very deep contrast in the b&w pics. PP'ed much eh?

Yeap. It's very unfortunate that i know shit about film. But my idea is that since backgrounds and clothing are mostly darker than faces, by creating a stark contrast between the subject, clothing and environment, it makes you focus on 2 things in general, the face and the action at hand.

I also use the contrast to blur out details with oversaturation of black or white, because i want people to look at the pic, not the pixels.

Being very honest with anyone i'll say i still suck at PP lol.

My probable entry for the BHP Billiton competition with an "Outback" theme, although if you ask me it's a little boring...will try harder to get a few good shots worth sending in aside from this one.

Visited Brisbane for a shortwhile today. Did some shooting near the ANZAC monument and Adelaide Street.

Tried Dragging the shutter on this one, but the lady wouldn't stay still long enough. Anyone good in PP is welcome to help me bring out the trails of the moving people smile.gif

Took my camera to Friday prayers (where don't i take the damned thing lol)

I call this picture, Faith. As a Muslim one must believe that the Quran is the ultimate source of guidance for life, in a way, Nur, or light, so i tried to give the light coming through the windows more weightage and made the rays more obvious to pass along the message better.

I haven't shot in a long time, but here's some new pics i just took on my East Australian 4000 km road trip lol.

Best part? Downgrading from 1Ds Mark III kit to Nikon D60 with kitlense.

Taken on the New England Highway. My car, "Parrot Killer", named due to fact that i hit a whole family of the flying beasts with 2 getting lodged in the Radiator and 1 in my Intercooler, the rest were turned into tyre paste lol. Engine bay was also filled with feathers. Car Survived fine, birds didn't.
