Hi mate! Amazing photo!

WOW, that looks like a great place to live.....LMAO.

Steve you should be in advertising.

[04OFF]

Ha-ha, yeh maybe you should live there Rodney :harhar:

Ive paddled a inflateable boat all the way around your lake, seems like a nice place, wouldn't want to go for a swim in that water tho

[lhurley]

hey mate,

Great photos, i just sat here for the last hour and a half looking at your pics/skills in absolute awe. They are stunning.

I actually have a massive RC car, its more like a scaled real car as opposed to the racers in your pics.
My RC car has the best of both worlds, rock crawling capability and astonishing speed to get those nice action shots. AND it wasn't $1300.

Cheers

[healy]

Nice pics mate

mate the 1st and 3rd of that lot looks unreal! i bet you could make the dump look awsome! keep em coming cant wait to see next lot

[taslucas]

Yep those two were my favourite of your neurum creek shots. Like I said in that thread, I love the lighting of the tree in the first one. Red, green and yellow leafs

Tap, crackle, pop

[04OFF]

Thanks mate, the pics easy get lost in the other thread, these are my favs too, amazing i got any good shots after the amount of drinks id had at the time (ha-ha) :drunk:




Night photography is my favorite thing to do, i had planned play around and to take some shots with sparks and stuff, but i forgot to take what i needed, at least i rememberd the tent (lol) ;)

[04OFF]

BTW, thats ben-e-boys ute under the tree if anyone was wondering.

Benny is actually sitting in the car, and did a great job of carrying out my instructions (operating all the car lights for different time periods) as i shouted them out, so we actually got that pic on the first go.

[T0nka]

Ohh cmonnnn!!

[Chris-W]

Very cool shots mate!

[04OFF]

Been months since. ive had the camera out, up at Noosaville at the moment, went out for some sunset pics, very relaxing .......

Only just seen this thread, you have some good stuff on here mate.

Do you not find that you get diffraction at F18 and 22 on your sunset shots?

[04OFF]

Cheers mate






Do you not find that you get diffraction at F18 and 22 on your sunset shots?


I don't find it always a particular problem for me mate, well, no more than the barrel distortion, lense flare and vignetting , still love shooting with the wide angle anyway ! :p

[fracster]

Yeah, know the problem.I don`t do much landscape stuff to be honest, widest I have is 28 on full frame.

The second of your sunsets above is superb pal, really like that one.

[growler2058]

Brilliant!!

Thanks guys !

I still only have a Canon crop sensor at the moment fracster, i had planned to go full frame last year, but rolling the car set me back a bit :frown:

Plus for the move to full frame i need to replace some lenses, so it will just have to wait (hope this year i can move up), then i will also switch to hosting pics on Flicker so they should look a bit cleaner as well.

Great shots, thanks.
The second one gives a great indication of why, with predicted rising sea levels, it will not be a a good place to live in the future!

[megatexture]

That won't bother them cuppa they love canal living on the goldcoast lol

[Cuppa]

Carnal living - maybe I should move up there ................ oh canal living, guess I'll stay here at 600m above sea level then. LOL :)

Really good shot there fella,I like the idea of the reflected sunshine on the water there mate.

I think there is just a bit too much sky though, maybe crop it down to just under the big cloud top right, just an idea.

[Yendor]

??????? I pay my carbon tax, the powers that be told me if I did so, there would be no global warming, hence no rise in the sea level.

I think you need to get down to sea level like the rest of us. :D

Great shots, thanks.

Thanks mate, yeh the Goldy is too crowded for my liking these days, still a great place, but personally id rather go to the Sunshine Coast these days :D


Really good shot there fella,I like the idea of the reflected sunshine on the water there mate.

I think there is just a bit too much sky though, maybe crop it down to just under the big cloud top right, just an idea.


I actually like it like that Fracster, its exactly why i bought that lens in the first place, the main thing for me is there is cloud at the top of the shot , normally id have gone for more "colour" in the clouds, but I was on a moving boat at the time, they had $10 all you could drink, so i was quite smashed when i took that one :trink13:

Feel free copy and cut the image yourself and play around with it to how you like it (then please post image here), i think i know where you are coming from and be interested to see, but i also have a feeling, you may find in doing what you suggest, will not only change the original aspect ratio (or lose the reflection on the water) + goes against the rule of thirds, and may not actually look that pleasing to the eye ?

[fracster]

but I was on a moving boat at the time, they had $10 all you could drink, so i was quite smashed when i took that one :trink13:



Bloody amazing shot then mate................:clapping:

You could well be right about the aspect and composition on second thoughts.I`ll have a play with it later, if it looks ok i`ll post it and see what you think.

[04OFF]

Thanks fracster, yeh im always interesting to see stuff different ways through talented eyes !




These are from the Glass house mountans forum trip, taken while waiting at the meet up spot (the lookout) and was the only time conditions were dry and mud free , so are all i got before it rained :frown:

I painted my GU twice, what more do you want ..... (ha-hahah !)


As for Bigrigs wedgie, would i need a wide angle lens for that shot ? :eck05: Ha-ha !



Fractser would be the best person to start a wildlife pic thread, bit hard to shoot "aussie" wildlife from the UK tho (need a biiiiiiiig zoom lens for that) he-he

[GUtsy ute]

As for Bigrigs wedgie, would i need a wide angle lens for that shot ? :eck05: Ha-ha !

No, just a cracked one will do!


Great pics too, Steve.

Why has that Kangaroo got its ear chewed, do they do that to each other?

Love the pics of the RC cars mate.

[04OFF]

Why has that Kangaroo got its ear chewed ?

........maybe its married ? (ha-ha)

I don't know mate, it was a wild roo, so perhaps been in few fights.




Love the pics of the RC cars mate.

Thanks mate, my son races the one with a number 5 on it, heaps of fun, we have a DVD coming out soon showcasing the RC nationls as well, keeps me very busy.

There is a joke there somewhere about QLD sunshine and you living with grey sky in the UK, (sorry i used to live in Coventry,West Midlands, could't help myself, lol)

Yes ,a CPL is used, but no Photoshop, i use a wide angle lens (low ISO), a Circular Polariser, plus i add Saturation and a bit of contrast in the camera shoot settings, the water actually looks like Pepsi Max (yes black), this adds even extra depth to the blue reflection from the sky.

Plus it is really Blue ;)

[04OFF]

I realy like the second one how do I do that?

You need a tripod and set camera to a long exposure, then use a torch to light the car, then run over and flick the head lights on etc, a bit of compositon and a nice background helps, of course the full moon aids with lighting.

That looks so much better with that front bar and wheel/tyre combo, certainly gives it a much more menacing stance. Are you on holidays Steve? Seeming as im still outta work was gonna try and get to see this thing in the flesh and maybe ask you a few questions ;)

Yeh on holls Matty, over on straddie for a week, yes agree, the car does look much better, it does seem to turn a few heads now.

Thanks Timmo, to be honest, there was a better shot to be had in this location, but i soon left after taking about 2 pics, only because i slipped over on that green algae you see on the rocks ,i fell awkward as i had camera gear in both hands, and smashed my knee and left hand in the fall.

After this, i lost all interest in favour of drinking beer, but id saved all the gear from any damage so its all good :p

forgot camera, how could you!


I know, i know, like ive said before, i rarely head out anywhere to "just" take pics, more often i see something while im out, and decide to shoot.

This day was honestly the best sky ive ever seen since owning a camera, even i was in ore, it had dark and light blues, white, yellow and pink colour clouds, sunshine rays, plus grey clouds with falling rain and even had a rainbow !

I was spewin i forgot the camera all the way home (lol)

Thanks mate^

I forgot to add, that apart from small cropping on 1,2&3, these are all 100% as they came from the camera, not adjusted in any way (just resized for upload)

I am only writing this, as the rock on the RH side in the last pic looks a bit "added", even to me (and I took the pic), its the way it was lit front and rear with different types of lights that give it that black outline effect, all done in real time during shooting.

[gaddy]

They look fantastic

Some cracking shots here mate, may I be so bold as to suggest that the osprey needs the exposure lifting a bit?

[04OFF]

Of course you can mate, you are always welcome to comment (good or bad), plus you are the "bird master" after all :thumbup:


From memory, It is actually a pretty good representation of the lighting that day, if you look close, you may notice there is no shadow on the bird, or sunlight glistening of any part of the water, I just cropped/resized it ,and whacked it on the net.

That pic was taken hand held, with a slow zoom lens (on full zoom), and on a overcast part of the day, I was passing in the car when I spotted the Sea Eagle near the beach, and they don't hang around long, so im happy to of got that shot to be honest.

Coming from the UK, Im sure you shoot in overcast conditions all the time (and get great shots), normally I don't even get the camera out of the bag when its cloudy, I think i just don't have your patience for animals im afraid, in fact I don't think I like shooting them much at all now I come to think of it, mmm, perhaps if I used a gun to shoot instead of a camera ???? :tongue:


Im joking , I love animals .................................................. ........................on the BBQ , ha-ha

Nah mate, that was shot using my usual Canon DSLR, it was in a water proof bag, one that turned out to be not so water proof, testament to Canons gear being weather proof !

Good to hear, if there is any new ideas or shots she wants to re-do for her portfolio just let me know, I honestly learned a fair bit that day.:)


Happy to shoot Taylor as well when she is ready, she also has a great personality that will come out on film (well data anyway, lol)




Maybe you should ask Sharee if I should post a couple of her pics here ? (totally understand if that's not what she wants yet)

Here is a few from my day out with Sharee , having not really done any people shoots at all, it was quite a learning curve for me, very different to what im used to, and well out of my comfort zone, still enjoyed the challenge tho.


Had at least one thing in my favour, as its pretty hard to make someone so lovely look "bad" :)

Thanks mate, I didn't really know what I was doing to be honest, next time I might try and do things a little different, but im only guessing as to what works, I now know, wide brim hats and white pants, are NOT a photographers friend (lol) :wink:

Hope to get to work with Sharee and Taylor again some time as it was great fun !

[04OFF]

A couple from Bribie Island last night, I wanted to capture a photo with the last standing WW2 gun placement, as it wont be long before this one is destroyed by the sea, a real shame these are just allowed to collapse IMO.

Haha, Yeh the trick is to go slow through the mud (or avoid it altogether ), I was also taking it easy as I was all alone, know one knew where I was, and it was late sunday arvo, and as well as that, last week I hit a slider so hard (on rock) it bent the guard so still licking the wounds so to speak (lol)

Yes correct, although as well as the guard damage last weekend, I also busted a front sway bar link pin in half, so some flex would be gained by the fact the sway bar is not working, ive never had even half that flex at the front before.

[(AUST)Mod]

Great panel work fixing that dent.

[megatexture]

Not good on the damage Steve! I would have thought those sliders would be strong enough. I've got the same ones.

[04OFF]

Yeh they are strong Troy, it was 100% user error, a long story, but i had 50 psi in the tyres, attempted to climb over some nasty rocks, needed to much speed (due to not letting tyres down) and then mis judged the whole approach (on my 3rd attempt), and landed hard on rock with the very outer edge of the sliders (lots or leverage), wheels in the air, then sliding sideways down the same rock, all in the same action.


When my son showed me the powder coat left on the rock, at first i did not believe i could have got that high, but i did, and without the sliders id have badly ripped the gaurd, sill and drivers door.



looking at what i did, and fact that my car weighs 3 ton, i think the sliders did pretty well.

what are you doing with 50 psi in your tyres? I hope that a typo. 40 and the km2s will sit flat on the road

When i saw the pics my first thought was, if thats with sliders imagine how bad it would of been without them. Should try do a rear side rail now that your bar is done? would some what stop this from happening again

Mine like 45 - 50 psi on the black top, don't forget im running 305s and my car is almost 3000kg as its normally driven around day to day.

Pretty sure the rear side rails are only possible on GQs as the rear door flare gets in the way on GUs ? , I doubt a rear side rail would have helped much in this case anyway Lachlan, the front slider mount is the weak point as it does not clasp the chassis rail like the centre and rear mount/s do, but is bolted to a thinner part of the chassis, this along with the fact that the GU guard hangs much lower than the rest of the sill didn't help.

Pretty sure the rear side rails are only possible on GQs as the rear door flare gets in the way on GUs ? , I doubt a rear side rail would have helped much in this case anyway Lachlan, the front slider mount is the weak point as it does not clasp the chassis rail like the centre and rear mount/s do, but is bolted to a thinner part of the chassis, this along with the fact that the GU guard hangs much lower than the rest of the sill didn't help.

Sorry dumb moment. For some reason I thought that you damaged the rear, not sure why but that's what my comment was relating too.

As for the front, my sliders never really moved in the front, i believe that yours was a hard hit. Not sure why that could be different?

My patrol is nearly 3000kg daily, well was last time I was at the dump weight bridge, and 40 psi is good for me. How is your tyre wear? That will be the true test. I've got 15k on my km2s (identical to yours) and they seems to be very flat. 40 is also what the tyre shop told me, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

[fracster]

I really admire some of the thought and imagination you put into your shots bud.

[threedogs]

nah white writing out same as white sunnies soooooooooo 70s
If they pay me to run their tyres I will put the white writing on the
outside until then it stays tucked inside for no one to see.
Black sunnies if need be and black writing, agree 100% about muscle car

40 PSI max IMO regardless of the brand the ride is firm but thats my choice for HWY pressures.
around town so I have a bit of comfort I'll drop to 35 PSI

[04OFF]

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment, even more coming from someone with your skills :049:

Yeh was a hard hit , but its where and how it hit that caused the damage, its my first damage to the white bits, my aim was to go 12months before needing body paint so its all good, the black bits are more sacrificial, thats why i left the flares black etc.

Ive done over 20k on my KMs and tread wear is good, (just checked depth across all 4 with a screwdriver) i do rotate them every 5-10k including spare.

[04OFF]

Agree about white writing, i always had opted against it with a passion, and i had lots of 70s cars but never had white writing by choice...

I think white writing really suits the troll tho ,especially that its all black and white and the wheels are black etc

Kids and a house got in the way Steve, id love to have been able to keep it, it was a sweet ride, under the car was as nice as the top , black metallic smoothed out floor pan, heaps of chrome and custom stuff (coilover shocks etc) ive still got a heap of trophys it won in its day, it would be worth a pretty penny these days id imagine.

Thanks bud, yeh look I doubt there is any angle of the Maheno that has not been photographed before, I don't think ive ever seen a pic like the middle one (ocean side looking forward from the stern), but every time I see it there is a bit less of it, the really amazing thing is, there is still some timber decking in places on the old girl.

(Ill see if ive got a pic of it)

Yeh man no probs, "all" the lighting you see is intentional, its very dark down on the beach at night, the rocks needed some form of lighting, so I used a green LED glow stick and you can just see the hint of a blue one, also i used a LED work light, and a low watt conventional yellow bulb torch, sparklers to add some subtle yellow glow, and bright white LED strip lights, as well as the obvious car lights and of course the moon, so yeh everything is 100% intentional and created real time.

As above, its a bit of effort to get something special, but its by far my favourite type of photography.

The work light under the car held up on the transfer case by zip ties could be a good effect lighting the ground under and around the car? Unless you have tried that one ?

Thanks bud, if I would have had a bit more time I might have got something better, but the tide was coming in, and this beach is not one to be underestimated, especially at night.

I have tried lights under the car when I had LED rock lights, im not sure if a single light under the car would give a good spread for effect, and may just give a hot spot under the car with a obvious light source ?

Anyway, easiest way is just to try it dude, because I don't really know, and there is no rules, and no right or wrong, just playing around with different things is the best way to learnt.

That is one amazing photo. Sue me if you will, but that is now my wallpaper! You sir are camera gifted.

You can mate, just turn the dial from "P" to A or S or M. Look at this guys superb shots and try to replicate them, then start using your own ideas.If your struggling,ask for advice in the help thread. I`m sure 04OFF won`t mind.

I think it might be a verry long exposure as the stars look like they are starting to leave a trail.

What made all the sparks like that Steve?

[04OFF]

Thanks guys.

Pic 4 is basically a 47 second exposure of burning steel wool on the end of a string (swung around in a circle), makes for a interesting effect, and great for starting unwanted fires if your not careful :)

How are you taking those night time photos?
They are so clear.

[04OFF]

How are you taking those night time photos?
They are so clear.


No tricks to it really, just use a slow shutter speed and a low F stop number and if you need to a higher ISO, all to get the required light to generate that sort of night image, of course you need to use a tripod as well, the hardest part is framing and focusing the shot when you cant see properly (a torch can help you don't have ambient light as I did) , its good if there is very little wind when shooting trees or you may get a blurred shot (sometimes blur looks really good anyway)


The first night shot (above) was taken at f/3.5, 3.2sec exposure ,ISO 640, no flash etc, the higher ISO lets me use a faster shutter and so reduce blur, if I wanted blur, I would run a lower ISO with a longer shutter speed giving the camera sensor time to capture "movement", whilst still retaining the same overall light for the pic.

The second shot was f/3.5, 1.3sec, ISO 320 , this one had much more light available, so a shorter time was needed, it also had nothing that moved in the wind (trees etc), so I could also reduce the ISO.


Hope that helps ?

I can try for you mate, ive no idea when the circumstances (location, weather, time, etc) will be right to take such a shot im afraid ?

[04OFF]

Well folks, tas been a long time between drinks, long story short, a relationship break up and related legal mumbo jumbo (and costs), and ive pretty much not gone anywhere or done anything , or taken a single pic since feb :(


So just recently I had a great opportunity to go to China, so I jumped at it, of course I packed the camera, unfortunately for me, the area and period I stayed, encountered the worst recorded weather (for that time of year) than they had seen in the last 50 years, it should have ben blue sky, instead it was overcast and raining, so really bad for taking any pics at all.


Anyway, I was limited on the camera gear I could take, and quite frankly was quite out of practice behind the camera, I was always a bit rushed due to various reasons ,and fumbled around a bit not "really" enjoying myself as much as I normally would.


....but meh (lol)

[04OFF]

Matty, It was announced over the PA that Ash and Brad had requested only the paid photographer should take pics, something about not wanting random stuff posted on facebook etc (not that im even on facebook)

So yeh, in respect to that request, my camera stayed in the back of the car, shame, as of course i would have liked to take some pics ,i had some cool ideas for some shots , and looking at the lenses the pros used, would have certainly been different additions to what they had :smile:


To be honest the pro guys looked like they had it covered well, so letting them do their job unrestricted is always the best option, having someone else in the way, is just a pain in the arse.



My son may have some he took (before the request not to), but as per above, id like to get permission from Ash and Brad before i post them here ...:smile:

I have spoken to my sister and she has given the all clear. I was only really looking for any pics of the cars that's all as it was an all patrol affair

[04OFF]

Thanks, ill have a look what my son got (if anything) tonight.

Yeh sorry dude, i got nuffin, id have loved to have just got some shots of the cars (and my own car), but i figured the request extended for the whole period while the pro photographers were still taking official wedding shots, no biggie as the car was theirs for the day, and i was happy to keep the camera in the bag rather than risk offending anyone :smile:

Sorry Matty i fell asleep last night, here are some my son got.....

I don't actually think it is a bike burnout ?


Haha ,yes almost do need the L plates its been that long :tease:




We did go up to the sink hole, pretty much same as the first, (just a bit further down the beach ,toward rainbow) no vehicle access past the sink hole due to trees, and the entire adjacent camp site/s are roped off, but the rest of inskip is business as usual .

Just got these ph pics of the kids standing in front of it, may give you some idea of what to expect.
