Nice! I have that lens - it's great. Very clear and allows for some great photos with feeling of space like this:


I don't have a flash (yet). Really want one though. My next two purchases are a flash and a macro lens.
There are some great books on how to use flashes. I have one called "The HotShoe Diaries". Lots of good info (although it is Nikon based).
This looks like a good one based on Canon equipment.

Do you have a starburst filter aswell? Looks like it from the Melb night shot - looks great.

Chris (OD)

no filters where used on the Melbourne shots, except a UV one to protect the lens. found some new settings in my camera that make the photo look better without editing it in photoshop.

and thanks Reaper and Sleuth

oh cool, so the camera added in the starbursts? Neat!

yep! i so wanna go and buy more filters haha!

stupid car insurance bill, and phone bill, and board money 3 weeks and ill be ok though

so i went outside to empty the bucket from my shower, and i saw this little fellow out of the corner of my eye. so i grabbed my camera, my 55-250mm lens, and my new flash and ended up with this. absolutely stoked at the outcome.

getting better all the time mcrow, nice shots.

i got a bunch of lens and filters off ebay very cheap from Hong Kong, im talking VERY cheap, they all work fine.
Most of my pics are people/family pics dont do much scenery stuff, perhaps i should.
Anyway great spidy pics mate, great detail, well done.

it took me about 10 second to focus on him, the wind kept blowing his web around.

and thanks for the comments guys

haha - yeah, spider webs in the wind are a real son of an unmarried woman. That shot's great. Very nice and sharp. Pretty sure it's an orb weaver, but there are lots of them and I don't know which one it is.

Get a polarising filter for your 10-22mm. You won't regret it!

Hey nice work Mcrow!
getting the sky shots down pretty good buddy, they look great.

The boat one just needed to be a bit darker on the water to see the boat lights a bit better, good shot

HOw much is a polarization filter?

Was that lens and early self birthday present?
Very nice - I have lens envy! My 28-90mm is getting one of the dreaded Canon errors which basically means a loss of comms between the camera and lens or the lens is jamming. I'm pretty sure the latter is true.

Anywho - some great photos there and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Chris

OH yeah Birthday BOY!!!
hope ya had a good one mate
20! so no longer a teenager now bud, so we can officially say youre cool now! hehe.
im sure you were waiting for this
