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?

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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
