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

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.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
