Wow! These shots are amazing! Just one question as my dad is getting the Canon Eos 7D aswell.. What Lens are you using?

thanks mate, some of the other ones i have are not so good

most of the panning shots are with my 100-400mm lens, the wide angle panning is with my 24-105mm lens. and everything else was with the 24-105mm as well.

so im a month behind on my project 52, time to catch up two weeks.

found this on the way to my photo spot today, the photo doesnt do it justice. it is so damn nice in real life. and the owner was watching me very closely while i was shooting away

Amazing as always Mcrow. Keep it up buddy!

thanks mate. it was good fun, it wasn't that fun getting wet though haha! safe to say my socks where ruined

Very nice pics mcrow
It sucks that I don't have any places like that near me.

thanks mate!

i think it sucks i dont have any decent race tracks near my place haha! sandown is the worst track to take photos at.

mate you are a dead set freak. Those photos are awesome.

thanks Manic, still improving every time i go out.

pro tip, dont forget to focus the image correctly when doing landscapes haha! that first one i didnt even focus for at all, got there just as the clouds where getting red and forgot to do the focusing

I only got about halfway through, but some amazing shots mcrow! Fav so far is the tilt-shift shot at Southern Cross station. Was that done with a lens, or post process?

Post process. If ya go back several pages in this thread, there's a bit of a chat about it. There's a tute here.

yep it was PP just add a blur filter in photoshop, and just get the right amount of blur.

Hah - thats what happens when I get impatient and only read half a thread!

I've played with the blur effects on Elements (I don't have CS) to try and recreate a tilt effect, but not with results as good as that though.

Mind you, when it comes to anything graphical I struggle with stick figures! Give me 96 channels of audio, a huge-ass desk and rack of outboard gear and I'm right as rain though... you damned visually artistic folk!

my 7d is no more

went photographing Toorongo Falls, on the way back i found a good little spot. took some shots and wanted to get lower, which meant putting the tripod into the river. about to take a shot and the tripod fell over, lens first into the river

the lens (canon 10-22mm) and body are both fuc^ed. i can see water in the lens and the camera will not turn on. time to go buy another one when money permits.

Damn thats harsh!

i know, i hate myself right now.

i still dont know if the memory card survived, i hope to god it did i got some awesome shots. it wasn't wet when i pulled it out so ive got my fingers crossed.

Man that sucks.
Also I've had memory cards go through the washing machine and there still alright so hopefully your card should still be good.

i hope so. ill track down a data recovery place. i put the card into the memory card reader in my pc and nothing happens, so its corrupted.

and my favourite lens is now dead the canon 10-22mm has water in it, i can see it. its pretty funny actually

seriously considering going grey imports for the replacements. works out to be $800 cheaper.

Have you looked into getting it repaired? There are some pretty good places that can fix these things. May be worth it for high quality stuff.
