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

I know it's pretty crazy. My friend who is a serious photography was telling that canon are planning to release a camera that's 54mp or something like that.

He was saying that he can't wait cause a lot of photos he has been taking lately are on film and cost shit loads to develop.

I showed him photos of the Bisley V8 u took Matt and he was very impressed.

Why would you need 54megapixels but? Having more megapixels shouldnt get you all excited unless your printing on big billboards or actually doing proper commerical shoots. But then you should be using a mediuim format camera anyways.

You know hasselblad have been making 60plus megapixels for a long time. But totally different camera I know. Just saying.

Having more megapixels aint gonna make your pic look better.

Saying that I have used the h4d 50 and 40 and WOW. Lets just say my 16gb card filled up in no time. Will be using it again this weekend. Cant wait.

Hopefully canon brings out the 5d3 which is probably more affordable. Guess I got now till march to save up for the 1dx.

Even still would love to see some proper reviews on it specially the focusing system. Looks very interesting.

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

I used a canon 5dm2 and all the pics except the wide shot of the house was taken with a 135L. The shot of the house was with a 24-70L.

Hope this helps.

Matt - nice shots of the landscape. I like the one with the ducks in the water.

How and why were u using a h4d sidd? Hire one or something? I'd love to play with one one day.

Thanks gtr, I've got one more shot to share from the Bisley shoot.

Thanks will, it was good to shoot some random stuff for a change. Back into it though, shooting a 34 with ztune kit and a 68 stand over the weekend :)

Yes it will still produce a sharp photo PROVIDING your settings are correct and focus is good.

Full Frame gives more depth and more dynamic range than a crop body (7D/50D/550D etc).

I hope this helps!

^ Yup what kory said. Having a better glass will improve your image quality, but you still need to get all the settings correct on the camera.

Another photographer I know has one so will be borrowing his. Not sure if you can hire one easily here from a camera/lens hiring place. Actually maybe sunstudios but no doubt it will be couple of k each day. The camera is worth like 15-20k upwards depending on which model.

nice nice. i'd like to play around /watch someone use one properly one day. how did u find the tethering? Time consuming and annoying, or helpful?

Glass will help. Sensor in body will help. But what helps most is the tog. You can only polish a turd so much. :P

who has the better camera fight....funny as

edit: what do they mean by saying eg: "135L is too long", do they mean u have to stand back further from the subject to get in the frame ?

lol wow thats alot of money wasted

"135L is too long" - Whoever said that means he thinks he needs to stand too far away from the subject to get them into the photo.

Awesome photo Sidd... Lots of emotion... really helps having such a sharp photo

Edited by wilorichie

Who said the 135L was too long? Well its a fixed prime lens so if you want to take a wide of something or fit a big group of people then it will be hard. You can take several steps back, but I normally use that lens for portraits or candid shots when I dont want to be in peoples faces.

If I were you, I would purchase the 70-200f4L lens. Super sharp and you will probably love the zoom factor. Also its not that expensive either. Go for that lens first before the 135L.

Cheers Richie.

Matt - fark you posing like a model bro!!! Time to create a page on MM :P hahahah

Latest blog post: 60% of shots taken with the 135L :)

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

Haha, my light painting kit just got an upgrade with some nice jaycar goodness. Now to find the time to use it, lol.

Gave the pano head a trial run today. Not sure if i found the nodal point properly, but wherever I moved it seemed to be working fine :confused:

(not that it matters, nothing is very straight with my setup, haha)

anyway, shot this today. spewing I didnt get a full 180 degree view in tho, had a play with some 360 deg pano viewers and this would have looked awesome if it wasnt missing a bit of sky and sand, lol

20111020-100645_P.thumb.JPG

link to larger version (600px max height)

will try and get some sort of pano viewer set up on my site soon

(oh, and panos that involve things like water are a pain in the ass :P)

Edited by Jay019

Great stiching job jay. Just looked at the bigger version. Look forward to seeing more from you.

Richie - Which pic? The one on the blog for that wedding? The first pic of the couple was probably around f11-f16, 1/160th, iso 400. Cant remember now but will have to check exif.

For the reception shots with the 135L, then it would be f2.8-f4. Hope this helps in some way? But dont follow my settings, there are other factors involved as well like ISO, shutter speed, flash settings.

But if you have specfic questions in regards to lighting etc then let me know.

Just checked out your website and noticed you do business card printing.. hmmm could be interested :)

Try a pano on a closer subject J. that will help u work out if nodal point is right. it looks close if not spot on though :)

I'm a model now. I'm gonig to put it up on a new website. Matts Models.. bypass model mayhem and go PRO :P I wish i could watermark my model shots with a special model watermark to proove i'm PRO.

here's a couple more jet ones...

I'm dangerous. Who wants to be my wingman? ;)

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
