[NSW] Photographers meet & Greet - Norwest

[whiteballz]

Was a good little catchup, and was awesome to see the young guys trying out their hand and the old hands at their craft.

These are what I got for taking about 20 photos in all, I had way too much fun catching up and being lighting bitch for Matt for a short while.

So guys who were there, Please chuck your photos in here!

[Ecks]

Rad shot man. Just needed a bit of light on the rear end.

[SVP]

Looks like I missed out on a good meet.

[Pr0ph3cy]

Rad shot man. Just needed a bit of light on the rear end.

I actually like the shadow, looks a bit more... I dunno, sinister is the wrong word, but thats what keeps coming to mind.

[MaTBoY]

i agree but it needs something to help lift the grey car off the grey backdrop.

[Aleks.B]

spewing I didnt come :(

[KEV248]

spewing i didnt know about this :(

would have been good...

[tez]

Awesome idea by Brucey. It was great to see how much effort actually goes into producing a good photograph - I have a LOT to learn!

welcome to my world!!!

[Snoop G]

what i like with meets like this is everyone is style is different but yet still cool .
Well done guys.

I think its time i buy a CAMERA>

[MaTBoY]

So here we go... I didn't shoot much, just talked shit and strolled around annoying as many people as I could. Most shots were of people and not cars for a (FUN) change.
Here's the only real shot I took.

Did some rigs out in the pouring rain (BecauseShowingOff) and the 60D got absolutely drenched, wont be trying that again.... until I get a 5D MkIII :P But seeing the result of this Evo shot was definitely worth the risk

[Pr0ph3cy]

Damn hoons, hooning about in the rain! Very nice jo, its amazing what something as simple as leaving the exposure that little bit longer can achieve.

[brasher]

thanks peeps! Looking forward to seeing some more from you.

You gonna post up your vid results Brasher?

Just uploading now :)

It's not very good but learning the ropes, it's good fun compared to photography, it's similar but a new challenge.

[whiteballz]

Nice work!

[brasher]

How long did it take to edit man?

about an hour, most the time I was watching youtube tutorials on how to do things, nothing like photoshop.

[kaspa_lee]

Photos look great and looks like a load of fun, wish I was aware of this!

[Pr0ph3cy]

Phew someone asked before I did, did anyone (besides manyu- thanks mate :)) shoot my boring corolla? lol

[SHU11Y]

It was a good night, I didn't know anyone before I got there but it was great meeting you all... I ended up getting home at 12:45 I think

Here are some of my shots, I'm not as good a photographer as some of you guys but I know photoshop quite well so that saves me a bit.

[nikolaz01]

jealous of the rigset up joseph. how much did it costed you for the clamps etc?

[J_HUI]

Great pics Steve, really like the interior shot of the 180 & love your wrx! :-o

Sweet edit Paolo, actually really impress with the editing, color is good, not too bright and you even straightened the image.

Nicholas you're probably the 6th person to ask me :???:, my rig cost about $500 all up with stuff from the US + a custom/ DIY pole. but I also needed to buy a new lens as it wasn't wide enough costing another $600

Here you go samballs
