Then the jilted stapler goes and staples the others to death, eats the remains and then sleeps it off.

Who has been changing the time again? I missed the start >_< /I assume daylight savings has kicked in.

I offer $8 and a candy bar!! 😛

Well it looks like I need to have a house-warming in the next month 😛

Friends doing stupid things make great photos 😀

I really wanted to get a photo of a police/ambulance/firetruck all lit up but I didn’t have enough time to stake out said establishments (or risk terrorist charges :P). Oh well bring on next week … hopefully!

I’m going to have to try that approach in the future! Now to make friends with a music photographer 😛

I have been shooting from just behind the mosh pit or up in the stands for most of the concerts I have been too recently (for concerts where they say no cameras, I find cargo shorts provide enough pockets to hide the body and a few lenses :P)

I agree with using a lens with a large aperture (I also have the 50mm f1.8 ).

I made the mistake of not changing the ISO to 1600 (I forgot I changed it back to 100 earlier while outside *slaps head*), but I found by putting the camera into aperture priority and watching what the camera thinks the exposure the time should be, then getting an average from the values (it was ranging between 0.3s to 1/200s so I went with 1/60s).

Once you have the average, put it into manual mode with the aperture and exposure set to the values determined. Once that is done I then used the auto focus to focus on the performers and then set it to manual focus so the camera won’t do anything but take photos.

By doing this I got some really good band photos with the ISO set at 100!

Yes!!! Send it to Australia!!!

I promise to take photos of kangaroos or koalas … or koalas in kangaroos (ok, maybe not :P)

/I don’t actually expect someone to send it over as I imagine it would be a quite expensive endevour. Mind you, starting another camera over here and sending it via a different route might be an idea.

only if your feet are visible on the controls 😛

I just used the auto align option in CS2, unfortunately it seems to have focused on one building when aligning (my love for the bracketing function and a remote is much higher than my love for changing the exposure levels and trying not to shake the camera when hitting the button thanks to this experiment :P)

/me goes off to test this theory with his old 2mp Sony!

And here is the result (3 exposures: -2, 0, +2):

Compared to the photo with no exposure change:

Apart from some camera shake, it seems to have worked ok.

I think you could do a HDR with nearly any digital camera. As long as you change the exposure level on the camera and can keep the camera still then you should be able to make a HDR from the resultant photos.
