I actually had the privilege of seeing Birddog use his camera tonight... That's a first for me... He's usually too busy hosting at mini-meets...

There were about 12 of us there tonight and a great time was had by all... More shots to come, once I've PP'd them...

I just had to take a pic :



Not as sharp as I would have liked, but it was a 10 second exposure

Nice work Leek.
Agreed - GREAT to see Birdy behind the camera at 'work':)

leek,
I go out and shoot very often with other as Matt.K and Stubbsy.
More often when I go to Nelson Bay.

I can confirm this. Never managed to take such a beautiful pic of birdy as this one though.

You're kidding John. That's a "frame it" job Clone out or crop out the people in the bottom left and stick it on your wall!!

Lovely shot! Wow...the colours are popping off the monitor! I think I detect a litle noise removal in the image but this has been well handled.

Awesome John, the colours are really singing! Shame I missed another Night shoot, but I'll get to one eventually, looking forward to see some more shots.....

I'd disagree with johndec and would prefer to keep the people in the shot, but that's just me
Well done.

I know Birdy... and I hope to make it to Nelson Bay soon...
My post was meant to be a little tongue in cheek...

A little colour noise removal applied in ACR, but nothing else...

Here's my interpretation of Birddog photographing:

Nice one thaddeus... I wondered what you were doing at the back there...

A few more from last night, all taken with the Tokina 12-24...

Firstly, a 2x2 stitched image of the NSW Art Gallery. Original images taken at 24mm, 0.5s @ f4, stitched with Autostitch, a little vanishing point treatment in CS2 to remove a No Parking sign.


Next, a silky water postcard shot... 24mm, 8s @ f9


Next, silky water & DSLRUsers in action, 24mm, 25s @ f9


Some more shots of the NSW Art Gallery, 24mm, 2.5s @f4


24mm, 1s @ f4

John...beautiful shots.
I like the 2nd one the most!! That's a frame it job for sure!!

Bloody awesome pic.

What an inspired shot. This really has fantastic appeal to me and I keep finding myself drawn back to it to examine the scene. So much to examine yet not busy. An impressive achievement.

#1 - doesn't work for me, sorry. It's a little too distorted for my tastes

#2 - Makes me wish I'd been there earlier. Postcard shot or not, this is a well crafted image (ie I like it )

#3 - A good record of the event

#4 - I think the potential in this shot hasn't been realised (of course I could be completely wrong). I'd portrait crop around the statue and the end of the building to its left, then dodge the top a little to bring the statue top out from the black sky)

#5 - I like what you've done here, but would also be interested seeing this in B & W

Fair enough... If I can figure out how to get Transform to work in CS2, I'll fix it for you...

Why earlier??? I took that while you were there...

Thanks for the suggestion... Like this you mean???
