Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread

[shayb]

Was Kelsey gripless as well? What about Shay? and Feng's friend (name escapes me at the moment) Nick was gripless as well but that is just because he can't buy a grip for his camera.

Let it be known far and wide that I have, and always will, have grip. thank you. :D

[Nick C.]

Another from last night. I guess they all come back with this view. Nigel and I walked to the bottom of the cliffs because wanted to try this shot again and wouldn't be there tonight.
I think you're right about us seeing a few shots like that lovely one when they all return. Looks like they may have escaped Mother Nature's wrath this evening, too.
Damn, I was hopin' they'd all get wet.

just loading them into the photoshop organiser now.

I almost had a heart attack though. I have an old school 1 gig cf card and it just started to fail on me tonight when I was loading the photos on. I was able to load most of them off the card, but not all. I think it's retirement time of the ol sandisk :(
Just be glad it was only 1 out of 4. I've wondered what sort of life expectancy CFs have. How long have you had that one for?

Let it be known far and wide that I have, and always will, have grip. thank you.
:lol:

[-Pleiades-]

couple of years, so I'm actually suprised it's lasted as long as this!

Only 234 photos to go.....

Thanks, we got a brief shower about 20min ago but only enough to wet the ground.

I seem to remember seeing that CFs last a few years only. Mmmm, I just gave the wife my oldest to take with her to London. :o She only has a little P&S (3Meg) with 2x512 and 1x256 cards.

Only a couple of years? Well that's a good reason not to sink your money into the higher capacity cards.

[-Pleiades-]

I'm going through them now....

[-Pleiades-]

k....here's one of the first ones. Just some random weed flowers I found on the ground.

Straight out of the camera, just a resize :D

Actually looking back agt that it could do with some pp-ing....

[Nick C.]

Not much I reckon. I like that pretty much how it is.

[-Pleiades-]

yeah, just a little. Little bit of a saturation boost and a touch of USM.

[-Pleiades-]

Alrighty, this is a run down abandoned house out at Jiggi (kinda near Nimbin). Definatley seen better days!

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s130/KinnonBellPhotography/house.jpg

[Nick C.]

The saturation looks good to me. Well, that's on my NEC. If I move it to the laptop it does look a little under-saturated (considerable difference). I have to do some prints so I can verify my calibration.

[Nick C.]

Definatley seen better days!
How do you know? The builder might have had a thing for 'old-world charm' :)

[-Pleiades-]

I'll trust your NEC then, I'm on a laptop too.

That house one is probably over-saturated then :S

[-Pleiades-]

I can hear the real estate agent now "this house is full of old world charm and is an absolute renovators delight!"

through the back door....

Not too bad. Mind you, I'd be quite partial to more of a bleached effect given the subject matter.

It was another night of flash wars - possibly more so than last night.

Not too bad. Mind you, I'd be quite partial to more of a bleached effect given the subject matter.


That's a door?:confused:

ah huh, and there was a lovely little 'window box' growing some beautiful weeds off to the left.

I intend to have more of a play with the house photo and try a more desaturated look or maybe even make it sepia, at least something to make it look more old school.

All I'm doing at the moment is just going though my photos chucking them in photoshop and just pretty much resizing them.

Anyone need to use the toilet? (and no, my horizon is level and it's not lens distortion....)

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s130/KinnonBellPhotography/outhouse.jpg

and here is a different view (http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s130/KinnonBellPhotography/outhouse2.jpg)

I know. I was just thinking out loud.

The loo looks in better shape than the house. I like that lower angle.

[-Pleiades-]

the outhouse is at an old church, no relation to the other house

The trucks first ever day at the beach.....

Who got to wash it down this arvo?

[Nick C.]

ooooh, I like that one!

Cool shot Nick, I like the PPing.
Thanks guys. I was just trying to make it look a little different to the others.

[-Pleiades-]

Who got to wash it down this arvo?

Aaron of course, it's his truck!

Although, technically the hilux's shouldn't rust because they made of gal steel.

[-Pleiades-]

Thans Helen :D

A BIF....kinda.... (http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s130/KinnonBellPhotography/bif.jpg)

alrighty, last two.

Can't decide which ones I like better.

They're unusual crops because I had annoying objects in the foreground.... :(

I think I'm leaning toward #1...?

[Carjo]

My trusty ol' Powershot A200 still lives!

Thanks for the offers to lend me a cf card, I ended up buying one. 256mb = $20 :D

Noisy as hell, but what would you expect from a 7 year old, 2MP camera with NO optical zoom whatsoever (it's a prime lens - all digital). ;)

I'll get to the one/s I took on Helen's 350D as soon as I can figure out how to get them off the card. :confused:

[-Pleiades-]

Hmmm....actually, nah,I've decided I don't like either. They both look like there should be more down the bottom.

I like the colour in #1 but I think seeing the top of the clouds in #2 adds more depth to the picture. Both have their appeal.

[Nick C.]

Why's it different to the A200?

[Carjo]

Why's it different to the A200?

The 350D shots were taken in RAW, so the camera interface won't recognise them. Did a quick search on here, seems I might need to borrow Dad's card reader.

[asxu]

rob, i'm suprised with those a200 shots.. just run them through noise ninja and they might look alright.

[asxu]

i just realised i stuffed up my iso settings, i was in 1600 most of the time ;_;

better luck next time, i guess.

[Nick C.]

Bugger.

Well, I'm off to bed. Still behind on sleep and I've got to get up at 5:30 again tomorrow.
I'm sure I'll see plenty more shots from this evening when I check back tomorrow afternoon.
Night all.

[-Pleiades-]

grrrr, I hate photoshop (or more so my lack of skill) how hard is it to make something sepia! I've followed the instruction, a lot of good that did me.

To mak something b&w is easy as, why can't sepia be!

[Ospi]

Twas a good night (bar losing my lens hood, RIP). Going through photies now, discarding ones taken with my tripod, now burning tripod.

[asxu]

currently downloading my pics.. so annoyed that i stuffed my iso settings up.

[shayb]

Well that's a good reason not to sink your money into the higher capacity cards.

I was just looking into that. What do you think my chances are of buying a "genuine" sandisk card on ebay and it turning out to be a fake?

[asxu]

haha reece, we just had to laugh when you had to hammer in the leg with your hand.

[PeacePlanet]

Home sweet home ... :D we forget to sing Happy Birthday song to Helen ... here we go ... :D

While I didn't hang out with you guys, had a nice night and a different view, still using point and shoot, got a new one for fathers day it's a Fuji,a825, I'm waiting for Justin to upgrade before I break into the DSLR department.

Here some pics from today.

Hey look, with a sturdy tripod i can actually make out a building in the distance:
http://ospi.smugmug.com/photos/194412897-O.jpg

AMAZING, even using the rock wall as a surface to take pics is better than my tripod:

http://ospi.smugmug.com/photos/194413226-O.jpg

[asxu]

it turned up in plenty of my shots too reece, will have to go there again some time and see if it's still there.

[Primm]

You just made me go and look, and it's in my shots too! But slightly over to the side, because I was in a different position to you.

How bizarre!

[Ospi]

Yeah its a conspiracy.

nother shot:

I like yours, Ruth. Simplicity (shorter flame trail) sometimes wins out in my opinion. The shorter exposure also prevented G (?) from becoming too blurred, another plus in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, Sam's is okay too. :)

* Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 35/1 second = 35.00000 second
* Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 22/1 = F22.00
* ISO Speed Ratings = 200

Yeah I wasn't expecting that to come out as "well" as it did because it was darker when I chimped it. I have a couple where I tried using the on-camera flash with the 12-24 and there is this huge shadow on the ground. The 12-24 might be a little to big and wide, eh? :lol:

I almost fell over in shock :D the queen of wide... saying something's TOO wide!!! oOooer :shock:

[Ospi]

Hmmm.... i just had a few kind police officers rock up at the front door looking for the last tennants :confused:

Got dodge?

Damn uni internet... booooo... I'll watch it when I get home.

Anyway I heard/saw/read/whatever somewhere that Jennifer Hawkins will be at Chermside shopping centre one day. Perhaps we go to that.

[asxu]

let's do it, rofl.. could be great fun!

[asxu]

well, it depends on the shopping centre rules, as it is private property..

[Ospi]

i dont think they would take kindly to that at all, specially of a real celeb. Needs to be random city mall type stuff.

[luke001]

Ask her if she's seen any celebs around lol

Stores like Myer usually have a policy that prohibits photos being taken inside their premises. Shopping centres themselves usually have rules like this too, so if a security guard sees a large group of people with cameras like we have then I doubt we'd be allowed to stay there much longer.

[HelenThura]

mmm page 500.

Hoepfulluy I can get some time tonight to start going through my photos because other than a quick flick I haven't had a looksie at all.

That idiot paparazzi is a crackup.

It wasn't too wide, the cliffs were just too far from the city :D

How else can you partake in flashwars if you don't???

Re Batteries and recycle time. I have duracell 2650 mAh rechargables and have had the same batteries in since I got it gee July? and I use my flash a far bit. Those things are powerhorses.

[Primm]

and I use my flash a fair bit.

Hmmm. Not necessarily for photographing things though, right? :lol:

[PeacePlanet]

First one I managed to process so far. HDD is out of space so have to do major delete of old files again. Time to buy another external HDD.

Not too happy with this shot ... something is not right there ...

Actually I had the first hand of being thrown out of a shopping centre for spending too much time taking pictures inside. I think though if we spread out a bit, then we should be (maybe) ok :D

does anyone know of any decent printing labs? i just need a few prints done, not hundreds.

I've had a couple of 8x12's done at Fotofast in the Myer Centre. Can't vouch for their quality because I got them to print a couple of neg scans so the quality was compromised before they went anywhere near the print station.

If you're looking for the humble 4x6, then Kmart is usually where I go for digital prints. Ah, trusty ol' Kmart. :lol:

I've heard people at BCG give their utmost approval for this place called Digilab on the northside. Once again better if you're only after prints that are bigger than 4x6.

Only one i know of off the top of my head is Pro Lab at south bank. But i would use them only as a last resort (they wouldnt know what customer service is if it bit them in the a**)

[Carjo]

Whereabouts do you live, Tim?

[asxu]

i need a single 8x12, i live in carindale.

They're also very, very expensive. Be prepared to pay with a major body part. ;)

Thats if you can even get the attention of anyone at the front desk in the first place.

Just had a thought, there is also Teds Camera House. They should be able to do larger decent prints

Forgot about them. And I forgot about Photo Continental, too. They're probably closer to you, Tim.

[asxu]

mm.. i'll have to ring up and see what their prices are.. shouldn't be anything too out of my league, i guess.

[asxu]

rob, could you pm your last name to me? i'm trying to add you to myspace, haha.
