where ? :D

Cheers

[catsith]

just a tip yuztoo, get your photo printed, take a blank sheet the size of your photo, and then shop for a big enough frame. You can then, if needed, get a mat to suit the frame, as i have found ready made frames to be a bit difficult to match with the inbuilt mat. (if they have one)

[catsith]

sorry kelsey, i am busy saturday. have fun though! Post us a piccie of your get-up!

[shayb]

I'm keen on doing something tomorrow.

Canon EF 100-400L F4-5.6 IS for sale Perfect condition! PM me

Gah... all this stuff for sale! They're the ones I want, too. It's all very tempting but I'm trying to save my hard-earned money for a 400D :(

Today was a very hectic day for me indeed. Me, my wife and Connor welcomed the latest addition to the Lewis family. Stella Maree came into this world at 12:47pm 20/07/2007. Attached are photos of the main attraction as well as the the Lewis Clan with their newest member. I won't go into as much detail as Luke did ;) but suffice to say that i feel for what he and his wife went through.

[balus]

Has anyone used a Sigma EF-500 DG ST E-TTL Shoe Mount Flash (Guide No. 165'/50 m at 105mm) for Canon EOS with E-TTL II? At around USD150 it looks to me as a fair replacement for a 430EX.

oh and congratulations, lovely family

[Nick C.]

My god, there's babies popping out everywhere.

Congratulations, Stuart!

Anyone else going up to the WideBay Inernational Air show (http://www.widebayairshow.com.au/) in bundaberg in 2 weeks time?

[Mat Fitzsimmons]

Congratulations, Stuart! :)

[connormmii]

Thanks to everyone for there congratulations. I know it takes a lot out the woman having a baby but none realises what mental exhaustion the would be fathers endure. I am totally knackered, although staying up until 1 in the morning wetting said baby's head doesnt help;)

[-spam-]

Ill join in and also say congrats Stuart. Bet someone wont be getting much sleep for a few months now.

Oh and Feng, i see you laid claim to that box of goodies on OCAU. Ill buy the ricoh rangefinder out of it if you want to sell it. Ive been looking for one to use as a film point and shoot for a very long time now and was about to make an offer on just that until i saw that you have offered to take the lot.

Connor, sorry for forgetting to congratulate you. Here we go ... "Congratulations on the arrival of the new baby". I am sure your household is enjoying the new member of the clan. Lots of smile ... or rather happy crying ???? Well, with children both parents have their moments I am sure.


Hope your older children gotten their Harry Potter's last book. I saw lots of happily jumping children at the sales' opening. Now, I was a bit blushed when asked by Peter Beattie if I was a photographer. Not sure what to answer to that one ????? (he was just asking for someone to take a picture of the security guy with him with the cam phone). A journoulist saved the day with the offering and leaving me more time to take Mr Premier's photo instead:D.

Hope your days been good and lots of photos. Great day out there. Clouds and sky were very nice.

Peace

For all i know, she has probably finished it by now...

Hi all, hows the weekend been?

Anybody else using a Win Mobile Phone, I found a cool free app for mine this arvo. Called slide 2 unlock, it gives a slide bar on the touch screen to unlock the phone. Apparently the iPhone does this and the Apple lawyers have started to throw their weight around.

[connormmii]

The beer's okay though

You must be kidding!!! I would rather drink VB than most NZ beers. There is only a few worth mentioning Montieth's Celtic Red is the best Kiwi beer by far very nice. Speight's is ok but i found it too gassy with no head.

Yeah I love the reach... still a bit ho hum about push pull zoom, but I'm sure it's one I'd get used to. I don't think this copy I'm using is all that sharp... but it seemed ok when I went out shooting today. I don't think I could've got half the shots I got today with a 70-200 :).

[::John::]

lol - um - what are you really saying...

It was quite easy - just like flying interstate here now but with the bonus of duty free that was true duty free. Kiwis were restricted, back then, with how much cash they could carry out of the country ($1000 a trip to a maximum of $4000 a year and anything over that had to be approved prior to travel) but a grand bought a LOT of things then. (for example and perspective, $25,000 bought me a three bedroomed house in Auckland)

Very nice. Yeah when i first saw it i really wanted to make an offer, but the last thing i need is a heap more old camera stuff. Although, like i said in an earlier post, im looking for a rangefinder to use as a point and shoot camera and then develop the film myself at home. Ill buy the ricoh off you if you want to sell it :)

[catsith]

AAARRGGHHH, has anyone ever come across this problem? I am shooting, but my camera doesn't seem to be able to send the information the card. I take my shot, wait for the review, and it doesn't happen. the little red lights flickers, and then nothing, i am back to where i was before i took the shot. It doesn't happen all the time, it is intermittent, and doesn't matter if i shoot raw or jpeg. It is really peeving me, i thought at first it was a memory card problem, but i have used several cards, and it is happening on all of them! Off to photoc. tomorrow, thank god i got my camera from them, but now i am stressing, as i head off to cairns on tuesday.

Do the images appear on your computer if you put the card in its card reader? If so, your camera is recording the images, so maybe the LCD screen on your camera isn't showing them.

You talk Belgian Beer you talk STELLA ARTOIS makes Heineken taste like pi55 (actually it is:D). If you like Guinness and Kilkenny try BODDINGTONS that is the guaranteed beer with fish and chips.

Now a good cider on the other hand, pear preferably though I only get that in Europe or even a good pilsner. Strongbow is dodgy cheap cider. Sydney Cider which is now really hard to get and actually from Adelaide is niiiiice.

Mmmm, a meal in every glass... I had a couple Friday arvo over at Union Jacks in Charlotte St. Helps that I walk right out the front door at work and cross the road to Union Jacks.:D:D

I'm rather fond of Stella also. Lately I've been drinking a bit of Carlton Black.

Nice shots there folks. I had a rather dismal weekend shooting wise, out to my parents place for morning tea today and I took a walk around the dam looking for any type of insects. None! To dry and cold for much to be out and about. Roll on spring I say.

[connormmii]

Finding a place that does Boddingtons in Brisbane properly is a problem as with a lot of the creamy ales because the CO2/NO2 mix has to be done properly also temperature is a problem as they need to be served chilled not ice cold like lagers. once kilkenny, guinness or boddingtons gets chilled past a certain point some of the flavour starts to disapear. The Bearded Dragon at the bottom of Mt Tamborine does a very nice Boddingtons and is also very picturesque for the DSLR to enjoy itself also. You'll find me there most sundays for the Boddies and the cane toad races. Oh and cider if you can find it any where try either BULMERS or SCRUMPY JACK but be careful very drinkable and very potent.

[Meaty0]

The beer's okay though

See! I make one tiny little mention of the word "beer" and you lot are off...for about 30 posts no less discussing it.

I reckon the Belgian Beer Cafe is the place to go although im not sure many photos would get taken....well not by me anyway. Also in regards to beer is it only me thats peeved that they have reduced the sizes on the cans of kilkenny they used to be 440ml not they are a paltry 330ml squeezing more blood from a smaller stone.

mmmmm belgian beer goodness :) lol :)

I think they'd sell some cider of some description for Helen ;)

[HelenThura]

But you're a girl :D we expect you to like Cider and not beer :D ehehhe (j/k)... /me ducks to dodge the swinging blow :)

hahah :D no idea really :D i quite like Hoegaarden, but I think Guiness is my of choice beer if I just wanted one for the sake of having one... though it's MUCH nicer on tap than in a can.

Helen still owns a larger lens than Feng..... wack comes the 70-200.


Helen what lens are you using for those gig photos?

Nifty 50, though I used the sigma 30mm a little bit but find that it is just a wee bit too wide. now I Mat and I swapped my 30mm + hair curler for a 35mm I think it would be just right....

Finding a place that does Boddingtons in Brisbane properly is a problem as with a lot of the creamy ales because the CO2/NO2 mix has to be done properly also temperature is a problem as they need to be served chilled not ice cold like lagers. once kilkenny, guinness or boddingtons gets chilled past a certain point some of the flavour starts to disapear. The Bearded Dragon at the bottom of Mt Tamborine does a very nice Boddingtons and is also very picturesque for the DSLR to enjoy itself also. You'll find me there most sundays for the Boddies and the cane toad races. Oh and cider if you can find it any where try either BULMERS or SCRUMPY JACK but be careful very drinkable and very potent.

mmmm Scrumpy's, there is also somewhere in the city that does Boddingtons, though I can't think of where at the moment.

Reason #X to move to NZ - Kopparberg (http://www.kopparbergs.co.nz/), the best cider company in the world, is now exporting to NZ. My aunt and uncle are coming over on the weekend.

You talk Belgian Beer you talk STELLA ARTOIS makes Heineken taste like pi55 (actually it is:D). If you like Guinness and Kilkenny try BODDINGTONS that is the guaranteed beer with fish and chips.

Now thats pretty good. Although i wouldnt mind if they had a bit more product knowledge over there. I went in one day with my 400d when i still had it and was just looking at stuff in the window. I overheard a salesman trying to explain things about it to a young family. They wanted to have a play with it but the battery in the demo one was dead. So i offered to show them mine. Turns out i knew more about it than the guy that worked there and through the questions the people asked me, i made a sale for them.

Should have asked for a commision on the sale :rolleyes:

You couldnt be sued. The bookstore is close enough to a public area i think. If you take a photo of someone doing anything in a public space, you have nothing to worry about.

That really wouldn't suprise me, as when I knew the boys they were both up for a good joke/laugh etc.

Paul - A lot of it really comes down to the weather(wind), a wee bit of photoshop and a black card. It all depends on how much wind you have. If it is really still the smoke just clouds the fireworks but if it is really windy they fireworks go a bit awol. You need just the right amount of wind to clear the sky but that is it. Photoshop does wonders for increasing the local contrast to darken the smoke, which makes it less visable and the black card does wonders for covering the lens between mortors and thus reducing the smoke as much as possible.

I was talking to my brother last night about cameras and lenses as we normally do and the fact that when we go full frame, man there are all these extra lenses you will need to get. An 85mm to replace the 50mm for concerts etc etc. Why don't I just get my pay going directly to Canon? could make it easier.

Now, for those who went to the last meet and remember the run in i had with that drunk guy this next bit might be amusing. Taken from the "Assaulting Photographers" section...

Although property owners may use "reasonable force" to evict people, they can never threaten violence ("assault"), detain you at length ("false imprisonment (http://www.newsreview.com/issues/reno/2005-04-21/news.asp)"), push you around and seize your camera or film ("battery"), or even force you to delete digital files ("coercion (http://www.nppa.org/news_and_events/news/2006/08/ny.html)"). Rent-a-cops, supermarket clerks, shopping centre managers and even customers at a Haldon Street Cafe in Lakemba (http://4020.net/unposed/blad.php#lakemba) should take careful note.

Most legislation isn't too bad if you break it down. But whatever you do, don't venture into taxation law. You'll give yourself a hernia just trying to lift the paperwork :shock:

And speaking of legislation I'm reminded of one of my favourite sections of the Criminal Code Act. Is anyone else here a JP? Read on for your 'duty' in case you ever come across an unlawful assembly :):

s64 Rioters remaining after proclamation ordering them to disperse

(1) Whenever any persons, to the number of 12 or more, are riotously assembled together,
it is the duty of some 1 of the following persons, that is to say, the sheriff or under-sheriff
or a justice of the peace, or, if the assembly is in a municipality, the mayor, to go amongst
them, or as near as he or she can safely come to them, and to command or cause to be
commanded with a loud voice that silence be kept while the proclamation next hereinafter
mentioned is made, and then openly and with a loud voice to make proclamation, or
cause proclamation to be made, in these words or to the like effect—Our Sovereign Lady the Queen charges and commands
