I had my first go today.. I agree with Clicking Mad - Just start taking some pics. I like this one but dont think its clever enough. It did give me some ideas of another shots to do. Surprise surprise I used my dog! I like to call it .. Tax Time

Very nice Kirislin! Lovely shots. I have lense envy

Finally I have a pic of Charch and I. Being the one behind the camera I never get photos with me in them! A friend took this on the weekend.

Thanks BT! I had to get under the stairs and sit with a stinky fisherman for that one! Nows theres dedication

Thanks JS! I used lightroom. For the 1st one - from memory I changed it to 'aged photo', changed the exposure and added some black and some vignette. Im still learning so I love that you liked it! I actually thought of you when I was snapping at randoms in the street. After seeing your street photography thread I have been trying to get the courage to get up close to people for a good shot.

Finally I got off my behind and attempted some landscape shots. Not my favorite type of photography but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would! St Kilda fisherman St Kilda pier Sunbaking in St Kilda. It was a toasty 21 degrees!

You dont need to ask me twice ;) A couple from yesterday..

Just gorgeous! I love those ears.

Great pics PB! I especially love the first one. Just gorgeous! Bout time Bellatrix! Congrats! Cant wait to see your photos

What a handsome boy! I agree, that first photo is just gorgeous.

Surely your ready for some procrastinating??

So true. It definatey swayed my decision. I am having so much fun with it. Now if only all the other lenses were as cheap!

Well it seems im the only one who is putting their pics in here so here's another! Loving this lense to bits!

I just walked past the Camera House and went back to have a peek at one. I just stared at it through the glass. A guy came up and asked if he could help me. Unfortunately I had to say no thankyou ..:D

I love that first one newfsie! Hey Bellatrix are you stalking me now?

W.O.W That is beautiful. I am such a bloody sook. I dont even know them and it made me tear up

Oh its so perdy!! Lucky lady!! Is this the one that takes video also? A friend showed me photos that a mate of hers took. They were still shots taken from a video. I think it was the 5d. They were brilliant.

Great first attempts Ravyk and Bellatrix!! I havent tried this yet. In fact I havent done a thing yet! Going to have a play over the weekend.

Yup sure can! It is mentioned in the little booklet

I wont be telling my mate that! Thats so cheap!

You will never go back Shellectra! I have a Canon 40d and am totally in love with it. A friend has a Canon 1000d and its also fantastic if your on more of a budget. I think they go for around $1000ish with a lense kit.

Mmm maybe my work is blocking it. Bloody spoiling my fun Great that you have lots of ideas! I have a couple but need to put my thinking cap on.

I just got emailed this but the video wont work! Anyone else having trouble? Maybe its because everyone was emailed it at once and are trying to watch it?? Congratulations on being part of EOS Photo5 2009. This year for the first time we are giving you a little extra inspiration and some tips to get you going on the briefs. Over the next 4 weeks we will be launching a series of videos on the site, one from each of the EOS Photo5 judges. The videos will give you an insight into the judge's style of photography and what they are looking for in your entries. The first video is from Chris Bray on this year's most experimental brief: 'Bokeh'. http://www1.canon.com.au/worldofeos/learn/...with-bokeh.aspx

Thanks tlc, You know, I have no idea if I shoot in raw! I will have to do some reading of my manual as I have no idea! Kja, Thanks for the excouragement! A guy I work with in our IT department managed to gain free access to ligtroom on the net. He tried to explain how he did it but it made no sense to me. I was under the impression he hacked into it some how.

I have a similar thread going that might help http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...=176422&hl=
