what sort of cameras are you using?

i just use a canon ixus v2 digital and sometimes i have the little flexible tripod handy so i use that... otherwise rocks/bollards etc make good tripods

lost all my decent photos when the pc shit itself but none were as good as dimis or wodjes...

Sony F707 (model down from what shibby used to have)
Decent camera, a bit bulky/heavy though, plus the pics it takes have some sort of artifact on them... at a guess i think its dead CCD cells burnt out by a laser.
You can see it between the "sails" on the sydney opera house shot, very fucking frustrating sometimes.

Stunned: that pic is awesome... taking panoramic shots is a slut as the pics seem to start distorting and forming a wave when you stich them... I know theres special tripod mounts you buy that rotate the camera just the right amount of degrees and rotate it at its central pivot point.

One from yesterday...

Also, check out this website if you have a bit of a collection of photos... they will print a properly bound book of your stuff, you do the layout yourself. The quality is awesome and it has a hard cover with a proper gloss jacket, embossed lettering, 300gsm satin stock the works! I got a few done for chrissy presents.

And heres the link to a preview of the book I did if anyone wants a look

Just been playing around with real BW film :cool: Tell ya what, I can't come close to matching the tonal range of real BW film using converted digital. Plus it makes you think a lot more before you press the shutter if you know that every shot is costing ~80c :excl:

Has anyone worked with external remote flash setups in a club environment, or wants to experiment using such a setup? I've recently been inspired by a few overseas club photographers and really want to give it shot. Am a bit appauled by the amount of people taking club pics with internal flashes :nugget:

Yeah that was me at Tonic, didn't realise you were a photographer or I would have dribbled plenty of shit to you ;)

I haven't tried remote flashes before but I have had a few ok shots with an external flash plus a fast lens at high iso, I'm thinking about getting the sigma 30mm 1.4 just for club shots ;)

Heres a couple of shots I took tonight, I'm trying to practise people shots but it's a whole different kettle of fish trying to control lighting as well as posing, expressions, etc etc... what do you think?

The B&W is quite dark, especially on the face imho, the pose and angle is appealing though. I'd like to see something like the B&W but with more emphasis on the primary subject.

The colour doesnt do much for me, very "glamour" on the skin and eyes... perhaps too much USM?
