the glass will help out a lot. but no you won't get the same quality as a newer body.

image size.

iso.

colour depth.

focusing capabilities.

dynamic range.

and more will all suffer.

It will definately look stacks better than a kit lens on the same body though.

p.s. Thanks ;)

After the Chocolate Cruise yesterday I stopped by Waragamba to see what the overflow looks like in person. Snapped a few shots but really didn't take the time I should have to set up some decent stuff. Was incredible how many people came out to see it too.

Last ones are a couple of shots from the car cruise.

cheers Pat (and everyone else giving me props) but I havent owned a DSLR since 2010. this G12 is fairly close to a DSLR tho with its manual controls.

i have a job interview today for a web programming position (just a contract, but its a start) so hopefully i can start a new fund for a new camera.

as a bonus this position could involve some photography work, even if its just taking pics of products for the website.

guess your G12 at least has a decent sized lense and you seem to know how to get the best out of it using different settings etc, i have never changed anything for a shot other than turn the flash on or off, a DSLR with full manual settings is going to be a real challenge..will be so tempted to just leave it in auto like i do with the little instasnap thing i have.

Someone last night recommended i get a Canon D series for best quality and i would be able to use it for videography as well, problem is like you Jay...funds..maybe i should wait till the tax return comes in and get the best one i can afford.!

Now is SHE single?

lol

great shots, oh and what do u mean clear? i do wipe the lense now and then even though its like 1cm sq.

derp

Haha, she is my wife. Been playing around with the 80s look so taking a few random photos to test it on. When I said "crystal clear", I ment- those photos from the point and shoot is amazing in quality.

Been a while since my last post...

Tops man, love that photo.

Another 80s attempt... They are all using different methods to get the results... trying to find one I am completely happy with... I look at them and think they look good, then seconds later absolutely hate it and vice versa.

which model did you go with? solid state? no-ones laughing at you in here mate, you go to the wasteland for that. I like the second shot more, slightly artier than the standard engine bay shot.

Great start mate. Welcome to the manual world.

The last photo is as is, but the other two of my wife had a new action I'm trying to create for a cross between modern and 80s look.

Richie - Personally not a fan of making an image looks like from the 80s. My style is more modern vibrant pics. So maybe thats why I cant see it working. I do like the PP you did to your wife.

Just in the past 2 or 3 days I have been doing more black and whites. Well just mucking around in PP.

Nice shot there fongy. Are those fake lights put in PP on top of the image? Eitherway nice lighting on the car.

Peter - the only way to learn is to keep taking photos :) Keep at it mate.

patty - hahah im sure you know the answer to your question lol.

Great photos as usual man!

When I look at some of those 80's looking photos, I can just sit here and look at them for hours. The vibrant photos, even though they are amazing, I find myself flicking through them quicker. I do keep both copies though (standard and 80s) so it is available for whomever to select from. But I do find myself just sitting there staring on end - I'm sure you know what I mean here.

On a different note, I've been asked to shoot some weddings and photos here and there, and starting to gain interest from people I don't know. I enjoy photography more than IT to be honest, so I thought, why not make a website to help transition? http://www.richardgrainger.com.au/ - I've been building this website from the ground up, completely from scratch. Still a few things here and there needed to be done, but I thought I'd share it with you guys before anyone else :) Only closest family/friends have seen this website so far.

To me its black and white photos. I can stare at it all day long. But everyone has a different style and if clients like the 80s style then you should cater to them and market them. There are thousands of wedding photographers but if you can cater yourself to a particular market/target then you will be set. But keep at it and dont let our comments keep you away from making a style.

For me I like to see vibrant modern pictures so my opinion might not be suited. Its good your giving the client two choices. But in the end its double processing. Once you become a full-time wedding photographer you will realise how available your time is.

Anyways enough rambling.. Your website is coming along nicely :) Maybe the menus at the top could be changed a little?

Messy hair is messy:

i think this is the better of the two personally. although, the longer leading line (station platform) in the other one works well. shot in landscape format would have worked well to emphasize the bend in the track.

went out for a bit tonight...

gah, they really need to do some weeding :P spewing my camera has a 15 second exposure limit. probably should have sat around stacking 20 or so pics to get star trails, but would have got bored.

those are great shots guys, something about the gorgeous girl in your shot Siddr...Im not a betting man but if i was i would put all my money on her having ample boobs. Yeah i know, real classy.

anyway thanks for the advice Jay, not sure the landscape format would have made a difference with my tiny camera but i WILL try it out next time im at a similar stop to see if it makes any impression on the final result.

how much spelunking do you do in those caves? gotta take balls that, no fear of getting caught by a flash flood or giant rat ala' fallout3?

your right, it might not work, but experimentation is the key. sometimes its the things you think wont work that actually do.

the 'cave' here is just a big tunnel under a road. so no risk of getting caught out really.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
