aaron : thx

logic : yep, just beside uwa. are u in uwa as well?

alright thx wildpiew... btw guys, if i am standing in a shade and i'm shooting something out in the sun, what should i do? i know i can move into the sun, but what if i wanna stand where i am? any particular settings i can follow?

logic : which fac were u in? now working where?

femi : it just approached me.. walked nearer and nearer until i shoo'ed it away with my foot XD plenty of them seagulls by the river. lots of green and gray/pink parakeets too, just that my fav spot was taken and i had no where to sit. gonna take some pics of some peacocks soon, there're like 5-7 free roaming peacocks in my uni

the EF100 f/2.8 lens. took quite a few shots but discarded all cos it was too plain

went to uni for a photoshoot. wasted 1.5 hours there, and when i came home, realized that the 100 pics i took were gone!!!! i think i changed the lens once or twice while i still had the cam on is that the reason of the lost data? will my camera be spoilt?

ok, i think it was faulty connection or something. i took the cf out, on'ed it again, connection deteceted, YAY, pics still there will post updates later

<3 rad.. get ur ass onto msn

took some time off today to snap some shots at the uni since its a sunday and there's not many ppl around

rad : thx, still trying to get used to the cam and still pretty shy of having ppl look at u one kind so still dare not really go for all the angles i like, or at the angles that i like there's something blocking the standing space.. architecture + landscape is what i love about photography more so compared to macro + portraits.

aegis : yes indeed.. perth is VERY beautiful u comin here for studies or?

KVR : what assignment? if u need i can send u the raws if u want

rad : yeah, stayed at the same spot for 1hour +, stood there, snap some, read a book, snap, read book 3 singaporean girls and 2 jap chicks came up and asked me to help them snap pics good hunting grounds XD problem is the place is blocked by the shrubbery growth behind the railings, so i had to place my tripod on the railing itself, which is less than 20cm wide, so the tripod aint that steady resulting in the night images being blur btw, update ur gallery la u lazy boi

wild : thanks, will try to snap some more night ones when possible, need a place that i can actually place the tripod tho =/

dunno.. maybe cos i used f/2.8? or maybe cos its too dark already when i took it ? well, regardless, its a pain in the a** to take macros outdoor now, have to stand directly in front of the subject so composition is completely screwed, cos if i dont, the wind thats blowing non stop would sway them

rad : hard ler.. macro shots once the wind come then mampus d, sway abit also blurr d wad.. tried going up to f/5, but the shutter had to be real slow, and even if i move a lil it'll be blur d

clemong : yeah im in uwa as well. u could ask ur parents to travel up north if they have the time, to kalbarri and monkey mia to look at the gorges and feed the dolphins. heard it's really beautiful there, but downside is that u have to drive about 600km to reach it. in the vicinity of the city there's nth much to do ler, just some uninteresting sight seeing nia =/
