POTN Aussie Club #6 - What does the 'P' stand for anyway??

[NicD]

Hey guys,

how has everyone been?

I havn't had a chance to post lately because of another basketball tournament, (grandfinal this afternoon)

I finally purchased my 580EXII yesterday, and so far am loving it although havnt had much chance to use it.

sorry to interrupt.

[fungry]

Windows 7 isn't releasing yet. It is only RC1.
If you manage to get the RC1 image, you just download it, burn it, boot it.

Enjoy your new 580EXII Nic. I've hade mine for awhile but I haven't made much use of it. My experiences with ETTL have been fairly subpar...

Oh, so you don't even have to buy it? Or does it mean you had to have the beta version?

Apparently it will be release as a retail version near the end of the year.

It would be handy to have a Parliament House or Canberra based photog for a fund-raiser I am participating in on Wednesday 6th May

Basically, its an adventure motor bike relay across 3 states to raise funds for cancer research and treatment. On Wednesday we hit Canberra and meet Senator Kay Lundy on the steps of Parliament House.
If not I will just do it "myspace" style with a long arm so the whole group is in the shot!;)

[Backflipboy]

What?! Yesterday afternoon's sunset was awesome! And I only had my iPhone... :(

I was sitting in the Botanic Gardens, watching wedding 'togs shoot brides and grooms, with the sunset over the Harbour Bridge and Opera House...it was such a nice afternoon.

Then it started raining...

Anyway, here's a crappy iPhone photo so you know i'm not lying.

I can't wait for whatever work they are doing on the bridge is finished and they get the lights on the north side working properly so I can get out and take some decent shots of it again.

How easily can you go back to Vista and what do you need? If it's not a safe option then I might not do it.

From my understanding, you don't need to be in the beta to get the RC. End of this year sounds about right. OSX 10.6 hopefully in June at WWDC :)

You'll need to reinstall to revert back to whatever OS you want to use. That is why it is a RC, gives you an oppurtunity to try the OS.

In other news! http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/biztech/windows-7-to-make-public-debut-next-week/2009/05/01/1240982388885.html

Maybe I shouldn't bother with the whole Vista thing, and just get this...

Interesting, may get dad to grab it from MSDN and chuck it on the server to see how the RC runs over the beta we have at the moment.

Still holding out for Snow Leopard, but i think Im going to grab an old hard drive and check out ubuntu 9.04, think it came out a little over a week ago.

When I did that the servers were returning errors, apparently they were overloaded. I would assume they have solved the issue by now.

Nah, I have the drives sitting around and I want to see how it runs on my machine using all the resources available. Either way, I need to have it on hand given Ill be providing tech support for a few people at uni that I convinced to switch late last year.

Breaking away from the OS talk for a second, I was wondering if anyone knew of any software/places that could help me make one of those pictures made up of lots of little photos..

I ask because I'm leaving cadets soon (end of the month), and like many before me, I want to give a gift to the squadron. Seeing as I've taken 1000's of photos at cadets, I wanted to use some of them to make said multi-photo image. Something in the form of a simplified Squadron logo:

Nah, I'll probably get another two this week or next week. I charged my Canon one (the other is an aftermarket one, not sure of the brand) and I was just shooting around the house and it's already on low and flashing. The other one is much better and I don't think I'll try staying with just the 2 for very long.

I was considering getting a couple of 2GB cards as well but I didn't think it was worth it in the end. I've got 2 4GB's formatted with a computer rather than in-camera but I'm still not sure if I actually have 4GB of space or not. I've read FAT16's limit is 2GB but everyone always says if you format it out of the camera, you'll get the full capacity.

For somewhere smack in the middle of Sydney, it was surprisingly tranquil. I feel the clouds on the left are a little boring also. Just not enough colour on them to give them some interest.

With sunrises and sunsets, I've always found it hard balancing out the shadows without destroying the quality of the different colour shades.

I'm thinking that rather than taking the picture towards the setting sun, it might be a better idea to have the sun out of frame or even behind the camera and get the light off any clouds in that direction.

Have you noticed how sunsets never compare well with sunrises for colour?

Just take the photo once the sun is down. That would count as out of frame :p

Depends on the time of year. Both sunrises and sunsets go through phases of bland. Get either on the right day, and it's always stunning.

I also gave one of these a shot.

See, I couldn't do this - I am still thinking "inside the box" and wouldn't even consider using something in the foreground as the focus rather than the actual sunset - which explains why I would starve in the professional photography world.

Thank goodness for government employment.

Thanks matey. It's the first time I've really tried it, there just happened to be a lot of bush around. Stuck my head through and went for it. I'm surprised the framing worked out. My compositional skills are lacking.

Great picture Phil. Nice silhouette.

[alexanderGARDNER]

Phil, that's a stunning shot.
I look at a similar shot every morning I'm standing on the train platform except there is no lake, just suburbia which explains why I never shot it. ;)

Shoot it then. If you get a nice silhouette and some good background blur, the suburbia thing might not be too noticeable. Especially if you get some sort of station feel from the surroundings.

Is this not a good thing? From my way of thinking, and please correct me if I am wrong in this assumption, if someone steals an image from you and posts it in their Flickr account, if you dispute it in court, you can provide your original file with the Exif information intact while they are stuck with an image stripped of the vital information that would prove their alleged ownership.

Which lens was used for number 1?

[alexanderGARDNER]

I'll give it a go when I get home. The speed of the connection here at work is laclustre.
My problem last night was Jailbreaking the phone was fine however the phone became locked and as such I couldn't access my carrier, Telstra.

From memory, a 300 f4L and a 1.4x TC.

Hey boucher. And hey to everyone else too. :p

Dropping the price of my 1ds II to $3700 ONO. Any takers?? Or I'm offering up a brand spanking new in the box 5d II with Canon spare battery and an additional 2 years warranty (3 years in total) for $4000 ONO (good price??). Aussie stock from JB HIFI. One of these bodies needs to go peeps, so how about it??

Surely one of you cropper boys wants to move to full frame?? What a way to do it. ;)

[mickeyjuice]

I used QuickPwn, and it worked great...

+1
Might have to give it a try. I don't want to lose Intelliscreen though. I can't live without it! :p

I used to think that, but then I took it off and I'm surviving :-)

[-spam-]

Dont suppose anyone has a cheapy breville or sunbeam espresso machine at home that doesnt work? After another portafilter that fits them so I can convert my one into a bottomless filter and still have a normal one for when I dont feel like being fancy.

[Welby]

If you still have the 5D in november matt i'll take it :p

[fungry]

What's the reason for sale O_O
How I wish I could snap that 1Ds2 *drooool*

Dear Matt,

thank you for testing my resolve, self-discipline and willpower.

cheers, juice

[DAdeGroot]

Oh to have spare money to spend on this... 'twould complement my 5DII nicely, but what I really need at the moment is long glass.

[alexanderGARDNER]

I must do something I haven't done in 14 years...ask my parents for a loan.

[S7000]

Brenno, you know I would if I had the spare cash... :p

[brenno]

If you still have the 5D in november matt i'll take it :p

I'll hold it for you til then Mark, with a healthy downpayment of course. ;)

I have three bodies Ed, and I don't need three bodies. I picked up the second 5d II with the intention of selling the 1ds II quickly, but it hasn't happened, so whichever one sells first out of the BNIB 5d II or the 1ds II, I'll keep the other.

Don't talk about it Ed - DO IT!!!:D

Dear Matt,

thank you for testing my resolve, self-discipline and willpower.

cheers, juice

Dear Juice,

I have been sent to test you, and you have failed. :p

Buy one of them now, and redeem yourself.

Hahaha. Been there, done that mate. ;)

Brenno, you know I would if I had the spare cash... :p

C'mon Phil, dig deep mate. I have an idea... You go and put 50's in where the 20's go in an ATM, and then I'll come and withdraw ****load's of 20's which are really 50's. :lol:

You know I want to. But no. I'm going to be firm this time.

*checks status of creditcard this month*

[fungry]

How about this Matt. You send the body over and I'll repay you every month. Hahaha.
400 a month. That would take, just under 10 months. Up for it? Hehehe

[AdamC]

Is this not a good thing? From my way of thinking, and please correct me if I am wrong in this assumption, if someone steals an image from you and posts it in their Flickr account, if you dispute it in court, you can provide your original file with the Exif information intact while they are stuck with an image stripped of the vital information that would prove their alleged ownership.

Stripping EXIF is never a good thing. And no, it wouldn't help you if your images were stolen either, any more than them having images with intact EXIF showing you as the owner.

And while we're in a solar tax mode... Here's yesterday's sunrise on Oxley Creek Commons.

Lovely Dave.

Paul Buff spits the dummy

Who's Paul Buff?

[The Moose]

I really need the software and a Firewire cable for my 1D... I just looked a photo and apparently Luis Ferreiro owns the camera :p I know the person I bought it off was not Luis Ferreiro and it came with US plugs so that's definitely the original owner.

[tangcla]

I wouldn't make a good crim unfortunately.

Go back over your shots taken with Alan's 5d II. They are 100% better than the your other shots. ;)

*This statement is not really true, but it's a good way of trying to convince Clarry to buy my 5d II *

Hmmm... It's worth a thought Ed, and if I didn't need the full amount up front, I'd seriously consider it. Unfortunately, I really need the full 3k odd for other investments (read: house).

[The Moose]

I got the firewire cable if you want to come round to mine to do it...

Thanks for the offer but I don't think it's worth the hassle, with me not having my P's and being at school and all that. My mum was going to buy one on the weekend for me but she wasn't sure if any of our computers actually have a port so she said nah, we'll buy it later.

[mickeyjuice]

[brenno]

FYI all - Pixel Perfect have 35% off ready to hang Canvas prints for the month of May.

[The Moose]

I'm from Werribee. I don't think anyone else here is from around where I am.

Matt, is there a specific link to finding this offer? Can't seem to find it.

Aww, I come back and no more happy photos :(

I'm in Geelong Glenn, well 10 mins from Avalon actually, so you're welcome to make a trip up the highway and use my cord and computer.

The link is in their latest newsletter, so I don't know if you have to be a member to obtain the offer. I'm sure if you joined, or just mentioned the offer they'd honour it. Copied from the email I got:

No prob's.

I'm from Werribee. I don't think anyone else here is from around where I am.

Matt's over your way, in Geelong, plus he has a 1Ds Mark II :P

[kja]

Wow, wow, wow...I'm just going through the video from today's whale shark trip and we had amazing whale sharks today...water so blue, sharks so slow, mouths open...awesome.

Of course, I was in the office...

Beat ya - PWNED!!! :p

So Clarry, you wanna talk trade options for my 5d II and your 5d + cash?? ;)

[The Moose]

I wonder if Matt would notice if his 1Ds2 turned into a 1D classic.. wait what? CRAP! I didn't mean to say that :p

Thanks for the offer Matt and the previous offer from Clarence. If I get really desperate and don't have a Firewire cable or the software any time soon, I'll mention it. And thanks for the copy of the email, they've got the price list there so I think if I signed up now, I'd be able to get it. Not sure if I'll take advantage of the deal though, I did just buy a 1D classic with the money that I was meant to be saving to buy a car at the end of the year!

[tangcla]

So Clarry, you wanna talk trade options for my 5d II and your 5d + cash?? ;)

Depends... what you got in mind? :p

You know, if you actually used MSN or Skype like normal people... this would be so much easier...

[S7000]

No, I think you should air it all our here... :p

[ofdphoto]

Didn't I already buy a 1Ds2 from you brenno?

What's happened in the meantime?

That depends on what you define as normal.

Give me a fair price on your 5d, and take that off my 5d II price, thus leaving what you would owe me in cash. :p

No, I think you should air it all our here... :p

:D:D

Didn't I already buy a 1Ds2 from you brenno?

You did indeed Luke. I trust it is serving you well.

Ok, hang onto your pants here - sold you my 1ds II and sold Clarence my 5d, then I bought a 1ds III and a 1ds II, sold the 1ds III and bought two 5d II's and kept the 1ds II, now selling either a BNIB 5d II or the 1ds II.

Whoah, what's happening here - I'M TURNING INTO ANGUS!!! ARGHHHHHH... :p

How long did all of that take you and WHY?! :p

Kristin, I'm not sure if you're online still but did you work something out with your Fastpack 250 to fit two bodies? Right now, this is my setup for the gear bit:
____________________
400D|70-200 |430ex II
......|mounted |24/2.8 sitting with
____|on |50/1.8 on top of it
1d classic

Hopefully that worked out well enough...

[fungry]

Awww pity Matt. Hope you get a sale soon :) Talk about redundancy! I don't think you are like Angus. Actually, you are worse!!

[mickeyjuice]

Mic, Mic, Mic...

You earn it to spend it mate.

I'll even hand deliver to you - and if you like, I can borrow one of Collin's mankini's to wear at the changeover. :p

Yeah, that's gonna seal the deal :-)

I really need to spend the money on a house. My wife thinks that's a higher priority, and I tend to agree :-)

Well, and a 16-35. Anyone selling a 16-35?

[brenno]

How long did all of that take you and WHY?! :p

I think around 6 - 8 months or so??

I do love to have the latest and greatest gadgets, I'm the first to admit it, and I'm not the only one who does. I think most here would faint at the sight of my previously owned gear, no sh1t. :o

Wifey and I have been doing a bit to our house in preparations for moving into a bigger and better place and hopefully renting this place out. We are almost there.

[brenno]

I don't think you are like Angus. Actually, you are worse!!

I love to have the newest things too but as a 17 year old working casual shifts, it's impossible :lol: That's pretty cool. If you don't mind me asking, how old be you?

[Backflipboy]

Is it too late to put a smile on Kristins face? Some quick snaps I took around 7:30am today when the Cockatoos decided to flock and feast on my neighbours garden. A cery good reason why I don't have plants.
