Hi All,

Hope this mesage finds you well.

Just letting you know that my current photographic exhibition is ending on September 13.

I still have 14 of the original 25 images on display and as an extra added bonus I am selling them all at cost price on Sept 12!!

Prices range from $100(A4) - $170(A2) and each image is individually signed, numbered and beautifully framed.

If you are interested in coming in for a drink, having a final look or perhaps picking up an image, I am throwing 'closing drinks' on Friday Sept 12 from 6.30pm, at the Red Monkey Tea House, 470 Victoria St, North Melbourne.

If you pop in before then, the bar has catalogues and can take deposits for the remaining images, that can then be picked up when the exhibition finishes.

Additionally, there is still an opportunity to order reprints of those images already sold directly from the catalogue!

Please RSVP as soon as you can, as space is very limited.

Thanks for your time.

Kind Regards,

Rob Steer

Some I took on the west coast of France last week. The weather, sadly, was a bit shithouse.

The Canon Photo5 Comp is open again (the one where they send you a box full of random objects and you submit your best pics of each)

http://www.canon.com.au/photo5/default.aspx

I entered last year and I'm pretty sure a few others from here did too

PahMaLa · Post by **PahMaLa** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 9:57 pm

Cheers for the comment Liz

Also my friend has just loaned me her Olympus OM-1

And ooo ain't missing out on the Canon comp either, cheers brb!

hey guys, my first contribution to this thread i think. Just bought my first Digital SLR 3 weeks ago (just before a trip to NZ) so here is a selection of my first few weeks. Feedback/advice appreciated.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 11:23 pm

youthful-implants - nice shots, i like the mood

some of those a fully sick Al. noice one!

man i will enter that comp again, but maybe focus on one good shot than the many crap ideas i came up with last year lol

Post by **lynt** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 10:17 am

Some of those shots are unreal Al!! Looks like you had a mad time!

almax · Post by **almax** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 11:37 am

Thanks guys

My personal fave is the lake Wanaka one with the rock in the foreground but its easy to take awesome shots with a landscape like NZ has!

So what are the laws for paparazzi?
I was walking down Chapel st the other day and saw a celebrity/sportsman having lunch with another and i had my camera with me. Now im not the kind of person to normally think of taking photos of celebrities but after i walked past it got me thinking that i could have perhaps sold that photo if i had taken it. What are the legalities involved of such a situation? would i have to be sneaky and make sure they dont see me? or can i just waltz up and take a pic?

Jinx · Post by **Jinx** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 2:05 pm

They are in a public place, you are on public land. You're welcome to photograph anyone you want. It's pretty much open slather.

A good point of reference is here aswell - http://www.4020.net/words/photorights.php It's for NSW but the laws are very similar for here too.

The only real question is morality. Go nuts. Don't take photos of government property or restricted areas. Also, try not to get your head bashed in.

Post by **lynt** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 2:59 pm

Soon we'll all be shooting HD Video and taking out stills.

Kind of like that, which was shot with a Canon HV30 HD handy cam. AUD$1000.

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 3:16 pm

Yeah for real, I was thinking about that while watching the Olympics with their HD cameras

Post by **lynt** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 3:44 pm

Perfect for sports / olympics etc... film all of it, then just pick out the premo shots.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 4:19 pm

Post by **lynt** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 4:48 pm

What's even better, you can mount SLR lenses on there.

This is a Canon HV30 with a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens attached.

SEX.

i got two ideas so far.

the tea light one has stumped me good though. but i just want to concentrate on two at the moment anyways, no use getting ahead of myself and just doing crap ideas/pictures.
