Chriso's photo's, 4x4 and other stuff.

[Chris79]

Hey all,

Been a frustrated point and shooter for a long time, always hoping to make the jump to a DSLR.
Well I finally have, so just wanted to show you guy's some of my favourite picks over the years and any new ones as I go forward on my new journey.

What better way to start than with the mighty Patrol and other picks i've taken from various off-road trips.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,

This was one I took at my brothers wedding a few weeks ago. Unfortunately was a wet day, but got this shot.

[megatexture]

Nice photos mate and they look like some great tracks!

[Family4x4]

They are awesome action shots! How do you get the hills to look steep?

[Chris79]

Thanks guys,

I think the trick with getting a off-road shot in perspective is to avoid looking directly up or down the hill.
Try to stand a little to the side and at a level where the car will be in frame while the camera is level both side to side and up/down. That way things like trees, other cars, people etc in the background will assist to give the correct perception of the terrain.

Cheers

[clubbyr8]

Awesome shots mate, what camera and lenses did you get?

[Chris79]

Cheers mate,

After a lot of research I ended up with a Nikon D5200 which I then upgraded to a 18-105, F3.5-5.6 lense.
Been very happy with the combo so far.

Still have a lot to learn but here are a couple of my project shots so far.

Good work Chris, love your 4B shots mate !

[Chris79]

Thanks mate, I have used a lot of advice out of your thread on my new hobby so far.

Very close to attempting my first light painted car :smiley_thumbs_up: I enjoyed trying to paint the bridges above.
What do you use for light source? Do you bother with a soft box?

Cheers

[Chris79]

Took these shots of my new daily while on a trip up the county.

Also gave light painting a go on the interior, not overly happy with the result. Got a few hot spots around lol.

Great work Chris, love your shots mate

[Chris79]

Thanks mate,

I'm in Munich at the moment and was lucky enough to get a sneak peak at some of the new BM's coming out.
Unfortunately I was a bit rushed so didnt get the chance to take some nice shots of these.

And took a trip out to Dachau, a dark place in German history.
Was a very somber experience, thinking of all the horrible things that happend there.

Sorry Chris I missed this ^ post somehow.





Those beamer pics are bloody great Chris.

I quite like your light painted one actually, I normally just use a LED worklight , its nothing special, I don't really like it, it just what I already had, ive never been bothered to buy a light just for my night photography.

I do own softboxes , but ive never used them for light painting, one day when I get serious (and get a decent camera) ill start playing around with some more stuff ?

[Chris79]

This was a crazy church I visited while in europe. The detail was out of this world.
