Bought a Canon 550d a few days ago. Been shooting only in auto mode so far, I'm still trying to figure out how to use it lol.

Mess around in Photoshop with this photo

Nice one David. Contrast is nice

just a few more shots from work. not sure what im going to do when there is nothing left to explore.

Get a longer monopod so you can aim the gopro through the windows below? :P

What lens you using, 'Fisheye Lens'?

im using a GoPro, so not even a real camera, lol

as for pointing it into the windows below... not sure i would see much other than a bunch of suits doing normal suit type things

One of these?

^yep, thats the one.

Sidd, I gain access by exploring. Some places its just a matter of lucky timing... I go up there at a time they forget to lock doors. simple as that really. would love to gain access properly to a few of the higher profile buildings and use a decent camera with a massive boom to get further out for crazier angles, but I'm not going to hold my breathe, lol.

Be sure to put a brick in the door so you don't get locked out there... ala the Hangover!

my favourite is a regular bolt placed into the striker plate so the lock bolt cant close. another is simply using a rolled up piece of paper wedged in the doorframe to stop the door closing completely. always a good idea to have a few little magnets with you just in case there are reed switches, lol..

pretty much all over now tho, nothing worthwhile left to explore sadly. resuming boring life in 3, 2, 1...

I'm trying to overpower your comments with my signature :)

haha I think you're winning

Mine is the dodgy white GQ wagon.

Nice - like the tires!

Bit hard to see quite how steep it is but this was a little heart stopping: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=kOinXJ0v3Cc

Yupp totally agree

Nice shot

been thinking about a micro 4/3 camera with a real fisheye lens pretty much just to get higher quality versions of shots like these.

I've actually been thinking about buying some sort of compact with a large sensor too.. started doing some research: google spreadsheet

(Just shoot us your email address if you want write access)

@Lepperfish - nice gig shots (know how hard it is to take those)

Whoa that would have been an amazing shot if you were half an hour earlier (I'm assuming its a sunset not a sunrise)

Ps. thanks SAU! :D

ended up buying an olympus e-pl1 for $360. the lens i want tho is around $800 grey import (panasonic 8mm fisheye. half the weight of the olympus fisheye and doesnt need a 4/3 to micro 4/3 adapter saving $300). will be worth it for the higher quality of the pics once i have saved up enough. time to start trying to get permission to take shots from the higher profile buildings, not sure how that will go. have a feeling it will involve spending more money on roof access type safety courses tho, lol. would be worth it, would love to specialize in photography from high places. something about being high that fascinates me, im scared of heights, but am too addicted to give it up, lol.

either that or i need to road trip to other cities for some rooftopping missions, lol

and your right about that shot, i left it a bit late to get up there, i need to finish up half hour earlier and be up there ready. would also like to bracket it next time and do a night HDR so all elements are exposed properly. that burnt out statue irks me, lol.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
