Andrew, I had a quick edit to see if we could improve the image. Hope she likes her hair a shade lighter, a side effect of the shadow highlight adjustment.!

I want to start an EPL tipping comp this season to find out who's POTNs #1 tipper. Some interest would be great, so leave a message This Thread (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=732417). If the numbers roll in I'll create the comp.

Do it! :lol:

QPR are gold! They got bumped up from div 3 in '05 while I was over there. I went to a few of their games at Loftus Rd (Lived just next to the Stadium - On Australia Rd :lol:) They'll be in the premiere league soon. :D

They're not strong enough to contend for a playoff spot in the Championship, despite the money that they have. Haven't even tried to buy anyone decent as far as I know. We've picked up Leroy Lita on a free, decent signing considering we've gotten rid of Mido (thankfully), Tuncay will go soon and Downing's gone to Villa. We'll be back up before they are :lol:

Hi All,

Ghetto light box is complete. I went down to the garage and found some plastic from an old water container, a cardboard folder, and a roll of masking tape, and some scrunched up paper towels to stop light leaking.

Behold!!

They ended up 11th last year but were pretty high for quite a while there. New players doesn't always get you wins. If they're squad is working they'll be able to pull it off. :p

Not to worry. Its a 12v flouro work light with an 'unbreakable' (famous last words) polycarbonate shell. Its a torpedo light by Evakool. http://www.evakool.com/products-minibar.shtml

Doesnt generate heat other than a slightly warm around the resistors? in the base of the light.

[ANGUS]

Looks good Scott, hello from a fellow Liberty owner ;)

Parents where about to buy a Liberty but just got a Forester XS Premium. They (for some reason unknown to me) want a car down in Melbourne when i move there for when they come down. The amount they will likely be coming it would be cheaper to rent a car but its up to them. Are Forester's welcome at your photo shoots :lol:

You have to remember that this is the same channel that has vacuous women going ga ga over plastic containers.

Nice shots Scott. I like the second one myself... the first one seems a little wobbly on the right hand side like it was done freehand with a smudge tool. I think the JPG compression is stuffing up the colour transition too.

HELP!

some one posted a great link for The Photographers "something" a site that gave you moon, sun and tide positions and angles for any given location on earth on any day. I thought I bookmarked it, but i cant find it...:(:(

Anyone used an EF 20mm f/2.8 before? Impressions?

I have a 24/2.8 and I'd say it's from the same generation as the 20 (about 20-30 years old). It's very much an unspectacular lens. It's not fast relative to other primes, neither is the 20. I do regularly shoot wide open and results are good. Doesn't hunt much surprisingly but not the quickest focusing lens either.

[S7000]

Anyone used an EF 20mm f/2.8 before? Impressions?

If you don't need AF so much, I'd suggest picking up and old MF lens. Apart from being much much cheaper, some of the results are very nice. I'm loving this 28mm I picked up. :lol:

Hi All.

After being sick for another two days (have I mentioned how much I hate winter this year?)... I come back to work, and find a large box of Battery goodness. I hope to have time to day to package them all up, but if not, it'll have to happen Monday.

Can you all start PMing me your details? I'd like:

Name
Company (if applicable for invoice w/ ABN would be nice too to keep my books pretty)
Postal Addess
Billing Address if different
Phone

That way the consignment note is complete.

Thanks.

OK. To those who replied, thanks. Your items have been posted.

I will PM those who haven't incase they haven't checked in for a while. I will also finalise the pricing and get back to you along with invoices for those who want them.

Thanks Phil, but that wasn't the one I was looking for.

This was called the TP(insert 3rd letter here)

It gave the angle of the sun, the moon as well as the times and the tides, i think it was back when Mark was shooting a Dawn in Perth...:eek:

I'll have a look when i get on my computer at home and see if i can find it for you.

I'm at school at the moment though so it wont be til later. sorry.

Hi All,

I am about to embark on trying to organise and catalogue a whole heap of old pics that are on various cd's and dvd's around the place. Problem is, there's a heap of duplication.

I recall at one stage there was some application that used a rudimentary image-analysis to decide if pictures were duplicates, even if they had different filenames and no meta-data. It may even have been a Microsoft product, IIRC.

Does anyone know about this, or have any better solution than manually looking through thousands of pics in Lightroom.

I'd prefer a Mac (or Linux) program, but I do have access to *shudder* Windows if necessary.

[S7000]

Dunno if that's more helpful. It looks like it has the angle of the sun, but nothing about the moon.

I dunno the site you were after, but this is the best I could get if you need the info quickly.

I will be waiting for a link for this other site though, I could use a little bit more info when shooting sunsets. :lol:

Just finished dinner preperations. On the menu is: A roast chicken (On the BBQ with a hickory filled smoke box), on top of a layer of red onion, garlic and thyme, (With a clove of garlic and some thyme in the cavity for good measure). Thyme roasted Kipfler & sweet potato, pumpkin and zuchinni. Halved and roasted tomato with garlic, thyme, pepper and parmesan.

Dessert will be ice cream I think. :lol:

And before you ask, yes, I did buy a whole bunch of thyme which I wanted to use so it didn't go to waste. :p

BINGO!

I think it depends on your market. "onesix" could work for the modern yuppy market of fashion shoots and whatnot.

BTW I would recommend spelling it "one-six" otherwise you'll get weirdos trying to pronounce it as one word... on-ess-ix

Saying that, most people here didn't get it until someone mentioned it, so would other people really get it or just think its just a name?

BINGO!

I think it depends on your market. "onesix" could work for the modern yuppy market of fashion shoots and whatnot.

BTW I would recommend spelling it "one-six" otherwise you'll get weirdos trying to pronounce it as one word... on-ess-ix

Sorry Dan didnt see this post before.

Good point on the market view. I guess since i'm not after that it could be better to go with my name?

Alternatively, go with one-six and then prove the world wrong and make it into a well known brand. It'll be a bit harder initially as nothing about it says photography to the average Joe, but if you work at it might just come together.

[NicD]

Just to clarify on where the one-six came from.

Although yes it is my current age, it's also the age that i realised that i would like to pursue photography as a career, so it is more then just my current age.

IMO the 1.8m stands are not stable enough with an attached light modifier.

Question -

Do any one of you limit the size of your photos (kb) on your website so they can't print them? Ive been saving them 160-180kb but not sure if I should start making them less.

I'd add some shadow in there somehow, maybe a small harsh one rather than a soft one. Cut off the edges of the rectangle covering the N so it's only in the diamond and maybe fit 'photography' under the ND on the inside edge of the diamond. Definitely a good idea but just expand on it a bit more and you'll be fine.

I might make up a "logo" tomorrow instead of just using text all the time. If I can be bothered :lol:

Anything that goes on the web (Flickr for me), I export from Lightroom at 500px on the long edge. They end up around 100-200kb depending on detail, colours, etc but they definitely don't work for a 6x4/5x7. My sister printed one by accident :lol:

What is to busy?

The name? The change of black/white?

[fungry]

I agree with Al, it is busy and the fonts reading your name +photography seem stretched as well. It is awkward.

I export for web in lightroom using 75% quality and long edge of 1064pixels.

Seems to work for me.

I see what you mean about the diamond, ill give that a shot now.

That's cool. I'd play around with colours when you've got the final product too, but I'd keep the white and just change the black to something like a blue or a red.

Just finished dinner preperations. On the menu is: A roast chicken (On the BBQ with a hickory filled smoke box), on top of a layer of red onion, garlic and thyme, (With a clove of garlic and some thyme in the cavity for good measure). Thyme roasted Kipfler & sweet potato, pumpkin and zuchinni. Halved and roasted tomato with garlic, thyme, pepper and parmesan.

Dessert will be ice cream I think. :lol:

And before you ask, yes, I did buy a whole bunch of thyme which I wanted to use so it didn't go to waste. :p

sounds better then "spagetti a la crap" at uni dining hall tonight :(

I like the concept, but as Dan said, it's rather busy to the point of being epileptic fit inducing if it were to flash ;-)

But I think you're on the right track anyway.

Nic,

One thing I learnt in typography classes was not to stretch words. Pretty much most design ideas are acceptable bar that. In short (there is a long winded explanation) it always looks awkward.

Secondly, I think this could work however the rectangle in the triangle with the mirrored colour scheme is what's making it look busy. You're obviously going for a symmetrical balance with it, so you need to keep that idea in mind. Instead of adding a shape on top, maybe have the mirror on the diamond shape that's already there. (Ie. from top to bottom down the centre). This will give it the balance you're after, and it will stop the left side looking busy.

Just my 0.02c

I also think softer colours might work for you. Black Vs White the extreme for contrast.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I will have a play around with this tonight when i get home from school.

Possibly late on this but your name and bus name on either side complicates a very bold design.
