Dont get me wrong i do like that edit, but the style of processing has been done on most of the photos.. The client seems to like it which is good.

Sorry for the confusion... Cheers for the kind words.

So what exactly do you do tho? got a website?

Took over 400 photos on Monday, but only made time to process a few - damned Facebook and SAU are so distracting! This one is my cousin from Canberra, he was up here for a wedding and I took him to a skate park in Merrylands (same place we had our SAU Show n Shine a few years back) on Woodville Rd. This is the first time I've tried action shots like this, and I'm pretty happy with the results. :) Used a mix of Av and Tv modes, and with this shot there was too much in the way of a distracting background, so I did some RAW processing (exposure, saturation, and then fill light because he was wearing all black), then de-sat in PS, and colour splash.

Oh, and today (Tuesday) I bought a 60D!!! Haven't started using it yet, but hopefully will get a chance this week. Also, hopefully CS3 will be able to deal with the RAW files...

Woohoo! Nice job Nick!

Let us all know how the 60D is! Especially the AF i'm curious about.

Also, unfortunately, CS3 won't be able to handle the RAW files... CS5 will though, looks like you'll need CS5 OR possibly CS4. Wait and see.. I'm using camera RAW 6.2 at the moment with CS5. I'm pretty sure camera raw 6.3 will come out supporting the 60D but only with CS5.

So what exactly do you do tho? got a website?

No website (currently under construction... I'm my own worst client)

I'm a graphic designer out of a little studio here in Melbourne called Simm Design

Here are a few pages from my folio that include photography... the first few (ANZ, Monash, EastLink) are using mostly stock library imagery, whilst the hotel stuff and Canninvale towels were shot by Earl Carter, who is a top notch shooter down here in Melbs

Also includes a website I did for Stuart Crossett who does some pretty cool advertising photography, check him out at stuartcrossett.com.au

I have also put in a couple of corporate IDs I've done for smaller businesses, no imagery there

Finally there is a page with some of my photography... I'm no pro its just a hobby!

Okay I think I've spammed your thread enough now! back to posting cool photos

Thanks Kory! It's funny, even in the RAW file the photo looks so surreal (at least to me), as if I'd stitched my cousin into the background in PS.

Hmm, I might try a few test shots and see what happens anyway- if it works, then bonus! If not, then CS5 it is.

Woohoo! Nice job Nick!

Camera RAW 5.x = CS4

6.x = CS5 :D

6.2 supports the 60D:

Edited by Passive

No, I forbid you to buy a wide angle lens. You are not allowed to do so.

Why don't you work out what you're comfortable spending, and work out where and how you want to use your lens, then make a decission.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
