hrm yes... ur a classy lad

Not bad Harry, I should ask my bro if he is happy for me to take some shots of him skating! I think a fisheye would be fantastic for that sort of thing, what do you reckon? I mean they do it with the video cameras in 411 Video Magazine etc.

Fisheye skate pics rock Harry do it!!!

I'm going to be doing some skate photo's this sunday finally!!! been trying to get out for ages can't wait.

vp_s_wagon

I wanted to do that really badly but the problem is that the loaction is all under shade cover and my fisheye NEEDS a very small aperture so the edges are not ridiculoously soft. I generally have to use f.29! So when I put it on in the shade and set it to f.29, I have to use a shutter speed of about 2secs and that is just useless.

Yeh I would love to see someone else's skate pics if anyone has any. I have never tried Skate before. It's not that hard to shoot, just hard to find a location with evenly distributed lighting and one that is not a boring skate park. I'm not saying skate parks are bad, it's just that it has to be a cool looking skate park to give it a good backdrop and the right sort of mood.

i reakon the hobart stake park could accommodate for that.. has a cement wall over 2 metres high on one of the main ramps.. maybe have a go at it there rainey?

btw Harry number 5 for the win stands out more then the others to me

mighty-toy-boy

You use the fisheye at that aperture? Maybe i should try that, never even thought of it.
Tomorrow i'll have a few up hopefully, going to reddie for bit of a skate.

In a few weeks i should have some decent ones 'cause i get to go out with some local nationally sponsored guys. Can't wait.

Skatepark photos suck in comparison to a nice set of stairs or gap.

Yeah my bro is always at EC skatepark Nova, I reckon I'll go there!

Nice shots Ghetto! Harry I'd love to see some fisheye shots if you get a chance.

Major

i like ya work harry.. but please give the skate stuff a miss... unless its off a building into an oncomming truck... that i would pay to see

vp_s_wagon

Nice shots ghetto, I recon the 1st would have been the best, bugger about the head and arm being cut off though.

Major,
Yeh I hadn't tried it before, I just wanna try all different types of photography, Only been at it 4 months, still experimenting alot. I don't know what I'll do next though...

Rainey,
I might give one or two fisheye's a go, but I don't want to dwell on any particular type of photography for too long. Not yet anyway. It gets boring very quickly when people only have one type of shot day after day. Even it they are good.

Harry

Moment

very dodge harry. haha

please do control yourself with the fisheye, don't want it getting outta hand like those silly siloutte shots

puzzle man

sorry have not been in this thread for a wile
that is a top shot thats what i was thinking.

i like the new skate shots

i like number 6 BUT i think it should have been slower (shorter shutter speed) just a little blur

vp_s_wagon

Yeh I agree,
The guy had no idea I was taking the shot so I couldn't try it again.

Moment,
Don't worry, I wont, I'm not sure I'lleven get a chance to take the shot. I'm selling the camera very soon. I have th guy coming round this week to pick it up, so i'll be camera-less for about a week Oh well, th D80 is worth the wait!

Harry

vp_s_wagon

OK it's not official
I NO LONGER HAVE A DIGITAL SLR!
The trusty D50 is now gone and the New D80 is on it's way. Equipped with a Sigma 18-200mm, I have only just discovered this lens, I was about to get a Tamron 18-200mm but after reading this I have decided so get the Sigma, it has a steel frame and is alot sharper and is actually $110 CHEAPER than the Tamron... How can I loose!
The whole Package is a huge bargain, my dad travels to the UK and back once every week or two so I can get it from the UK with a 17.5% discount because it is duty free. All in all it will only cost me $1650 for the whole lot!! (after tax-back) which is only $650 more than I sold my D50 for!

Anyway, I did take a couple of shots before i sold the D50
They are not the best, just wanted to try it out. Also, Before you comment, the girl in the blue is my little sister and they are all only 16. Then again Nickle is 17, but she can defend herself

sweet shoot's........hope the new cam works out better then the last one did.

16 omg.

`Nova

shots are awesome yet again harry no 3 FTW.. i tried the mirror effect with b'n'w photography a few years ago.. but colour is heaps better... you're going to have lots of fun with the d80. i was playing with one of these the other day when i was looking for my remote and the sigma lense is awesome too.. from what i've heard.. and for the price you're getting it for.. of couse you can't loose

the sigma is metal construction which means durable.. but so is the tamron it just has a plastic coating.. and they both have zoom lock.. they're spot on about the true focal range.. with the cameras.. if i can find the websites again i'll send you the links..

enjoy the d80

jimeegee

Cool man, I've still been checking your posts, continued great work. Can't wait to see what the D80 brings. Crap loads better I'd say, I know my camera upgrade is certainly worlds apart

Haven't played with that Sigma 18-200mm, but if its sharper than the Tamron like you say, it'll do a treat, coz the Tamron is a nice piece of work...on a Canon (Sorry, couldn't help myself )

Major

16 going on 25.. someone should tell them less is best with the make up... i like to only use a light lip stick when i go out... ohh iv said to much... ahh so yes nice photos there son keep up the good work

Nickle

Nope. Crap. I hate them all Harry.

vp_s_wagon

Cheers babe, love u too.

Jimeegee,
Have a look at this, it's the two next to each other: http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7524

D80 i envy you i truly do, can't wait too see the pics when you get it. And those last few pics very different from you but they are really good.

Jon51

I really wanna skate woolstores one day. nice photos harry

vp_s_wagon

Cheers mate,
How do u know about Woolstores (sorry I'm not in the skate scene) is it well known?
As far as I can tell it's great place, really chilled out, good skaters too.

Harry

jimeegee

Hmmm...worlds apart. Don't know about this one though Harry, the quality of the Tamron is far off what I've managed to get with it in the past, but there's no denying how well the Sigma shapes up. No wonder its so popular...that and the fact Nikon can't supply enough 18-200s of their own

Can't wait til you get it

Jon51

it's perths infamous spot, kinda like how sydney has the Martin Place and Brisbane used to have redtile

Whats the go Harry ?

Rainey

ta22-with a 3t

Nickle

Nicole

vp_s_wagon

lol, discussion about me on my own thread... "ssshh, he might hear us!"

yeh Nickle was right. I am cameraless and doing my exams... making me depressed.
I get the camera on Friday though so u can bet I'll be back up and running very soon.
Nice to see I am appreciated! Are u all waiting for me to fight with someone? or just abuse some more photos!

I am going on a critisism frenzy tonight so U'll see alot of new, probably long and abusive, comments from me.

lol, just realised that ta22-with a 3t's comment. It is about number 7 in my first page!

Nickle

Of course we're waiting for u to fight with someone! makes things interesting around here hahaha....so really you're just apreciated for entertainment value... not ur ACTUAL comments

Nicole

I GOT MY D80!!
It is sooo cool! I love the 2.5" LCD and all the new features. Mostly I love the D200 sensor and OS, the ISO noise is so low! I was shooting as ISO 800 -1000 and It was almost perfect. Better than ISO 400 on my D50!
Still waiting for my Sigma 18-200mm so I am only using a (borrowed) 50mm f.1.8 right now.
Lens should arrive on wednesday or thursday.

I'll be doing some shots tommorow with it (probably just macro stuff) so I'll get them up soon.

sounds sweet Harry

Bloody hell, I'm still awaiting my D80 w/ 18-135mm

I was told 3-5 weeks about 2 or 3 weeks ago. So anxious.

vp_s_wagon

The 1st couple of photos from the D80.
This thing is so sweet to use. I borrowed a mate's 18-70mm for the night. Still wating for my Sigma to arrive. It will be nice to actually own a lens.
When I get the Sigma there will be lots more updates.

1. 2.

Number two was taken at ISO 640 with no noise reduction at all (not even in-camera)... ISO noise?
