hi. bit of an intro. i dont do this professionaly, in fact im quite the amatuer :). i've just gotten into photography, since dad bought a dslr for his work. i manage to steal it quite often nowadays. i generally have little idea of what im doing so any help is welcome.

i do very little in the way of post processing, mainly because im lazy. when i do bother though its just levels, contrast, and other basic stuff

the majority of my pics will be taken with the dslr. however most of the earlier ones are taken with an ixus75 p&s. quite a versatile little camera. i also had access to a G6 i think it was. a bit more advanced.

my "gear"

Canon 450D

canon EFS 18-55mm stock lens

canon EF 73-300mm zoom lens

Canon EF 100 mm 1:2.8 Macro lens

noname brand tripod

hope you like what you see. i'll be adding pictures very soon, once i figure out how to watermark them. does anyone know if i can do this in batches? and add borders too?

ooh 100mm macro lens - fancy!!

watermarks and borders! geesh! sound pretty pro to me! :wub:

edit: did some reading and options include:

(some free - some not - some apparently remove EXIF data etc etc)

watermarker

Picture-shark (removes EXIF)

irfan view

thumbs plus

photoshop (removes EXIF)

lol on second thought i really cbf with that stuff. ok these are in chronological order as best i remember. i've copied the numbering system from one of you guys cos it works and quoting is so much better that way.

all these are taken with the IXUS75 mainly. also the G6

Heya.. nice shots :P

Just a quick suggestion

I think shot 32?

Try that one again at f5.6 or f8 and see how you go :D

Keep the ISO down to 100..

The colors in the water will look a lot more still and it will have that gloss look.

Also i noticed most of those car pics in the day time are set to iso 800? Any reason why such ISO value?

Notice how the dog pic is a bit grainy due to being iso 800.

Just a suggestion man thats all..

thanks for the advice man. i'll try 32 again for sure. the car shots im not sure why they were at 800. i guess i gotta pay more attention to my settings lol. as for the dog i know its grainy but she was under a table in low light and i was handholding. oh well

finally figured out watermarking in photoshop. although it does different sizes for different res but meh good enough.damn this no edit feature means i cant change the ones already up.

here are a couple of new ones

14's great, did you take one with him blocking the sun as well? could have worked well either way.

i like 32 the way it is..the water looks good..everyone can do longer shutter these days and make it look like 9.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
