Well, after lurking around and checking out everyone's photos (very cool, creative and interesting!), I have some catching up to do. So I looked back through my photos and realised I took some fairly decent shots a few years back (2001/2002), using my Olympus digital camera (the one that I used a couple of weeks ago <a href="http://www.d70users.com/viewtopic.php?t=11698">here</a> to take photos in the Hunter Valley).

These are all resized from the original 1600x1200 shots, no cropping or reframing (except the last one for obvious reasons). No PP done. A tad pixellated, due to the JPEG compression unfortunately.


This first one was taken at a footy field in Greystanes (I think?) I had a couple of mates playing for the mighty NorWest Jets (blue & white stripes).. I especially love the power lines in the background.. How's the serenity? 1/400, F/7, ISO100, Approx 38mm

This is one of my favourites. Taken after a sunday arvo game at the SCG (IIRC it was Sydney vs Geelong, and we lost). Long after the final siren, we were leaving, and I thought the sky looked perfect for a photo. Paused to snap the shot, and it worked out just great. 1/80, F/3.5, ISO100, Approx 45mm

The next couple are among my first attempts at time-lapse stuff.

3s, F/3.2, ISO100

Coming back into Sydney Harbour at about 6am, last day of our South Pacific cruise. 1/160, F/2.8, ISO100

It'd been raining that evening, and a small frog had gotten onto the outdoor table - I like the reflections on the table. 1/200, F/3.5, ISO100, Flash, 380mm Macro

More time-lapse photography. Just by the highway in North Sydney, looking towards the harbour bridge. 8s, F/8

My first attempt at piecing together a panorama, and oddly, one of my favourites. I didn't take them closely enough together, so you can see the obvious joins/bends. This is a beautiful winter evening out at Richmond, where the aforementioned Norwest Jets have their home ground.

I look forward to getting similar (or better!) results with my D70s once I get it

Hi Losfp. I recognise you from the ocau forums (my name is smakkythecamel on there). You've got some nice shots here, I like the mood that you've captured in the SCG shot.

Look forward to seeing what you can do when you get your new toy

Cheers,
Owen.

Cheers owen - That SCG shot is normally one of the first images I select for a desktop picture at work etc

Rarely get a scene that needs next to no cropping/PP etc like that!
