lazerin Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi Skykid, I do a little bit just for fun. You can check out my (extremely outdated) gallery at http://www.kianlim.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Just starting to get into it with a camera I've had for about a year, the Panasonic Lumix DMFZ-50. Great camera for a beginner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skykid Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Slartibartfast: Nothing specific at all I was just woundering.... Hmmm.. How come I didn't see photo gallery earlyer... Lazerin: DUDE!!! Those are pretty damn mean! Brett: Not a bad camera. I got myself a pentax p30t to strat out with. Its a fairly old slr camera but its a good one.:big_grin: Thanks H :yin_yan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Show us yours Skykid [ great name ] put some of your photos up on site. Well show you ours if you show us yours:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Lazerin, like your cricket do you. Lovely photos mate, well balanced, and the mixture of B & W plus coloured areas, brilliant. I always though b/w make the most defined images. They seem to be more crisp and alive than colour. Seems to me that our photo gallery has always been aviation orientated whereas what Skykid is referring to is general/semi professional photography of everyday things and scenes.

lazerin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks guys, glad you liked them. Doug, I do enjoy a bit of cricket every now and then, it's a shame we lost the series to RSA, but they batted quite well (i'm hoping we bowl them out in this next period after the tea break...come on!!!). B&W is always a bit tricky for me. I often have difficulty picking the right subjects for B&W, but I definitely agree that there is a certain elegance and "pop" about them that makes them more defined. What I'd really like to get into, now that I've started flying, is aerial and air to air photography. There's potential for some awesome eye candy sunset/sunrise shots. Skykid, please do share some of your shots! I'm using a Fujifilm s6500fd (too poor to afford a DSLR ). I'm pretty happy with it though, "decent" lens for a superzoom (28-300mm) and full manual controls. It's no DSLR but it'll do for now. My personal favourite shot is: 10 Second Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Lovely shot lazerin very talented indeed. Interesting to see photography come up on the forum as a lot of pilots and non pilots like taking photos of planes but I love travel photography apart from flying. Not such a good photographer as you but love getting a good result, a lot of satisfaction in that. See some "travel" photos below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazerin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Skydog, those are some very unique aircraft! What are they in shots 1,2 and 4? And is 4 an accident? #1 is my fav as well :thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 accident Yeah accidental plane , I think number 4 flys backwards as well . Actually Rutan aircraft and the varieze in particular was the plane that got me back into aviation and I love them however they are a little different and perhaps not so practical for Ozzie conditions. Phil Hefferanan out of Mangalore took me for a flight and it appealed to my sense of whatever that it could fly as fast as a Fokker friendship but using about 1000th of the fuel of course. Saw lots of them at Oshkosh canard heaven. Number one I am sure you know what that is and you are giving slarti a hard time, yes? [Morgan Cheetah] # 2 is the lovely polished aluminium Hummelbird. #3 is the Morgan Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Maybe he wasn't joking. It's my baby Lazerin. More photos here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skykid Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'll try but all of mine are from a slr camer I'll have to get some on a disk. I'll put some ones I took with a not so great Dcamera. Just remember I've got ALOT ALOT ALOT better photos than these Skydog: (even better name:big_grin:) love the photos. the first is the best in my mind. I got one like your second photo. Doug: Yeah I love my aircraft photography but I was meaning more along the lines of general/semi professional photography. But all is good. Oh good site for aviation photography is www.airliners.net if anyone is interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skykid Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Didn't work last time sorry. But here are. Remember I have ALOT BETTER ONES that ant from a Dcamera. Gives me a reason to get them on to a disk now:cool:. Thanks H :yin_yan: P.S The chick in the photo is my little sister. Normaly hates cameras but was lucky enought to get this shot of her. P.P.S I got two other photos in golden oldies in another post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Here's a couple of mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazerin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Skydog, alas, I wasn't joking, I didn't know! That's a sweet ride slartibartfast *drool*. The fighter jet HOTAS controls are awesome hehe. Skykid, I understand it must be annoying to try and get prints onto digital format. You probably lose a bit of colour and contrast with scanning as well, unless it was a photo scanner thingy. I'm a fan of airliners as well :thumb_up: Brett, that's very lucky that you get to be where the air race is!! Must be a great sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 A couple of real photo's (eat your hearts out lads, she's mine, known her for years) and a couple copied from photographs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 These would have to be a couple of my favourite aerials from over our backyard in the CT ... late arvo flights are just magic. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have been taking photos for over 50 years and moved over to digital a couple of years ago. It is much cheaper and I had got to the stage where I couldn't afford the cost of chemicals and paper, so the darkroom sits idle. I havn't posted much on this forum, but I have posted on Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing under the name of yen36. It is a good site to see all sorts of photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skykid Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Brett: Nice man. I wish I could of gone to the air race's!! I really like your third and forth photo. Doug: What type of car is that if you don't mind getting off topic for a tad. Paul: I argee man. I find the best time to take photos is realy morning and dusk. \ Great photos everybody :thumb_up::big_grin: Thanks H :yin_yan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
