Alright, I took some of these shots waaaaay back in May the night before our guests from Albuquerque, New Mexico headed home. The Festival of Lights was on here in Sydney, so it was a good opportunity to experiment with my little Ricoh Caplio R4 and decided if I should really step up, bite the bullet and get that Canon D-SLR I'd been considering for ages...

These shots have had very little post-prod work done on them, and at that only using the tools in MS Live Gallery. I've only just got my hands on a copy of PhotoShop CS3 and am (very slowly) learning to use that.

This one should have been reset so the horizon was level, but meh...

As mentioned, all these shots were done on my little Ricoh using a small Joby "Gorillapod" tripod and long exposures. I was really happy with the results, so on the way home from the airport after dropping off our guests I snapped up a twin-IS kit Canon 450D.

ok first shoot with my d5000 hope you like =] any constructive criticism greatly appreciated also

Awesome shots man, they look great. :rant:

Great shots, Roy, but I've gotta ask: WTF is that in the background of this picture, behind the building? It looks like a cross between mountain ranges and a too-close-for-comfort moon...

Roy - Mate im so jealous.. I miss Austria so much.. Such a beautiful country!! I was there in winter so the scenery was totally different. Wonderful images and i would love to see more.

17-40mm + EOS 350D :banana:

There's nothing in it when it comes to zoom length and wide angle between the 17-40mm and 18-55mm however it focuses much faster, is much sharper and just feels nicer in general.

16-35mm Vs. 17-40mm - is it really worth the extra coin for 1 stop?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
