nice!

BBS LM + 33GTR = WIN........... I might be a little biased tho;)

I gotta have a go at this light painting shenanigans...

[funkymonkey]

would have jumped at that job when I left Uni many moons ago, Penguin are a bit of an institution in the design community... but yeah publishing doesn't pay so well for GD...

I'm lucky in that I work for a studio that does a bit of everything... and my boss doesn't mind me taking on my own clients etc

this is true, some of the designers talk about their salaries n stuff while I'm sittin with them at lunch and it's wierd that they get paid crap money compared to other companies. good thing about web dev is that we got to tell HR how much we want to be paid

cheers. its getting harder each day though as ive shot so much of the city that finding new things to focus on is becoming a challenge.

Time to move to a bigger city, Jay?

yeah good abstract with lines and shapes jay. they're all interesting and well composed.

how did ur canon shot turn out nick? is it a winner? Is it Egg-cellent?

Agreed with Matt on this.

It turned out okay Matt, was harder to set up than I'd hoped and I didn't achieve quite exactly what I'd planned in my head, but I'm pretty happy with it. It was certainly a learning Eggsperience! I hope it's a winner - maybe 10% of all the shots submitted are actually well thought out, in my view. Most are pretty ordinary, with little or no imagination behind them.

Here's mine: http://www.canon.com.au/weekendtoday/entri...spx?imageID=498

You in US now?? yea i agree i like that first shot as well of the girl.

yeah man, just popped over to visit the family, heading back to London in December

[barraspalding]

neighbor popped over to show me what he found in the BBQ tonight... surprised we aint seen more of them as its been raining for weeks

[siddr20]

That would seriously scare the crap out of me.. no way would I be near it, even if its not poisonous.

[siddr20]

Love that shot kory!!! the purple really stands out!!

Would love for you to do one on mine

[Jay019]

barra... our kids would have wanted to keep it as a pet, lol.

tried using slower shutter speeds today. some worked ok(ish) other need a few refinements.

since the poor lumix broke (lens cover stopped opening and closing properly) ive been running the G11 as my regular sidekick point and shooter. i still use it on auto a lot, but have been using shutter/aperture priority a bit. the built in ND filter is awesome for slowing things down a bit further. hoping its fair quiet tomorrow so I can do more experimenting with it, get more of a feel for it.

going to give this another try and actually take a bit more care with the composition, lol.

i reckon in a few days i wont want to go back to using the Lumix. its kinda sad tho, I did love that little thing, haha.

[siddr20]

Good to see your using the camera for whats its meant to be used for. love that tilt shift pic.. Keep it up jay!!

[MaTBoY]

nice shots jay.

thats awesome nick. better than someone just dropping an egg or something.

[siddr20]

^ nice matt!!! i dig that.. Do you like the light/reflection on the windscreen?

[GoldZilla]

nice shots jay.

thats awesome nick. better than someone just dropping an egg or something.

Agreed, nice shots Jay.

Thanks dude. Like I said, I wanted to show that I'd put some imagination into the composition.

That looks great, Matt - good shot of that car!

[Jay019]

keep those awesome light painted car pics coming matt, always looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.

where was this man?

[barraspalding]

Burswood Ent. complex... going by the banner up the back. WA? no idea why...

[FST513]

Barra - I would sh!t myself if i saw that. First thing i would do is turn the BBQ on and light that fcuker up. Snakes scare the fcuk out of me. Theres brown snakes around my area as its surrounded by bush that surrounds Manly Dam. A few dogs have died over the years being bitten by snakes on some of the tracks. If my dog got bitten i would go straight after the snake no hesitation and beat its head with my foot a million times over! Besides that, i'd run away like a 10yr old girl.

Jay - Love those slow shutter shots! Something about them i really like. I've always wanted to do one in Sydney's CBD at peak hour but have one person stand still and everyone walk around her waiting at the traffic lights.

Matt - Sweet shot! As Sidd said, the windscreen reflections are my only nag, but nothing major. Sweet job!

One from me.

haha... promise ya bud, if it was a Brown:

1) it would be dead. bagged and released that fella... carpet pythons are harmless to humans.

2) i woulda been taking pics with my zoom lens from the fence line, not the 35mm.

where was this man?

Burswood in Perth, they striped it and put it together there and started it up several times. It's part of the festival of speed we have going on here now where Mark Webber will go time attack style in the car at Barbagallo, both long and short track

Heres a few from the RBR F1 car demo in Perth today.
