Brisbane POTN Coffee Club Rev. 4

Nice work Greg, Nigel and Rob.

I spent most of the day feeling quite bad, terminating in going to get during dinner and just getting up about 1/2 hr ago. Still not 100%, but better than yesterday (so far).

I take it you fired a flash into the background to light it ? You might have been better putting a little more distance between the subject and the background as you've managed to get red spill on the subjects (unless that was intentional that is).

nice piccies everyone

Dave (de G)... hope you're feeling better soon mate.

I didn't look, I blew out some of the tennis shots early on.

Looks ok here, I'd adjust the flash down a little next time to balance the natural/flash light

I underexposed the background on purpose, but I think you are right - still too much flash. I'm still getting used to balancing the exposure compensations.

Yep, fired a flash into the background because it was very dark red and I only had 4 ft between subject and wall - what looks like spill was intentional with a red gel thru an umbrella camera right. It looked ok when I shot it but next time I'll dial it down a bit.

It was a very cramped untidy room with no clear space to work with but, I'm reasonably happy especially for a first attempt.

Hi Dave, where does the BCG meet?

I've noticed you have my name on the beginning of this thread. I'm up for any meets you might have.
I've meet Greg_C and Willstar which boosted my interest back here on POTN. I've kinda got hooked on another forum but might have to expand my interests further and get out and about more. You might even convert me but will have to be good.
Hope you meet some of you soon.

Hi Dave, where does the BCG meet?

Albion Peace Centre
102 McDonald Rd, Albion

It's right under the Albion Overpass and about 200 metres away from Albion train station.

I really need to have a nice long talk to Murray about that web page...
