great work

[MaTBoY]

really like the first shot. a bit more light on the rear/top of car could have helped but the location.focus.composition are all tops! nice work.

never heard of that band/dj/whatever but they're some cool shots too!

[barraspalding]

Reminded me of one pic I did way back. What sort of light do you use???

[MaTBoY]

it's a light i made. it's about 24x 700mA white LEDS behind a difuser. very similar indeedy!

Love that first shot occxlr8ed! Really excited to get some remote triggers tonight now.

havent photographed drift in almost a year and still finding shots of mine being used around the place...

cost me a few hundred dollars to give away that photo, haha.

[siddr20]

Jay if you were getting paid to photograph those events, you should keep going with it. As in just hire your gear now? Or not worth it?

[Jay019]

Nah I wasn't getting paid, which is where it all went bad I guess. It was costing too much (both time and money) traveling around to all the events.

[MaikuL]

I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism on this one if there's any to be had.

[MaTBoY]

You're shots are awesome J. It's a shame how all that panned out for you ;/ (pun unintended)

Hopefully sometime later on when your famous you can try to get back into it and see if you can turn a dollar. Papers who say they have no coin are liars. They make a motsa off the real estate section each week. I know most of that goes back to Mr Packer but still, they DO have budgets and can afford to pay for shots of your quality.

Nice colours Mikal. It's cold and lonely, makes me think back to my Pop's old garden after he got to sick to tend to it. My only critism is there's no single point of focus. It's just busy. there's lots of stuff all over the place but there's no one feature that over powers the rest.

Still, pretty good for a camera shot When are you going to upgrade to a camera? Even a P/S like Jay uses.

[MaikuL]

Yeah that's true, the pitfalls of a phone camera haha.

I did intend on focusing on the tools but then that didn't really turn out, and I like the detail in the grass and such but then there's the problem of the photo being way too busy.

Well using a phone is quite fun and there are a few P&S cameras around the house which I could use, but maybe at the end of the year I could get back into the world of DSLR's.

Thanks for that.

[MaTBoY]

posted this in the 34 thread, but for those who don't visit it often (Me included)

All done now.

[NA_Goodness]

MaikuL, perhaps if you put something bright red just offset from the centre as a focus point? It'd look great with those minimal colours I reckon

CC: I don't like that little square in the middle. if you remove it I think it will be a heaps better shot

Is that the chick in the shots above? (Or on jdm)
