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

[Backflipboy]

Here's another just for the hell of it.

I'll post some of the sports photos by the end of the week - should have everything done by then and know which are worthy of showing off here.

[The Moose]

Just thanks the banks you can't get a credit card... :p

OMG if I had a credit card, I'd be paying it off as if it's my mortgage. I wouldn't have gone all out though. I'd skip the 400/2.8 and settle for a 1D3 + 5D2 combo with many lenses ranging from, oh I don't know, 16-600? :lol:

[brenno]

Angus moved to Geelong?! :lol:

Heh... I think I'm worse actually. :p

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?

I be 34. And I bought my first camera about 4 years ago.

It's not really that cool mate. It's nice to be able to do it, of course you have to sacrifice things to be able to do it though. So yeah, it's nice, but I wouldn't say it's cool.

Yeah, that's true. It's always good to build your own house or do it up how you want. My parents have always had a dream of extending our house (it would be great) but I don't think they'll do it anymore. My older sister's already moved out and as good as a larger lounge room as well as a proper study or rumpus room sounds, it's just not worth it.

Ps. Don't worry, they usually give you a pretty low limit to start with. :p

You just ruined my day :( Haha. I'd love to not have a credit card even when I'm able to get one. Not only to stop me from buying new gear, but just to try and keep me in a good position rather than trying to pay off things while living at the same time. Although I can't really comment on anything like that, I'm not even at uni yet!

[mickeyjuice]

See my previous post mate, I know what you mean. ;)

Yeah...we're buying, and it's not easy inner-city Melbourne at the moment :-)

Damn it would be nice but I can't do it Matt. I said I would get one near Christmas and that's what I've planned for. I had dinner with a mate tonight and planned the finances on the train home and I can't make it stretch and afford what I've planned for the next 6 months.

Damned Ds II and the D3 Nikon are the 2 bodies that I'm really hankering for and it's all to be decided at the end of the year then you come in with this deal! ;)

Now...I must back away from the bank account.

I really like the third one - the flatness of the land contrasts brilliantly with the clouds.

[fungry]

Wow Andrew. The clouds in the third one are spectacular.

[ofdphoto]

And I thought my gear list / changes were embarrassing :D

I'd love to pick up another 1Ds2, but my current lineup is good enough for now ;) sorry dude, hope you can find a buyer. Then again, you *were* silly enough to buy all this stuff you're now struggling to sell :p

In other buy/sell news, I have a Ray Flash to sell.

It works on 580EX II's and 20/30/40/50/5D's. Model RAC170-2. I'll take 20% less than the best legit retail price you can point me to, shipped. It's LNIB.

@Jim (if you're reading this): sadly the 1D3 doesn't play so nice with it :(

Havent heard but I doubt its that far down. LP Bay is right next to the channel thru to Lake Eyre South. Halligan Bay on the South West side had 25mm of water about 200m offshore.

My only tip for skin smoothing is: use Lightroom. It has a skin smoothing tool that's bloody awesome.

Oh, and your images look a little cool on the colour temp, too.

[coalcliff]

Nice shots Andrew!

Mat, wish I could help you out!

Luke, how much for pick up?? Right price I will be there in a (ray)flash!

Ewan. the white balance looks off in the after shot, and its best to get her hair right prior to shooting so you don't have to remove the strays in post giving her right cheekbone area a funny look. Clone out the blemishes, then smooth, a few tips for you.

It's actually done by fading relatively few shots into each other. You can tell because boats don't move much, lights don't change much. Effective tho.

@tangcla: which 1D? I own 3 now. I tried it with the 1D3 and it's not a good fit.

[S7000]

Just saw this on the Canon Rumour site.

New Stuffs
This is some information from a couple of decent known sources about the upcoming 50D replacement. We should expect an announcement in the fall. Canon appears to be holding form on the new 1 year product cycle for the xxD line.

The Goodies

* The 60D will remain at 15.1mp. There will be an upgrade of the current sensor.
* There will be 1080p video at 30fps. Probably no manual control. What I got from this is the 5D2 will get a firmware functionality upgrade and the 60D will basically have what the 5D2 has now.
* We will see a newer AF system introduced.
* The camera will shoot 8fps.
* There will be a external mic jack.
* The camera will be DIGIC V

That’s all I have for now.

I would look very seriously at an upgrade to the 60D with 8fps, and an updated AF system. The video isn't a want for me though...

[tangcla]

Nah, I think the rumour sounds too good to be true. It's basically making a hybrid xxD with 5D and 1D features... they're targeting the wrong end of the market that way.

With those features, most people would happily forget fullframe 5D2 and get the 60D instead. I mean, fullframe's overrated...

I agree. Maybe they're trying to bring the xxD into what could be a 3d type line...

[tangcla]

I agree. Maybe they're trying to bring the xxD into what could be a 3d type line...Doubt it - cos then they'd be shooting themselves in the leg with sales of their 1D Mark IV and 5D Mark III.

Not sure. I'm going for the 32bit because I'm not sure the 64bit version will work in a virtual environment...

I did have it downloading and it was cruising along at 1.8MB/second. So when I get it working again I should have it in 25 min or so.

From the small amount that apple has actually told us and even the rumors and speculation, nothing really seems to be changing from 10.5

Dont see why its being hyped up so much when there is nothing revolutionary or ground breaking.

Alright, I need help. Trying to upgrade to the RC build and it's saying to get rid of Nero - Burning ROM before continuing. I didn't even have it installed! I looked in the registry editor and there was a couple of things in there for Nero but no Burning ROM. Uninstalled whatever Nero I had because I don't use it but it hasn't changed anything. I've shut down and restarted a few times too. Anyone? :(

Edit: found something on the Nero site that gets rid of everything. Here we go again...

After the disasters I had in upgrading from Windows 95 to 98, I decided never to upgrade again. Clean install works best.

If I had more time and it wasn't midweek, I probably would have gone for a clean install. I could do that later though, open the RC build ISO file again and clean install, couldn't i?

[brenno]

Haven't even thought about the price yet.

Well, let me know the price and spec's when you decide. Perhaps we can arrange a trade deal for my 1ds II or 5d II plus cash from you. :p

hey boucher.

Both are very nice, but the second is just OMG WOW. Well done mate.

Mmmmm tasty, she is smokin' Collin.

I hereby declare that pic to be the POTNAC equivalent of being rick-roll'ed. Only difference - your eyesight deteriorates for real with this version.

It's a unibody MBP, 15.4" gloss screen, 2GB RAM, 2.4Ghz DC, 250GB HDD, running that crappy OSX OS, also has VMWare fusion running, 3xMagsafe power adaptors, 2x Mini-DP to VGA adaptor, 1 x Mini-DP to DVI adaptor, 3 year Applecare, a variety of utility progs to make OSX run like a decent OS installed.

Paid $3900 for it in November. Any have a clue what it's worth?

I'll give you $390. You bought it last year and it's not like a lens where it holds its value. It's worth nothing to be honest. I'll come pick it up tomorrow ;) Would be awesome.

My mistake.

Anyone SENSIBLE have a clue what it's worth?

:-)

It's been very well looked after, despite my fits of rage with it :-)

[S7000]

Hey Brenno, speaking of $999. I'd take the 1DII for $999.00 :p

Colin. Weak. :lol:

$3500 maybe? MBPs tend to hold their value reasonably well and with the extras yours has...

Could be way off the money though.

Looks like a straight swap, Brenno :-)

Mic, not only will I personally give you a worn mankini (complete with diarrhea stains), but I will also negotiate with your enemy, the Mujahadeen to cease the jihad against your Juice-kind.

Oh, and I'll even include $200 on top of that.

[Collin85]

TBH, Col, much as I appreciate your extraordinary offer, (especially the one regarding the apparent fatwah, as I can't sleep at night worrying), it's probably not quite what I was chasing.

[brenno]

Hey Brenno, speaking of $999. I'd take the 1DII for $999.00 :p

I don't own a 1d II my friend. If I did, I'd sell it to you for $999. ;)

Looks like a straight swap, Brenno :-)

Bugger that, I need cash. :p

Look's like it will be out of my range Mic, good luck with the sale though.

Now, when are you selling that Rolling Computrekker mate?? ;)

[S7000]

I could do with the cash as well, but this way neither of us have to SPEND any more cash. Win/Win :-)

Not parting with that bag, mate, you know you can never have too many bags :-)

[Collin85]

TBH, Col

yes

much as I appreciate your extraordinary offer


thanks

Yeah, I had a feeling people were starting to forget. Being totally slack.. here I'am again. :lol:

I don't think you'll have a problem with people forgetting Collin. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/sick/sick0006.gif

Windows 7 didn't work. I think it got up to the transferring files bit and it said nope, restart and try again. Can't be bothered trying again tonight so I'm going to go with what all of you were saying and CLEAN INSTALL on the weekend :p
