[shut flint]

Jan

[night hound]

Oy, whose hand and camera is this ruining my already bad shot?

(shot on the hip and was just pressing shutter button while we crossed the street. Didn't want the fuckers in the car thinking I was shooting them so didn't see the hand).

[shut flint]

Lol

[fleet edge]

@coral crescent

[shut flint]

LMAO

[coral crescent]

[night hound]

Want me to ai replace the camera with a Leica? :D

[coral crescent]

If it works it works

[night hound]

Well, I'm not going to replace it with a broken Leica, eh!

[night hound]

So Aussie gang, how about we share about 5 photos or so each from our meet here? what do you think?

[foggy steppe]

I will have some photos edited by tonight lol

[night hound]

I think I should, too. I just started culling last night. Not that i had a lot to cull.

[static ruin]

You think I've got that many worth uploading? 😆

[night hound]

Pssshhhhhhh I'm pretty sure you do :)

[static ruin]

Well for now, I'll give you that seagull smiling for the camera

[night hound]

I was waiting for that one!

[static ruin]

Yes, 24-70 wildlife photography, who says you need a long lens!

[night hound]

I need height more than anything

[static ruin]

Walk around on stilts next time

[night hound]

Unless I wanna specialise on wildlife butt photos

Look at the difference in our perspective just because of our heights.

[coral crescent]

I'll have a lot done by tonight

No wait make that tomorrow night

Just landed

[foggy steppe]

just finished up my editing

14 photos total

also film photography in sydney is so much fun

[feral herald]

K

[lost perch]

[errant linden]

Hey

[night hound]

Hi!

[fleet edge]

Henlo

[coral crescent]

[acoustic lark]

g’day

[coral crescent]

It's 10pm

[acoustic lark]

It’s day somewhere.

[fleet edge]

G'day

[foggy steppe]

mornin

[acoustic lark]

See? They get it

Get with the times Olive

[foggy steppe]

the legendary seagull

[coral crescent]

The height perspectives are too funny

[static ruin]

PL's most photographed bird

[acoustic lark]

YO WAIT I HAVE A SEAGULL PIC

[night hound]

Man, I'm the only one that fucking seagull looked down on.

[night hound]

Wildlife photography sucks.

[acoustic lark]

Wildlife.

[night hound]

dont' tell me you managed to get that damn bird flying??

[acoustic lark]

I did!

[night hound]

After I tried so many times to make it fly!

[acoustic lark]

I mean it started flying and I was just lucky

[night hound]

That damn bird has no respect for the elderly.

[foggy steppe]

yo wtf

angie got it in flight

better bird photographer than olive already

[acoustic lark]

✨w i l d l i f e✨

[night hound]

See??? How long were we trying to get that thing to fly

[acoustic lark]

I wasn’t really paying attention and then it flew

[fleet edge]

I have a super close up 600mm photo of that bird

[foggy steppe]

thats actually sharp too lmfao

[acoustic lark]

:D

[night hound]

I'll just chase a pigeon next time.

Or a rat.

[acoustic lark]

Pffft Fauxgie

[coral crescent]

One of us had decent focusing

[night hound]

Or I'll climb on someone's shoulder.

[foggy steppe]

r10 focus lmao

[static ruin]

All I hear are excuses

[coral crescent]

I have a lot of birds flying honestly

[acoustic lark]

Facts

[coral crescent]

I just scrap them cause I don't like the composition

[foggy steppe]

chuck one camera at the bird to get it to fly

use the other cam to photo it

[acoustic lark]

I mean yeah you guys have a million

[coral crescent]

[static ruin]

brb buying a z9 to throw at bird

Bigger camera is better to scare it right?

[night hound]

I will bring the 30D next time and just chuck it at a bird.

[coral crescent]

I can imagine some rich guy doing that

[static ruin]

set it on a timer so it takes a photo mid throw

[coral crescent]

Birds in flight aren't that hard to shoot with a 600D tbh

[foggy steppe]

yo if you get that working i bet itd be a cool shot

[night hound]

Bird and camera in flight.

Tha'ts a new wildlife trick

[coral crescent]

As long as they're not flying straight at you

[fleet edge]

Phase one wildlife frightener back

[night hound]

"Nooooo not the Leica!"

Wait, we can throw Iona's 50mm 1.4

[foggy steppe]

oh yes

did you know the hood on it is rubber and i found out it nearly tore in half today

quality

[fleet edge]

Sounds like a case for new gen bird AF on a inspire 3 with a 300mm on it somehow

[foggy steppe]

just drop it on the bird

[night hound]

Maybe I'll bring the 100-400 so I can at least say I've used it 3 times.

[coral crescent]

Can I throw the M11

[foggy steppe]

basically why i brought the 120-300 last time

only if you do the down payment

[fleet edge]

Literally just 99% of bird photography

[acoustic lark]

LMAO true that

[night hound]

Fuck the seagulls. I'll just look for one of those ugly ibis in a dumpster.

[foggy steppe]

yeah i looked at a pelican for half an hour and the minute i turned around it flew off

[night hound]

I think maybe next time, too, we should go to botanial garden and shoot some bats

[foggy steppe]

fucker was sunbathing for over an hour

[coral crescent]

Bats

[night hound]

Tons of them there

[acoustic lark]

tbh so were we

[coral crescent]

Wonder what they taste like

[foggy steppe]

centennial park and you can shoot the bats coming down for water

in summer

[acoustic lark]

olive NO

[coral crescent]

Oh wait the last time that happened

[acoustic lark]

centennial is amazing, we should 100% meet up there sometime

[foggy steppe]

centennial is good for 3 things

[night hound]

We can pan on the cyclists

[foggy steppe]

macro, birds, and people sniping

[acoustic lark]

definitely not a biased opinion whatsoever

[acoustic lark]

yes

[foggy steppe]

and you can actually park a car there

[night hound]

Can we shoot while roleblading?

[coral crescent]

I'm only interested in birds

See you lot there in 4 years

[foggy steppe]

you can gfx while roller blading, ive never managed to move forward on a pair

[night hound]

I haven't rollerskated since I was 10 :D

And I was pretty fucking bad

[coral crescent]

I've never rollarskated

Or skateboard for that matter

[night hound]

Oy. Sounds like an adventure awaiting us

[acoustic lark]

roller skating and roller blading are two v different things

we should go for it though

[coral crescent]

I'll stick to jumping

[foggy steppe]

ive very slowly skated across a flat road

[night hound]

LMAo I just saw this image in my head

[acoustic lark]

LOL

[night hound]

with you holding that big ass lens too

[coral crescent]

[night hound]

just gliding

[coral crescent]

Using the lens as balance

[acoustic lark]

dont trust myself on a moving platform with a camera. me and the camera would both break

[foggy steppe]

fuck yea skating with a giant lens

[coral crescent]

Idm if my camera breaks

[foggy steppe]

perfect balance

[static ruin]

What could possibly go wrong

[acoustic lark]

i was scrolling through instagram and i saw someone hammer a lens

it was... painful

[coral crescent]

If my cam breaks that just means I have to go 2 weeks without taking piccies and then get a 5dmk4

[night hound]

https://tenor.com/view/vasilikh-vasoof-roller-skates-fail-oops-gif-14353437

That's me

[acoustic lark]

[night hound]

[coral crescent]

Y'know the thing where the old lady is like "I've fallen and j can't get up"

[acoustic lark]

lmfao yes

[night hound]

Shit, they had that here in Australia, too?

I was in America when they showed those ads

[acoustic lark]

[coral crescent]

I can imagine fauxgie getting dragged with the ball

[night hound]

Oy, I wasn't bad

[coral crescent]

Just forgets to let go

And then we'd all wonder if we lost her again

[night hound]

Oy

[foggy steppe]

[coral crescent]

That's your fault not ours

[night hound]

[night hound]

[night hound]

Just fly on your own

[coral crescent]

Still like a grand

[night hound]

You are on.

[acoustic lark]

Oh shit I didn't realise it's almost 11 and I was pinging people

[acoustic lark]

but it's their own territory

[coral crescent]

Didn't think ACT was in NSW

[acoustic lark]

[coral crescent]

I thought it was in Victoria or sum shit

[acoustic lark]

ACT is a territory, but it's in the middle of NSW

[coral crescent]

Awwww. My husband let me sleep in even though I was suppose to take them to soccer. The he put some money in my account just in case I see something I want at the camera market.

[foggy steppe]

Pentax 67 tempting me

[night hound]

Leave me some cool stuff.

[fleet edge]

Good morning fellow asians

[coral crescent]

Lounge but Asian when

[acoustic lark]

Aus lounge will always be superior

Wildlife.

[coral crescent]

that would be a cool shot if you focused on the pelican eating the fish

[acoustic lark]

Yeah well it was taken on my phone

Wish I had a camera for these guys

They are funny when they eat

[coral crescent]

Very

suprised you even got that moment on phone lol

[acoustic lark]

Same tbh

I like this guy

[feral herald]

Go pet them :D

[acoustic lark]

Didn’t pat, only fed

[foggy steppe]

Aight Ive spent too much

Time to hear

Head

[fleet edge]

Jump in and join them

Become borb

[night hound]

Did you buy it??

[foggy steppe]

I did but refunded coz it was damaged

The guy offered me togo to his place tmr and get another one

[night hound]

Ohhh no that’s annoying.

I kinda spent too much, too.

[foggy steppe]

Holy shit you bought that lens lmfao

I was eyeing it in the morning

What a haul

I ended up buying a stack of film

[fleet edge]

0/10

No Leica M6 or M7

[fleet edge]

Time to lose a kidney

[foggy steppe]

lmao sounds fun

id probs rather just ebay a cla'd one at this point

there were some leica m2/3

[feral herald]

Omg it’s @night hound

[night hound]

I really should ahve gone earlier, too, but I just couldn't make it. I didnt think I was going to spend this much toda, though. oops.

[night hound]

omg it's Jan!

[foggy steppe]

we came across some interesting discounts in the 1st half hour

[night hound]

The market was better than I thought it would be.

[night hound]

ahhhhh shit

[foggy steppe]

but by the 2nd half hr to the 2nd hour it was all the same

a bunch of the mf stuff sold tho

[feral herald]

Hi

[night hound]

Noooo don't tell me that

[foggy steppe]

im still disappointed in the pentax 67 lol

def going to the december one

october cant make it tho

[night hound]

Yeah that sucks

Oh no, won't be able to make October, too.

[foggy steppe]

that sonnar you found is awesome tho, what hasselblad did you get?

[night hound]

Lol I don't even know

[foggy steppe]

lmfao just any hasselblad

[night hound]

It's one of the 2 mf lenses I got

I should check eh

[foggy steppe]

there was some really interesting gear besides the usual tho

underwater tlr, giant land cam, the fuji 6x9

lots of mamiya 6x7 and 645 cams

[static ruin]

Ah yes, accidently buying camera gear again, hate when that happens

[night hound]

Actually, it's another Carl Zeiss Sonnar, 150mm

hassie mount

bought it for $250

[foggy steppe]

Some guy gave me a roll of very expired ektachrome 120 if anyone wants it lmao

Oh good deal damn

[night hound]

yeah

[foggy steppe]

Was a nice market to haggle at lol

[night hound]

So now I have a 150mm and a 180

totally. I didn't expect it to have good deals

at all

I thought they were all goign to be as expensive as the place in glebe market

The sonnar one, though, the 180 with still the original leather box, is in mint condition so I'm happy with that

now. have to buy all these mounts.

[foggy steppe]

The Glebe guy had a stall there too, was the most overpriced stall lol

[night hound]

totally

[foggy steppe]

The 180 sonnar looks so good

All adaptable to gfx?

[night hound]

The Leica stall one, recognised me, too, cause I bought the olympus OM1 film and lenses from him.

[night hound]

Not all. But can on the xt5 :D

[foggy steppe]

Lol nice

[night hound]

Like shit. Bought a lens for $20

[foggy steppe]

Should be great on xt5

[night hound]

I should have come with you

and got more $20 lenses

Yeah, I was going to buy the pentax 55mm for $400.

[foggy steppe]

Most of the good morning deals were more like $300 from what I saw

[night hound]

But then I saw the sonnar 180

[foggy steppe]

Stuff like Nikkor 105mm and mamiya blue dot tlr lenses

Pretty niche stuff on discount

[night hound]

nnoooooooooo

Yeah, not much mamiya lenses at all

only saw a couple, but well overpriced

[foggy steppe]

I did see a few Pentax 55 and 300mm, and 1 105mm

All great but a bit pricey

[night hound]

Hadgreat chats with the old guys though. Such stories to tell!

[foggy steppe]

The $500 mamiya got bought within like 5 minutes right in front of me lol

Yeah, they were great to talk to, one guy swapped from mf film to daily driving a gfx lol

[night hound]

I think I bought my 645,wth 3 lenses, etc, etc, for $650 a few years ago
