Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread

Went to the ANZAC day march. It was a very emotional affair and I captured a few shots of both the happy and sad bits.

Couple of shots here

I too went to a parade for ANZAC day. Things got a little hairy camera wise, its tough using a different camera after spending 3 months using nothing but a canon.

My shots can be found here

Also, here is one that i played with just before, it didnt really belong in the people section with the rest of them.

thanks steve. haha , me to!! no idea, but the texture reminded me of fine tissue paper. I don't think i have seen it before.

There were some lighter hearted moments at the ANZAC parade. This band major was suddenly distracted by someone in the band (hitting a wrong note perhaps).

I thought of titles for this image ranging from "I sense a great disturbance in The Force Luke," to the ubiquitous, "Who Farted?". Perhaps you can think of a better one...

welcome Al! Don't believe them for a minute!! Certainly not me!! Blame greg and paul!! (especially greg!):p
I had an s2, and i loved it. It just so happened that the 400d came out, my mum gave me some money, and the rest is history. The trick is to learn your camera, and use it to it's best ability. A bigger trick is to get your mum to give you some money!!(make that a lot of money!)

paul, i am going to use the plamp for holding a smaller diffuser, so if i am photographing close up of flowers, or even insects etc, i can shoot in sun, but diffuse the light. I aso read you could use the arm to move/hold out of the way distractiing plant bits near what one wants to shoot. Seemed like a good idea to me.
I have downloaded pro-show, and only opened it yesterday. Without reading too much instruction, it was very easy to work out how to select the picces, time frame, which way to merge to the next, but i ran out of time, and came slightly unstuck for the music. I have to sit down again and have a look without rushing. So far it has been a breeze to use.

great shots people

i won't be going to oz zoo, i really really need to save my pennies for canada

I believe that my name has been besmirched! What have I ever done wrong!

No-one will talk you into anything you weren't subconsciously already thinking of

Hey yeah....don't blame me either! I'm having a mid-life crisis and felt camera gear is more useful than a sports car and body piercing.

Hahaha... Look what I've started hehehe...

But yes... I'd have to agree with you on camera gear being more useful...

Are you 18 and have a large collection of cameras already ? hmmmm

I am very late starter then lol

I'm actually telling a bit of a fib in my signature. The Olympus is Mum's (I actually prefer NOT to use it - it's that lame) and the A75 is Dad's. When I say "at my disposal" I really mean if I need either they'll be glad to lend it to me (seeing my digital camera died ages ago).

I should add the Yashica rangefinder I picked up at a BCG meeting earlier in the month. I turn 19 on Sunday so I'll kill two birds with one stone then

Well i went to the currumbin dawn service. the sevice was good. the sunrise was SPECTACULAR, i might go down and shoot the sunrise this weekend actually. Powderfinger was awesome but it spoiled by having the sunrise program there as we were constantly waiting for the tv programing.

Ok I put another name into my subconscious, to ignore their subliminal buying messages ... PAUL ...

HHHEHHEHEH

Cool Shay, did you see the thing the other day about the formation of Powerchair. Combination of Powerfinger and Silverchair.

Nice shots, everyone! Seems to have been great turnouts all over Oz this year. Good to see!

Welcome Al!

Good to see the one liner's return to your sig, Paul

Thanks Nick. That little piece of philosophy is out of my own tiny brain.
