I just bought myself a Nikon D70S, and i thought, what better way to break it in, then taking some pics of my girl.

Heres what i came up with, I hope you like them as much as i do. Im thinkin about taking photography a little more serious, so any perth soarer owners keen for some pics, gimma a hoy.

Yeah, you just make sure that you keep your business over there, don't wana have to send the goon squad to visit a fellow club member!

Sweet pics though, you had any formal training or just self taught?

no formal training, but im very keen to learn. I spose if you take enough pics some are bound to come out good. I can't take any credit as i have to be honest, photo's of a pretty car are bound to come out pretty.

From the sounds of the gear your getting, you have nothing to worry about. If i lived close enough, i'd prolly be beggin you to tag along. Cams photo liscence sounds flippen sweet!

True that. My profile pics were done when I was packing up to come home from the shack. Not too much prep involved (other than removing the bugs from the front bar), pretty much just measured the light levels, point and shot!

Yeah it does, just hope they haven't changed their criteria much, then again, knowing cams...

It would appear that everyone here is quite capable of taking a half decent car shot, almost seems like you all don't need me anymore :-(

Photoshop obviously helps a great deals these days but I am still very reluctant to use it, i still do, but I believe that excessive photoshopping is the basis for digital art, not photography. I prefer to get the shot as good as I can in camera, then perform some minor tweaks if required. And usually they are just removing background clutter that is unavoidable whilst shooting. These people that do MAJOR digital editing to images and try and pass themselves off as a photographer are starting to annoy me...

Nothing wrong with Photoshop it’s just what you use if your a digital photographer to get the most out of your images.

Traditional photographers when processing the negative onto paper would use various techniques to change the look of the photos. for example, different exposures, and filters to using their hands in the chemicals to give it a grungy look.

Photoshop is used to do the same things but is for a different medium of photography.

please don’t miss quote me. I said what I said!

Fair enough. I understand what your saying. What I was getting at was when people start putting things in the frame that weren't there to begin with. That is NOT photography and that IS digital art. I have a few mates that are graphic designers/photographers and they all agree on this theory too.

But I think we should end this here, to much potential to get a tad out of hand knowing the way some threads have gone along on here...

Didn't mean end the thread, keep the prettiness coming! I just meant we should probably end the debate that I invariably started.
