POTN Aussie Club #3: This one's going straight to the pool room.

If anyone is interested:

POTN Book #2 (http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/328383)

Maybe a group order?

Although I reckon we should do an Aussie one. Any takers?

yeah I'll be in for one. :)

[photobitz]

great pics Dan! :) crispy :)

Yeah, I was trying to keep them nice and crispy without too much noise. I used Corel to do some selective noise removal on certain parts. Seems to work pretty well.

That's not a cocatoo!!! ;) :P

Hahahaha :p

Oooh, I got one of those while testing my Brother's new 350D (Thanks Luke).

Friendly little guys aren't they? They are usually quite content to let you come right up close to them. Would probably take food if you offered.

Wow, nice photos! Thie highlight on the branch in the forst one, is that just stray light?


Yeah, it was just a lucky bit of sunlight that made it through the canopy. Did create a bit of a shadow on his chest though so I had to do a bit of mucking around in PP to even it out a bit. I cropped out most of the bird crap that was on the branch too ;)

The ones around home are somewhat skittish, like most of the birds around here, except the Grey Fantails, they're quite curious.

It looks like PLE in Perth has some - what's the difference?
HDD WD CAVIAR BLUE 500GB 7200/16MB/SATA2 # $85
or
HDD WD CAVIAR GREEN 500GB 7200/16MB/SATA2 # $95

[AndrewOz]

Yeah, they are quite capable. These were stock standard units on highway tyres (or tires :D ) and not even the offroad version. The offroad version has better crawl capability and difflocks and maybe more lift.

According to WD, the Blue ones are "Performance and Reliability for Everyday Computing" and the Green ones "Cool, Quiet, Eco-friendly"

Hmmm, well the crap in the background is blurred out a bit and gives it a sense of place, while the shooting into the sun I've seen in advertisements before. The subject is quite sharp and clearly the focus of the photo.

[Jim G]

For those in Newcastle the local computer fair does WD/Seagate/Samsung 750GB drives for $109-115 depending on what model it is... didn't check the 500GB prices last weekend.

Yep, several times. I find them to be reliable and courteous.

I think Sam (-spam-) is a big fan of Photo Buff. I tend to shop d-d-photographics myself.

Locally, I use Photo Buff and DDP, depending on pricing and availability. I prefer the latter if everything else is equal.

Speaking of which, ordered a 5D from DDP yesterday and it arrived today. Lovely camera.

Oh, and coalcliff just dropped in with his mate. Funny guys!! :D

If you get an international warranty card Canon Australia will honour the warranty, if not they won't. Mine have come with a card though I'd always ask before buying just in case.

DDP have assured me that Canon Australia only need to see their invoice ...

I called Canon Australia twice in the past 6 mo. or so and they said they needed to see both an invoice and an international warranty card or no warranty service could be provided... Last time I rang was about a month ago. May have changed!

[bubba zanetti]

DDP have assured me that Canon Australia only need to see their invoice ...

I bought a grey market L in the US & it had a problem shortly after. I took it to canon in brissy when i got home & they just asked to see my invoice. All fixed under warranty no questions. They sent it off to Canon sydney for the repairs.

[yabbie]

If you order online at DDP, do they ship the same day?

[bubba zanetti]

I actually asked them about it being 'grey' & they said they didnt care. They just wanted to see the date on the invoice/serial numbers.

Yeah, L series have international waranty. Non-L series lenses only are covered by local waranty, so if you buy in Thailand, only covered in Thailand etc.

[ofdphoto]

If you order online at DDP, do they ship the same day?
Yes, if you get your order in in time.

[ANGUS]

Any lens (L Or not) i have bought from DDP or BH has had warrenty services in Australia with just the receipt, no need to see the warrenty card or even if it was purchased localy. That L vs Non L Warrenty is not right at all

[AdamC]

Whee, I was just given a secret-squirrel photo assignment here at work. One of our workshop supervisors is retiring next week, and I've been asked to go take a sneaky candid shot of him at work. It's going to be framed and presented to him as a going away gift.

[Jim G]

Looks like bubba knows :D

Oh nice! It's good to have someone with real experience in that regard... somewhat comforting really :D

Yeah, L series have international waranty. Non-L series lenses only are covered by local waranty, so if you buy in Thailand, only covered in Thailand etc.

Hrm, everything I've seen (and, for what it's worth given that the "needs warranty card" seems to not hold out in practice, in the same calls to Canon) state that there's no difference in warranty between Ls and non-Ls. Bodies are a whole different matter - regional warranties only apply.

Hey has anyone seen those new Sony "Cycle Energy" NiMH batteries? They look like they have been made as competition for the Sanyo Eneloops. Pack of 4x 2000mAh AA is $20.

Now... anyone tried them out?

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention, the pack says they are rated to keep at least 85% charge if not used for 1 year (after full charge of course).

Due to some slight difficulties (we didn't have the right bypass plug and we didn't want to take the chance of shorting the wrong connector) we couldn't tune - so we set the groundwork for a tune on Saturday.

Pre-tune, 128.5kW in 4th gear, 131.2kW in 3rd gear.

Did you know 4th gear goes to 240km/h?? We almost fried the transmission fluid, haha. No wonder it's dyno'd in third for autos!

Front/rear bias is approx. 70/30 contrary to popular belief, says the dyno - managed to get it to 49/51 at the end of our ramp though, before the transmission decided to die on us at 240km/h.

Most of the local printing places in Newcastle will do 20x30" on the spot which sounds like about the size you're wanting - I imagine that Sydney ones would be similar?

Similar thing with the foamcore - I can pick it up from the large art suppliers in Newcastle or from framers - some of the local framers carry self-adhesive foamcore which is quite handy.

Give some of your locals a call... mounting something on foamcore isn't that difficult and a 32x40" sheet will set you back $15-18 for acid-free self-adhesive. Practice on some cut smaller sheets first, of course :D

[Michael]

Justin, I think Digital Works in Melbourne will mount stuff to foam core for you. They will express post it to you too, so you will get it quickly.

[kja]

I love Digital Works...their prints have been spot on every time and their service cannot be beat. I get stuff usually within two days from my order no extra shipping service requested...and to me here in Whoop Whoop, that's unheard of even if I get other companies to airbag stuff.

nods - most of the places in Newcastle do a 12x18 for around that price. I wonder what sort of printer they use... I know a few of the Newcastle labs are great for up to 8x12 but use a much lower quality printer for bigger stuff.

Heh - you should see me - touch typing with my nose. I have very dexterous nostrils....

Hang on - sneezing...

Finished checking, anyway. In case you care (about an old f@rt still slaving away)!!

[AdamC]

Which guys eh?

Not you. :p


your post count is way higher than mine

3,410 is way higher than 4,748? :rolleyes:

[Michael]

Not you. :p

Yeah... bit of a mathematical error there. Maybe that was referring to posts/day???

[-Pleiades-]

*sigh* David knew what I was talking about

Total Posts: 3,412 (9.83 posts per day)

Whereas mine is around 6 I think.

[willstar]

I reckon the cold Melbourne weather is affecting your ability to think logically. :rolleyes:

Everyone knows 4749 is higher than 3413.

And everyone knows my 3413 have been full of quality, style and class.... :lol:

And humour!

[-Pleiades-]

Bah, it's affecting my ability to do everything. Full stop.

....and ass.

[willstar]

Surely the cold can't be blamed for all that??!!

Why thangyou

[willstar]

Seriouslah, though, we heard the Melb forecast today - nice and chilly - perfect for our quick visit down this weekend.

Ah huh :(

Supposed to be hailing tomorrow. Probably just too cold to actually rain.

[willstar]

Woohoo - pretend snow - supersized.

[-Pleiades-]

yep. Only good thing about it is you don't get wet in it.

[willstar]

Meh - we're not leaving til Sat am, so should be gonski by then

Sorry to interrupt you 2! :p

But I have a shameless plug for my mate who is a great musician (posted a few pics of him in the past)

Just got a website up and running for him. Would like your feedback on the site quickly and the music even if you want (only the 1 track on the website at the moment...)

Pretty clean site - first impressions, I likey.

Aussie is with capital A (I'm picky, I know)
Song name "Where Your Coming From" is spelled differently at link - is it you or you're?

Need to shut browser to install plug in to play music, so will come back to that.

But overall, nice one.

As an aside, my wifey's cousin has set up his wife's website (she's a classical guitarist) and wrote the code manually for the entire site, ie hasn't used a web editor! He's a little OTT when it comes to that!

oohk, 14 and 15 on the weekend with the chance of showers.

[willstar]

S'OK - we don't mind the rain, nor the cooler weather (that's why we come down often!)

Anyhoo - bed is calling, work is finished. If I go to bed now, will get me 7 hours sleep before I need to get up again! (Benefits of work being 200 metres from home!)

Ciao

[-Pleiades-]

lol, night David.

Nice site Shane, don't mind the music either.s

Cheers,

Yeah I built the site just writing the code as well. I always do... can do more stuff that way I think. Oh well maybe it's just us engineer people always like to make it interesting for ourselves.

Didnt notice the capital A, Todd wrote that and I just pasted it in, better fix it, I'm too patriotic to let that slide ;)

Also know of the name differences.... fixing that up now

Cheers :)

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

A woodchuck would chuck all the wood it could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood!

[AdamC]

Yep that's definitely wrong, and the intro text has the same your/you're error as well. Looks nice otherwise!

[tangcla]

How to save $14 in postage

That is definitely worth saving $14 for :) Looks like a beautiful day!

[coalcliff]

Thanks Kristin! Got up this morning to do some pre dawns and thinking i had the world to myself and another photog walks onto MY rockplatform...Sheez!

Poor bugger couldn't afford a Canon. So while he was snapping, i printed an A4 off of him with the nice dawn rim light, in a darker version without the camera close up, and stuck it under his wipers on his car, the only one in the street i didn't recognise that had a warm engine still! I wonder what he thought?? lol

Thanks Jim, bit over saturated on here but was great to watch!

[Michael]

Looks great Damian!

Do you have a portable printer or something?

[coalcliff]

Nah, the shot of the photog was taken from my balcony with the 100-400.

I can just imagine the guy looking at the photo and thinking.."That looks a bit like me....hang on..it is me..where did this come from??" Probably be paranoid now lol.
