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.

    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
