Hey fellas, not sure what people are doing tonight but Nick and I are going down to the Granny Smith festival to have a play with some fireworks photography. They put on a small fireworks show from the oval that is actually really nice.

City of Ryde's website seems to be down this site says the show is at 8:30 pm - hopefully their site will come back up soon so I can confirm.

I took this video at the event last year:

Also worth noting, don't let the sedan appearance fool you, this thing is a freakin weapon..

to me it seems like the highlights have been tweaked alittle to give that hdr look, and the rear bumper seems different colour to the rest of the body..clean looking car though

Incredible view from the wedding ceremony :)

Hardest day to shoot with it raining in the morning then full bright sun, then overcast, then bright sun again.. everyone sweating and squinting. But what an awesome day it ended up being!!

Dont you love it with a guest walks in front to take a picture.

Still love the pic though.

Everyone outside. Felt sorry for the couple standing in the hot sun. Hardest thing to exposure and get the lighting correct.

OK I have a confession to make. I love big bold beautiful eyes. I should make a post one day of all my collection.

No editing to the eyes or skin at all for the next three pics. They really do have big bold beautiful eyes!!!!!

IMG_1796_resize.jpg

Yup no editing done to the eyes at all.

Another person that walked into my shot :(

But just love her eyes!!!

Awesome shots sidd, I reckon as a photographer at these sorts of events you have the perfect excuse to compliment women on their features while at the same time appearing genuine and not overtly hitting on them? "You have amazing eyes, never seen anything like em, I just have to take a photo of you!" "Brilliant, you're a natural! Have you ever had a photoshoot done before? No? I could do one for you if you're not busy next Saturday..." etc etc ;)

have a play with some fireworks photography

hope to see something fresh and new rather than the typical shots that every man and his dog takes. even just fresh new viewpoints would rock.

heres a pic i took a couple days ago with the kids camera...

panos with a full auto point and shoot can be challenging, lol.

awesome, im a sucker for a nice sunset.

and i love panoramic shots...

Matt - hahahahaha I know, but im too scared to approach and say that. Dont want to look like a perv or anything lol.

Jay - Excellent pano man.. Love it!!!! Now frame that asap and hang it on a wall. Looks incredible :)

^ nicely done man :)

btw for this shot of the ute you posted up: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6171/6233733585_bc3e85ee74_b.jpg

Wouldnt it be better to have all the cars in focus? I feel not every shot has to be a panning shot. But thats just my 2cents.

Sidd what camera and lens did u use for that last shot?

Canon just released an upgrade to my 1D mk4....

It's called the 1D X.

It shoots 14 frames per second!!

Has an ISO of up to 208500!!!

This is what one of my friends just sent me

Jay - Excellent pano man.. Love it!!!! Now frame that asap and hang it on a wall. Looks incredible :)

cheers Sidd. looks great from a distance, but up close I can see a few places where it didnt stitch together so well.

but...

made myself a cheap and nasty pano head. probably not quit as good as a purpose built head, but should be better than handheld. will try it out today and post up the results.

I was snapping some quicker shots over the weekend Sidd, I agree with you, mixing it up is essential. I was panning that shot because I was shooting specifically for that team, so wanted to give them the full focus of attention.

Nicely done Jay. Should work a treat, who cares if it's not pretty. Ghetto mods rock! Most of my paint kit is ghetto as. sponsored by Jaycar and shonkiness :P

That 1Dx looks the shit. Lets see how nikon responds. I've been following the D800 rumour mill, 38mp or something ridiculous. Either way, the next step in cameras looks like it's going to be a pretty strong leap forward.

some more randoms. some from bathurst, some from forster...

At bathurst I was trying to shoot around the track too, focus on the culture and spirit of the event as much as the action on the track.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
