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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
