Lounge but Australian

[night hound]

joining in the fun

[icy nymph]

lol

Who's shooting into the wall

[night hound]

Aha, you just gotta guess out of the 8 people who were there :D

[icy nymph]

I don't know who where there

hahaha

[icy nymph]

Got a list? I'll guess

[foggy steppe]

neither

[icy nymph]

No clue who went to the meet

[night hound]

There's actuallly a mixture of other photographers doing their own meet that day and we crossed 'lines'

[coral crescent]

It was a big fkin meet

Hosted by one of the camera shops here

[night hound]

like of all the days to do their meet....hmph.

[coral crescent]

Contemplated going to that one later but apparently they're shit

[night hound]

we were more important.

[coral crescent]

Giveaway thing as well

[night hound]

shit, if they were giving away important gear, we would have joined

[coral crescent]

It was just SD cards and some other random shit

Some tube lights as well iirc

[night hound]

lame

[coral crescent]

Although there was 1 drone

DJI smth

[night hound]

That's ok, we gave business to the other shop :D

[coral crescent]

It was funny watching them recognise you

Amazing people there though

[night hound]

yeah, they really are

[static ruin]

The better shop

Though I've not had issue with digidirect, I just go with whatever is cheapest... Which 90% of the time is just georges anyway

[errant linden]

back from my shower

[night hound]

I just think George's staff are so much nicer.

[coral crescent]

I haven't met the Digi ones

But the George's ones were very nice

[static ruin]

Can't say I've really spoken to them enough to know, everytime I go I basically know what I want so it's in and out in a minute

[coral crescent]

Replaced my bag as well when the tripod thing snapped

[static ruin]

Only time I spoke more to them was when I tried the z6 before buying

[night hound]

Digi are ok, but their online stock is kinda misleading

[errant linden]

can confirm georges cameras staff are rly nice

[coral crescent]

Great people

On both days I went

[night hound]

Hopefully, they've gotten enough money out of me this year.

prays my husband quietly

who is not religious

[icy nymph]

Naaaaa

HOLD ON

Was Punther at the meet

[night hound]

shhhhhh nooooooo

[night hound]

yup

[icy nymph]

Is that Punther

[night hound]

Not in that photo.

[icy nymph]

Aw

Damnit

[night hound]

That photo is reallly just a random I took of the street

[icy nymph]

Does he make puns constantly in real life?

[coral crescent]

A few

[icy nymph]

[acoustic lark]

I made more.

[icy nymph]

nice

[night hound]

true

[coral crescent]

I spent a lot of time talking about how I can't drive and going to uni there

Wait fauxgie did you finish that whole fish?

[night hound]

Sydney central business district is DEAD on sundays, so it was a good opportunity to take street photos

where there are hardlyl any people

[night hound]

ummm.....2/3ds only, sadly

[static ruin]

I make puns when the opportunity arises, even in person yes

[foggy steppe]

i think there are 6 people i know in that pic, wonder where the others are

[static ruin]

I just don't go out of my way and setup my own puns

[acoustic lark]

Wow

Amateur

[icy nymph]

Punther has to look like a person that makes puns

[coral crescent]

No that's a good thing, I would've been scared if you finished it all

[night hound]

I seriously was looking not at people, but at the street and buildings taking that photo

[coral crescent]

Behind fauxgie

[foggy steppe]

it is just funny everyones in it

[coral crescent]

Danky and Punther were behind her iirc

[foggy steppe]

ahh

also jesus this cam is high res

[coral crescent]

Gfx

Things

[night hound]

Hey, at least I was still in the vicinity of you people

[night hound]

That's a CROPPED version

[foggy steppe]

thats absurd

i was using a 20mp cam

[coral crescent]

Jesus

That's cropped??

[night hound]

get the gfx...pixel peep like me...

[icy nymph]

Fauxgie has a GFX as well?

[foggy steppe]

im enjoying pixel peeping on my medium format scans

[icy nymph]

Which one?

[static ruin]

Making me want a z7/z8

[foggy steppe]

r5ii when

[night hound]

yes

[coral crescent]

The gfx feels nice

Like really nice

[foggy steppe]

thats a fairly big crop too lol

[icy nymph]

What GFX is it?

[coral crescent]

Solid 60% crop

[night hound]

50s II

[icy nymph]

Neat

[night hound]

Oh god, and that's f/5??

I need to try wider beyond f/11

[foggy steppe]

i have noticed getting everything in focus on medium format is kinda a pain

for landscapes

[icy nymph]

Focus stack

3 shots at f/8

[static ruin]

Just becomes part of the normal work flow on mf from what I hear

[icy nymph]

Fore middle and back

[static ruin]

Heck even going from apsc to FF I noticed the difference and had to be a lot more careful of dof

[icy nymph]

Same for me

[static ruin]

f11 just sometimes isn't enough

[foggy steppe]

f11 on ff i find generally ok

[icy nymph]

Nope, but anything after gets you diffraction

[foggy steppe]

cant focus stack film

[icy nymph]

So have to stack imo

[night hound]

I've never focus stacked in my life

[static ruin]

I push to f14 sometimes, but that's just the advantage of having chonky pixels

[icy nymph]

I shot at f/11 on vacation

But i think i'm nearing diffraction

Sticking with f/8 from now on

[static ruin]

It would be on the z7 yes

[foggy steppe]

macro shooters meanwhile

[icy nymph]

Yeah

[night hound]

WAIT

[icy nymph]

It's not like the image is ruined

[night hound]

That's not the GFX

[icy nymph]

Hold on

[night hound]

It's the xt5

[foggy steppe]

oh lmao

xt5 res is also insane

[night hound]

yeah

[icy nymph]

@static ruin

It's not heat haze, and not motion blur either

Too localized for heat haze, and the rest is sharp so not motion blur

[night hound]

niiiceee

[icy nymph]

Any idea what that is?

It's not present in ALL pictures with this camera/lens combo so it's not a defect

Only in this series

[night hound]

Look at this nice burb

he's like, why aren't you shooting me?

[icy nymph]

Oystercatcher

The entire crop of that is @600mm

Just too far away haha

[icy nymph]

This one suffers from heat haze

I know this is heat haze

Huh, kinda looks similar, maybe that other image was heat haze after all

It was a very hot day

[night hound]

This is with the GFX

[static ruin]

No idea, only thing I can think of is still potentially heat, if you're at 600mm it's still entirely possible for it to show up on part of an image

[night hound]

That's f/11

[errant linden]

holy shit

thats cooked

[night hound]

That's film sim, haven't started editing it yet.

Probably wont except for crop

[static ruin]

I need more pickles

[foggy steppe]

whats with the cursed

bokeh?

[night hound]

movement?

1/125

[foggy steppe]

on the buildings too

only on the left side

everything past the traffic light is just doubled

[night hound]

huh, I haven't even looked until now

[foggy steppe]

yeah its just the entire left side and totally even down the frame

[night hound]

I looked at the raw just now, yeah, same as the jpeg

[foggy steppe]

thats really odd

nothing on the right too

[static ruin]

Tilt somewhere in the optical system of the lens

[night hound]

This is f/8

Haven't touched this one, either. not even crop (you can tell). This had the grad filter on it.

[foggy steppe]

grad filter looks real nice on this

[errant linden]

is that the pyrmont bridge?

[night hound]

uhhh...yes?

I don't know what it's called

The one in darling harbour

[static ruin]

Yeah can't see the issue there, atleast nothing obvious, strange

[night hound]

f/4.5

[errant linden]

ye thats the one

[foggy steppe]

no issues there but fuck me thats sharp

looking up the issue online people also have no clue

happens to people on a variety of random lenses and cameras and never consistently it seems

[night hound]

Weird, right? Cause it's all the same lens.

This is the kit lens.

[static ruin]

The 32-64 or whatever it was?

[foggy steppe]

yeah, youd expect it to happen on every image if a lens issue

[night hound]

35-70

[foggy steppe]

or at least every similar aperture

[static ruin]

Yeah I'm at a loss lol

[foggy steppe]

shutter bounce but that doesnt happen on gfx lol

no clue either

[night hound]

Found one more - f/11 indoor. Don't know why I kept wanting to see the photos at f/11 so tested it on indoor shot.

[timber spruce]

gfx?

[night hound]

yup

other gfx photos above

[timber spruce]

pog

[night hound]

we were pixel peeping

[timber spruce]

Hey i can tell that cool ass hat anywhere

[night hound]

She IS cool.

[acoustic lark]

AWW THANK YOU

[timber spruce]

a fooj would've made that outfit 10x better

[coral crescent]

Why the hell are we still up

[acoustic lark]

Because sleep is for the weak

[coral crescent]

It's fkin 11:50 for you lot

[acoustic lark]

[coral crescent]

Night you lot

[night hound]

night kids

[acoustic lark]

Night oliveeee

[coral crescent]

[timber spruce]

you reminds me of my teacher, they always said "how can someone respect u if you don't have self respect" then proceeds to make fun of the new gen for the rest of the year

[acoustic lark]

I need no one’s respect. Simple as that.

But yes, teachers like that are annoying

[timber spruce]

i need a bullet in the head :D

[night hound]

Oi

You know what Im going to say....

[timber spruce]

and i will ignore it

like a bad person

[night hound]

Come here so I can pull your hair.

[timber spruce]

i don't have hair anymore

[night hound]

Then fucking grow it

[timber spruce]

can't

i look like a 45 year old pedo. i can't grow hair

[night hound]

Then come here so I can put one of Augie's wig on you so I can pull on it.

[timber spruce]

no

i can't afford to come there

even if i sold everything i own

[night hound]

You just wait until I win the lottery.....

Imma buy the gaddamn ticket so I can pull your hair

[timber spruce]

well tbf your chances of winning that are higher than me getting laid

[errant linden]

99% of gamblers quit before they win big

[night hound]

Seems we need to talk to you about gambling addiction...

Come here so I can pull your hair.

[errant linden]

[night hound]

https://tenor.com/view/pulling-hair-funny-comedy-fun-angry-gif-22321962

[timber spruce]

i wonder if your husband is bald

[night hound]

totallly.

When was the last time you've seen a Dutch with lots of hair?

[timber spruce]

well

i've seen some ladies

[night hound]

there we go

Real Augie did not have hair until she was 4, the poor dear

[timber spruce]

my lil sis had hair since the day she was born

[night hound]

I can imagine.

[timber spruce]

lol

i was actually blond as a kid

until like 6 year old actually

[icy nymph]

We got caught in 4k

They stole perry the platupus' hat

[timber spruce]

no

she is perry the platupus'

[icy nymph]

[night hound]

Damn, that's pretty sharp cropped.

Who needs a telephoto lens

[timber spruce]

lol

mama do you have a 110mm f2?

[night hound]

Not yet, son. Waiting for you when you get here so I can sell your kidneys with mine.

[foggy steppe]

Pentax 105 f2.4 when

[night hound]

When we get lucky on our next meet

[acoustic lark]

A bird photographer?
PERRY THE BIRD PHOTOGRAPHER?

[foggy steppe]

I've seen it reviewed as amazing on the gfx

Esp with focal reducer

[night hound]

The pentacon 180 2.8 is going to be interesting (I hope)

[night hound]

Ohhh that's an idea

[icy nymph]

You get lucky, the person you rob less so

[foggy steppe]

All the sample photos I've seen look incredible

[night hound]

There's certain streets where you just stand in Sydney and they gladly give you money.....if you just bend over really slowly....

[foggy steppe]

It's one of the 2 remaining 67 lenses of my wishlist

[night hound]

I mean REALLY slowly.

[night hound]

holy fuck. You can open a stall....

[foggy steppe]

I don't have em all but I do have 4 of them that cover most fl lol

[icy nymph]

Business venture

[foggy steppe]

4 of the better ones

[night hound]

I should make a list myself.

I suck at making lists (which means I don't make them)

[icy nymph]

Want to make list
Hate lists
Dont make list

Just made a list

[foggy steppe]

I use the 55, 135 macro, 200, 300, keen on the 105 and 150 too

[night hound]

I just hyperfixate on shit I want till I get them or move on to the next gas

[icy nymph]

This is the way

[night hound]

This is the way

[icy nymph]

@night hound Was the person wearing Perry's hat the spawnchild lol?

[night hound]

Nope, that's Angie, an unspawned one.

[icy nymph]

Ahh

@acoustic lark Nice hat.

[night hound]

My spawn didn't make it cause she was sick.

[acoustic lark]

Thank you, it’s not mine

[icy nymph]

Wrong Angie

[timber spruce]

If i come there you can sell every organ I've including balls those get sold for a lot

[icy nymph]

[acoustic lark]

Wdym wrong Angie

[icy nymph]

Wait it is you, but it's not your hat?

[acoustic lark]

[fleet edge]

I bet your teachers love you!

Model student!

[errant linden]

The teachers love me

Im a very good student

😏

[acoustic lark]

To some degree

[fleet edge]

Damn, breakups suck

[fleet edge]

Sow carrot seeds on the school oval

[errant linden]

😔

[fleet edge]

It would be hilarious

[acoustic lark]

You say that like you have experience

[fleet edge]

Shh

It's fine

[serene ibex]

[fleet edge]

Lotta kids around :P

Next meet is going to be photography daycare

[gentle wind]

Give me 3.5 hours

[gentle wind]

[night hound]

I'm coming over rnow

[gentle wind]

;)

[night hound]

Damn you child

[gentle wind]

Today is so boring

Sat in japanese did nothing.

will sit in science and do nothing

then will sit in english and do nothing

proceeded with PDM and doing nothing

[fleet edge]

Read fanfics

[gentle wind]

oh god

[night hound]

Go and downvote all the car photos in galleries.

[gentle wind]

okay

[errant linden]

[lost perch]

i support this

[acoustic lark]

See you gave me that suggestion as I was in a class with my Principal teaching us, so I cracked up laughing and she just looked at me weirdly

[fleet edge]

Just tell her you were flirting with her daughter

Ez solution

[willow rivet]

I flirt with someone's daughter all the time

[acoustic lark]

LOL

[lost perch]

[willow rivet]

Heyyyyyyyy

Shit can't read thought you were fauxgie

[acoustic lark]

Wow rude don’t even wanna say hi to me

[willow rivet]

I'll say hi to you hey with varying amounts of ys is reserved for flirting

[fleet edge]

Smh flirting with a high school kid

Reqy going low

[willow rivet]

No I'm not thats why I'm after fauxgie

[lost perch]

[night hound]

I have recurring dreams that I didn't finish high school and had to go back, so this may be the best of both worlds if it turns out this is true (cause damn it, I never picked up my high school diploma when I graduated).

[willow rivet]

Ah shit with no diploma you are a highschool student

I'm hitting on a highschooler

[night hound]

I'll try to graduate in the next 5 years.

Wait. I can just go to real Augie's school and taunt her.

Fucking ace.

[lost perch]

[willow rivet]

Finally skipping the diploma pays off

Go sit next to her in the cafeteria

[gentle wind]

i’d rather that than sitting in english doing nothing reading shakespeare

[night hound]

Which shakespeare are you reading?

Have you 'accidentally' told the class the ending to Romeo and Juliet?

Just tell your teacher you guys shouldn't be reading books with teenagers having sex in it.

Or incestual emos.

[fleet edge]

Teenagers having sex? Preposterous

[gentle wind]

No the teacher did that for us the rest of the class is studying this shit without ever having read the full thing lol

Going to see a play of it next week apparently tho

[night hound]

@woeful belfry really need to be here.

[woeful belfry]

awww ... g'day cobber

[fleet edge]

More Australian?

[night hound]

Yup. And Melbourne-based so we have someone to bug when we do our cross-country photo meet up down in VIC

[woeful belfry]

Melburn representative confirmed.

[night hound]

With good music taste

and good audio

And hopefully, a huge garage for us to crash in :D

[fleet edge]

But can they fit our billion cameras we're gonna being

[woeful belfry]

I do have a tasty sound setup. That's objectively correct. The taste thing is more subjective ... but I'm glad you reckon it's awesome ... cos I sure do

[fleet edge]

I can bring my headphone collection:P

[woeful belfry]

We need a skip to clear out our garage. It hs an inordinate amount of crap in it

[fleet edge]

Jk, my focals broke and they were my best

Am angry

Silly french

That's the last time I trust the french

[night hound]

No need for headphones. Cause we need the music cranked up for the garage party

[fleet edge]

My ad1200pro also just stopped working

I need to call Georges

[night hound]

Ah shoot, you just reminded me to buy headphones for the plane

[woeful belfry]

I have 4 pairs of headphones ... no, 5. Ones that I care about anyway. There's bound to be less excellent older ones amonst my boxes of random shit

[elder sphinx]

Canon camahahs aunt bloody wawrkin too roight, mate.

[night hound]

Yar Aussie?

[elder sphinx]

No

LOL

[fleet edge]

I only have 3 working ones

4 if you include my broken focals :(((

[elder sphinx]

I just saw this and decided to say something stupid

[woeful belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f48fpoSEPU

[night hound]

Tsk. Second rate citizen. It's ok. You are welcome to try and assimiliate with us to learn how to be awesome.

[errant linden]

🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🔥 🔥

[elder sphinx]

Lmao

[fleet edge]

Maybe another meet at the end of the year hey?

[errant linden]

😏 🤝

[fleet edge]

Might have enough of us to do a Sydney and Melbourne one

So people don't have to travel

[night hound]

December

[fleet edge]

Be prepared for lots of gear

[night hound]

BlOlive apparently will be here, maybe. And Iona will definitely be here.

[fleet edge]

Also, I'm smaller than you think

[errant linden]

I have 4 lenses and 1 camera

[night hound]

@woeful belfry Come to Sydney for car, seagulls photo shoots and bowling.

[woeful belfry]

if you stand closer to people you will appear bigger

[errant linden]

Ill pullup for sure

[fleet edge]

I'll indoctrinate you into using Canon

Most of us at the meet have a Canon :P

[errant linden]

neekon

[woeful belfry]

I've ticked seagull off my bingo card ... but it's a possibility still

[foggy steppe]

Buy more

[fleet edge]

Gull

[night hound]

Oh shit, beach photo meet in December - Australian summer, ya'll!

[woeful belfry]

I am Nikon.

[foggy steppe]

I have 3 cameras and 9 lenses at my apartment alone

[errant linden]

[fleet edge]

We don't have a Sony user yet (thank god)

[gentle wind]

Hell nah I ain’t getting a camera within 1km of sand

[errant linden]

I need to get a job

[foggy steppe]

People get excited over Australian summer??

[night hound]

Stop judgling me, Bird.

[fleet edge]

If we ever gain a Sony user to the group they're gonna be endlessly bullied

[woeful belfry]

I have a delightful pic somwhere of a seagull almost dying from the massive piece of bread it's put donw its gullet.

[errant linden]

I hate sonys but only because the only guy I know who has a sony is a dick

[fleet edge]

Okay but unironically most Australian Sony users I've met in the wild have been dicks

Idk why

Maybe they drank the north borders koolaid

[woeful belfry]

then how do you do epic beach sunset photos?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[foggy steppe]

The only Sony user I know irl is one of my best friends

The assholes are the Leica users

[errant linden]

an anomoly

[gentle wind]

i don’t LOL

[fleet edge]

Leica users being unfriendly?

Impossible

[gentle wind]

i don’t know any sony ppl

thank god

all my photog friends are either fooj or canon

[night hound]

I do know Sony users, Aussie ones, too :D. But they're actually pros and damn nice

[woeful belfry]

They don't Leica you ?

[night hound]

@static ruin Someone is trying to steal your job.

[fleet edge]

One day, I'll take a photo I love

Might take me another 10 years of shooting

[errant linden]

yeah havent gotten a photo Ive truly loved yet

[gentle wind]

One day I’ll take a photo that impresses @night hound

[night hound]

The photos I have taken I love are not perfectly shot ones, but rather, personal snaps of Augie.

[fleet edge]

I constantly compare myself to my photography idols

[night hound]

Pssshhhhhh

[gentle wind]

You just like them cause I was cute

[fleet edge]

Since I'm not as good as them, all my photos are shithouse

[night hound]

WERE cute.

[fleet edge]

Asian babies are so cute tho

Chubby cheeks

[gentle wind]

Was is the right past tense in that sentence

[woeful belfry]

I'm only 6 months into shooting. I've defs got shots I like, but I figured recently that there isn't one I want to get printed and framed for the wall ... so I haven't made a truly awesome shot just yet

[gentle wind]

Half asian baby is pretty cute tbh

[night hound]

You was the reference to the were.

[errant linden]

😏

[night hound]

Can I show your baby photo:???????

[fleet edge]

Give it a few decades :P

[timber spruce]

I already did, no one else likes it tho

[fleet edge]

@quaint comet

[timber spruce]

Oh no

[foggy steppe]

I have one or two photos I like but I look at them and only see flaws nowadays lol

[night hound]

That damn child ran away again

[timber spruce]

Good thing

[woeful belfry]

I ain't got time. I'm old. I'll be dead soon. Need to git good ASAP otherwise I'll have no legacy

[errant linden]

[gentle wind]

Yeah i’m tryna find them lol i have too many photos

[fleet edge]

How old are you?

[woeful belfry]

[woeful belfry]

Old enough to have to do maths to remember how old I am

Born in 74

August

You do the maths

[gentle wind]

Old

[woeful belfry]

I'm 48 now. 49 soon

[timber spruce]

Young

[timber spruce]

[woeful belfry]

[timber spruce]

Smoll

[night hound]

Yeah ❤️

[gentle wind]

Why was I doing duck lips at age 3

[timber spruce]

Idk ask mom

[woeful belfry]

[night hound]

[night hound]

Maybe I should have submitted this in last week's contest...

[woeful belfry]

[night hound]

Augie at age 5, (ignore the chopped crop of my watermark) - this is all screenshoted cause I can't be bothered looking for photos in hard drive.

[gentle wind]

Baby selfie

Omg it has Rankin Roger in it. 🙏

[woeful belfry]

Not that track .. he's elsewhere on the album.

[night hound]

Right! I'm going to go ahead and look for the album later after school pick up.

I knew Roger in the early 90's. Sigh.

[woeful belfry]

[night hound]

Share! I will listen later when I come back!

[woeful belfry]

[night hound]

Yo Gabba Gabba was just the best, though. And Little Einstein. For the music factor

[woeful belfry]

@night hound are you ancient enough to know Wurzel Gummidge ?

[fleet edge]

Hermit is blonde and blue eyes, and white as hell. We've joked that if we have a kid it'll just be a normal Asian baby with how hard their genes will be overridden XD

[gentle wind]

[errant linden]

[fleet edge]

Imagine being allowed to watch much TV as a kid

[night hound]

Fireman fucking Sam

[night hound]

It's actuallly really good

You guys are too old by the time it started

[errant linden]

[night hound]

I just wish The Wiggles show would jus die now though

I used to say the tv was broken when Augie wanted to watch it

[coral crescent]

@gentle wind are you gonna stand for this

[gentle wind]

[coral crescent]

Iggle piggle was the best

Shame how makka Pakka died

[night hound]

wait what?

What do you mean he died?

Imma google this shit

[coral crescent]

Google it

[night hound]

Oh lolllll

The lore

[coral crescent]

He died doing what he loved

Well the first google search says he died of heroin overdose

[coral crescent]

Yep, iggle piggle doing coke as always

This shit is interesting though

Might have too look into it

[night hound]

You know, there were a lot of young adults that loved watching this show while being high

[errant linden]

[coral crescent]

They probably were on copium

[errant linden]

harbor bridge lookin mad at night

[coral crescent]

[errant linden]

discord makes it oversatured asf idk why

[static ruin]

Even the original is saturated, it ain't discord

[foggy steppe]

long exposure at night does tend to get very saturated

thats a bit extreme tho

[errant linden]

im fixing it rn

[coral crescent]

Complete opposite in my experience

They always seem a tad desaturated

[foggy steppe]

depends on subject

trees for eg and water at certain times

[errant linden]

[foggy steppe]

thats from opera house right

[errant linden]

its the road above circular quay station

[foggy steppe]

ah the bridge

similar

[errant linden]

this spot

[foggy steppe]

yeah been there a few times

its nice

[errant linden]

the pic was from a while ago, I need to start shooting other stuff

[foggy steppe]

made this monstrosity from there

[errant linden]

idk if I like the orange teal or not

I think I like it

[foggy steppe]

the orange teal is not the version i have actually saved lmfao

im pretty sure it was to make fun of someone

long time ago now

[errant linden]

used to own a fisheye made this abomination on my old D5000

[static ruin]

As much as I complain about urban, I should actually take the tripod one night and play around properly in Sydney with the camera at night

Only night photography I've done there is during vivid, which is a shit show

[errant linden]

honestly tell me about it

[foggy steppe]

its a lot of fun

excluding vivid

vivid is the shittest time

[errant linden]

I honestly dont get paying like what $20-40 for a lit up tunnel

I get theres other stuff there but still

[static ruin]

I didn't go this year for Vivid

I did hear about the price for that tunnel though, was like wtf

[errant linden]

A group of classmates went but never told me

[static ruin]

and even Botanical gardens cost $$ to visit... A lot of families can't afford some of that, vivid is supposed to be something for families

[errant linden]

they invited the new guy and I saw it on his insta

[errant linden]

yeah honestly thats shit

[foggy steppe]

vivid is just overcrowded and mediocre even if you afford it

[night hound]

Never went to vivid.

[static ruin]

Yeah is why I didn't bother this year

[night hound]

Ican't stnd crowds

[static ruin]

Last year I went with Danky, it was the blind leading the blind for photography

[errant linden]

alr so we can all collectively agree vivid sucks

[static ruin]

Yes

[foggy steppe]

yep

[night hound]

aye aye

[woeful belfry]

This from earlier this year when I didn't know what I was doing and only had a shitty lens ... but it's peak Brisbane bridge

[errant linden]

ooh nice

[woeful belfry]

I got some decent pics on that trip despite still being pretty green

[foggy steppe]

Story bridge, nice

[jolly prism]

The worst dicks i know have: 1200d, 4000d, 2000d, 100d, 750d etc

Overall these newer three or four digit canons

[fleet edge]

I only ever see teen girls and 40+ women with these

[static ruin]

Thank god the 700d wasn't mentioned in that list

[fleet edge]

Smh

Grown man with a 700D

[foggy steppe]

600d and 550d meanwhile

[jolly prism]

I see mostly like 16yo teen boys who are complete dicks w them

[errant linden]

woah @jolly prism is australian?

[jolly prism]

No

But austria is near

[errant linden]

😔 🇦🇺

[jolly prism]

Not Australia tho

[errant linden]

one guy with a canon, cant remember what, at a meet went into my bag and took out my dust blower to blow his lens

never talked to him before hand or nothing

[jolly prism]

Wtf

The biggest dick i ever knew has 100D

[static ruin]

Canon users smh

[errant linden]

Ok the actual biggest dickhead I now so far had a ferrari F40

[jolly prism]

xDD

[foggy steppe]

so sounds like car people are the dicks

[errant linden]

I was like 12 and I asked him how much it costs and he said "you should never ask a supercar owner how much his car costs" shook his head and all his friends quietly laughed at me

bro I was traumatised 😭

[jolly prism]

True

The 100d dude is car guy

But i am too kinda ngl xdd

[fleet edge]

Smh car photographers

[jolly prism]

[jolly prism]

Yo

Those film photos are nice

[errant linden]

😘 😘

[foggy steppe]

you shoot film ben? what cam

[errant linden]

depends on what photos your talking about

My legit film photos are off a 1shot disposable camera

my other film photos are just edited, I used the flash and super high ISO for grain

[foggy steppe]

oh disposable cams

pretty fun those

[errant linden]

this camera

@jolly prism how do you do rates for shoots and stuff

😔

[jolly prism]

Pretty good i like it

[errant linden]

tell me your seekrets

[night hound]

alright, children. Well done with the car photos. That was a lot of fun.

Now our next *photo assignment is*: ** Kitchen**.

The idea is for us to get to know each other a little bit more by way of just sharing a snippet of our lives via photo. So this week, let's just take a photo of something in our kitchen that will give us an inkling of our daily culinary lives, whether sharing something we love to eat, cook with, the kitchen bench mess we live with, etc.

Just thought since this is a photography server, this would be a fun way to know each other and use the wretched gadgets we all have.

It doesn't have to be your masterpiece. This is just for fun :)

Happy shooting!

[jolly prism]

Aussies hosting their own contests

[night hound]

It's not a contest.

[jolly prism]

Aussies still taking over this discord anyways

[night hound]

We can't help being superior.

[errant linden]

@jolly prism

[coral crescent]

I remember Heinz used to do these

That was a long time ago

[woeful belfry]

I already have an idea for this

what's the time frame on this?

and where do we post?

[night hound]

hmmmm... maybe a week? And we can just post here I reckon.

This is just for us having fun, getting to know each other.

Or if you want, you can post in the galleries and just post the message link here.

[night hound]

Maybe I'M Heinz....

Guten abend.

[foggy steppe]

This sounds like fun

[night hound]

I just remembered I can pin here now so I pinned it for reference!

[coral crescent]

[woeful belfry]

I'm gonna need to wait for some flattering light in the kitchen ... then take a photo of something ugly

[errant linden]

[foggy steppe]

I have a great idea

Dunno if I'll be able to do it in just a week

[night hound]

It doesn't have to be in a week.

[foggy steppe]

I'll try for a week anywaya

[coral crescent]

If I remember I'll shoot something

Might be a decent chance to play with my Sydney preset I made recently as well

[fleet edge]

Is it teal and orange

[coral crescent]

[foggy steppe]

teal and orange food lets go

[night hound]

Extra points for Teal and Orange

[coral crescent]

Who said anything about food

[errant linden]

Yo

[night hound]

Mama

[coral crescent]

Paid photography apprenticeship secured

[errant linden]

lucky bastard

[foggy steppe]

Grats

[coral crescent]

I know

[night hound]

Well done ❤️

[errant linden]

Going to a rally in batemans bay on sat should be fun shooting

[coral crescent]

The story behind it is funny

So I had an awards ceremony at school today and me being me won an award. And while I'm sitting with my mates in the area where everyone who got an award was sitting I saw a white lens out of the corner of my eye

Turns out the school hired a new media manager/photographer

[static ruin]

Was it a 70-200?

[coral crescent]

Yes

[static ruin]

Nice

[coral crescent]

Sony 70-200 GM1

[static ruin]

I like this photographer already

[coral crescent]

I fkin knew it as well

So I ask him, is that a 70-200 gm1 and then we start talking for a bit

And then I gave him my website and we sat down and talked after the ceremony for a bit and boom I got offered the apprenticeship

[static ruin]

Oh nice

[foggy steppe]

thats a funny way to get one

nice work

[coral crescent]

It really was funny

Basically he's having trouble with the amount of shoot that the schools needs

So I'll probably just end up doing all the editing for it

[night hound]

Nice

[coral crescent]

It's really easy editing, just portraiture etc

[static ruin]

Just push all the sliders to the max

[coral crescent]

Fine tuning details but I'll probably get paid between 50-70 a shoot

Which for an hour or so of editing is a fkin good deal

[static ruin]

If it's an hour or even 2, that's pretty good

[coral crescent]

That's per shoot as well, so it's not an hourly rate

I prefer it over an hourly rate tbh

The best part of this is it'll be a nice thing to have on the uni application

[foggy steppe]

the school needs that much shooting?

the fuck kinda school lol

[foggy steppe]

thats very good

tho unis probs wont care unless youre applying for arts

[coral crescent]

Eh I just wanna slap it on there anyway

Make it sound all fancy

[coral crescent]

There's just been a bunch of events recently

[foggy steppe]

you can shoot events for the uni at some unis

thats always interesting

[coral crescent]

I might try that out here

[foggy steppe]

one of my friends does it on 6x6 film

[foggy steppe]

ahh i see

[woeful belfry]

I didn't take art in high school but someone found myself in the darkroom quite often with those that were. Somewhere in my faded memory banks is the ability to totally develop a roll of film and then make prints.

I'd forgotten about that.

[errant linden]

@night hound I took your advice on how cars should be moving

[fleet edge]

They shouldn't be moving sideways

[willow rivet]

fuck hes married i see the ring

[night hound]

Oh yeah, married.

Next!

[errant linden]

[cobalt blade]

what does "shouldn't be moving sideways" mean lol

that's just a normal roller shot of a car

[fleet edge]

You got some problems if your car is moving sideways

Cars aren't supposed to do that

[cobalt blade]

[willow rivet]

I think I'll go to George's camera today and talk to camera bags.
