:awesome: Nice, Timo.

[Pooky]

I doubt I can say much about it that hasn't already been said, so generic compliment :)

[LlamaMaster]

There isn't a single picture I don't absolutely love. (well, i don't like little kids, but whatever...)

[Boba]

You're awesome.

[rossmum]

So uh what kind of career path have you got in mind? :raise:

Love your photos. :3

[Reaper Man]

D: I want a macro lens, but I'm torn between getting a 105mm f/2.8 VR macro and an 80-200 f/2.8D telephoto lens.

So uh what kind of career path have you got in mind? :raise:

Love your photos. :3
Civil Engineering, thanks for asking :-D. I can't honestly see this becoming a career path for me, as it seems that there's a lot of photographers out there, most of which aren't earning much money. I enjoy it, sure, but I think I'd be happier doing something I'd also enjoy but with a more stable income.

If you're wondering why none of this is new - it's because i've been really bogged down with school, so my camera has really just been collecting dust over these past couple of months. :(

[Sel]

You look like that guy from lord of the rings :3

Frodo?

[ICEE]

I really like the waterdrop pictures, but I think my favorite is the one on the beach beneath a (pier?). It really is an interesting perspective.

[Classicthunder]

Wow between you and Reaper Man this forum has some of the best photography on the net.

Weta's are so awesome. First one i've seen in literally years, and it's only a small bugger too.

[Hunter]

wtf is that!?

Ive never seen one of them before. They live in the UK?

[SuperSunny]

I have a Nikon D40 with the stock lens, planning to get a 1.8d lens.

I've always loved your photos! Good work!

[Timo]

A Weta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weta). And No, considering I live in New Zealand :eyesroll:

Sunny - go Canon and get a f/1.2 lens instead:

I hope you realize that the f/1.8D lens won't autofocus on your D40. Great lens though, love mine on my D80. Also, Timo, Canon f/0.95 lens, lul http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/s/data/50-85/spec/s_50_095.jpg

[JunkfoodMan]

Timo, is it you who has the 400D (Since there are a few photographers on this site) ? If so, would you recommend it?

I'm looking to get a DSLR camera with a decent lens. Also, is the stock lens any good?

I'm just hoping the price will go down november-time =D

It's all good, I'm not really a fan of auto focus anyhow, I mainly do manual on the stock. I hope to find it cheap, I have a buddy who found his for about a 100. It works great.

Definitely would recommend it - it was a great investment. This Site (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/)is an excellent source of canon lens and equipment reviews, when it comes to choosing the lens you want to get. The stock lenses are OK at best, the twin lens kit I got was alright when I started out; until I realized that the lenses cost less that half of equivalent lenses and they're not as sharp (manual focusing is literally impossible with the 18-55mm). But they are cheap, and a good idea if you're not wanting to fork out $700+ (NZD, not sure what prices you'd get) for a new lens.

If you are looking for a comparison between different D-SLR cameras, D-Preview (http://www.dpreview.com/) is a great resource.

Note that Canon doesn't allow you to clean the sensor inside the camera yourself, but Nikon and other brands allow you to use Eclipse Swabs. This saves you time, and you can get 10 swabs+cleaning fluid for around about the same price as it would cost you to send it off to Canon. In the long run you'll eventually have a bit of dust ending up on the sensor, no matter how careful you are.

[SuperSunny]

Doesn't the 400D have the auto sensor cleaner?

[Timo]

Yeah it does - but for me it seems i've got some hard bits of dust that just don't want to move. You can give the camera a baseline for the dust by taking a photo of a white image too; so when you take pictures it automatically gets rid of the dust. But i'd rather get rid of the dust sitting on the sensor apposed to just going around it.

[Reaper Man]

It's all good, I'm not really a fan of auto focus anyhow, I mainly do manual on the stock. I hope to find it cheap, I have a buddy who found his for about a 100. It works great.
They are cheap, I got mine for about $80US (~$650HK)

Stick insects are ugly bastards.

Was walking past my car when I saw what looked like a stick poking out of the mud-guard area of the back tire, and ended up pulling it out =x Hate to know how far I drove with it around 10-15cm above my back wheel.

[Heathen]

REALLY amazing stuff.

[Corndogman]

Why do the first two look like paintings? Are they actually or is it just me and I'm crazy?

[Hunter]

They all look amazing, how much your camera cost? Because it seems really expensive because the quality of the pictures is HD lol.

[Timo]

Looking on Amazon.com for an american price, it's ~$1055 for the camera body (Canon 400D) and lens I most commonly use (100mm f/2.8 macro). Finding that makes me want to move to America just so I can get a reasonable price for gear, prices in NZ are ridiculous.

[Hunter]

So that would be £821.47. Lol

That's a lot of money.

[Reaper Man]

Why do the first two look like paintings? Are they actually or is it just me and I'm crazy?
Long exposure. Same thing that gives the effect of red/white light streaks when a car goes by at night.
I got a 4-stop ND filter so I can expose for longer (take that timo :downs:), and I've been planning to take photos at ma local waterfall. The last one is the best, timo. Nice job.

They all look amazing, how much your camera cost? Because it seems really expensive because the quality of the pictures is HD lol.
You don't need a fancy camera to take shots like that, simply a tripod and the ability to control your shutter speed. All cameras have been HD for YEARS - Seeing as HD is anything higher than 720p, lulz.

Well today I decided to blow the dust off my camera and go for an hours drive to there and back (Rere Falls), and took some photos on the way. Family life has been pretty hectic at the moment and i've got final exams in a few weeks time if anyones wondering about the absence of new pics. Crit/Comments appreciated, as always :).

[Phobias]

1, 4 and 6 are beautiful.

[Reaper Man]

The content of the black and white photo is nice, however I think the black and white conversion could have been done better. Stronger contrast etc, as the whole thing looks underexposed. #4 Is my favorite one of the lot.

[Con]

The fourth shot is my favourite. The black and white one seems kinda boring though of you ask me.

Took these around a week ago. A bit if post processing went into these, still uncropped but something I don't usually do. The second is my favourite - the tree is in focus, but it doesn't degrade the contours of the hills which I thought it might do. Just wish the clouds were a bit more epic :p

[SnaFuBAR]

very nice timo my friend. these would all serve well as desktops. betting to see in post your desktop thread.

[SuperSunny]

Change the links on the images Timo!

Also, I'd love to see a put-together portfolio-kinda deal of your work! Not a deviant (unless you're using that for the best), but more of a collaboration of what you feel is your best. There has been massive improvement from you!

[Syuusuke]

The photographs, the last post, the last.... Goddamn FTP.

You and Raperman have totally motivated to take up photography, I mean, look at those. I love the idea of catching life in a still moment.

[paladin]

I think I've said this before, but you are a very talented photographer.

[Timo]

Thanks guys!

Sunny the servers for modacity have switched and the subdomains (timo.modacity.net) haven't been moved across or something - they should be up sometime tomorrow if jcap knows what he's doing ;) Since it's the summer holidays here I might setup my subdomain as a portfolio website. I'm horrible at making websites though, hopefully I can find a template online somewhere.

It's pretty neat to look back at what I was spitting out of my mum's old camera three years ago and compare it today. I didn't think i'd come this far at all.

Edit: The only one out of those three really worth uploading for a second time:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/Timo12/_MG_7422.jpg
In all its uncropped glory. I should get rid of that little treeline at the bottom. Don't like cropping stuff D:

[FluffyDucky™]

Yeah would make it look perfect... I love your photos. I used to want to get into photography, but I guess it would only be a side thing for me... so I never really did anything about it.

[Reaper Man]

Oh wow Timo. Damn you and your landscapes, we got nothing like that in Hong Kong D:

[FluffyDucky™]

Take pics of the mass amount of people! :)

[Reaper Man]

Take pics of the mass amount of people! :)
I do, and the cityscape, but I want a change of scenery D:

[Timo]

That shot was literally ten steps from my computer. Out of my room, open up the door to the deck above the first floor of the house and take shots. :3

[Hunter]

Ive got one of your sunset pictures as my background. It is awsome.
Your really lucky to live in an environment like that Lol. Wish I did.

[Timo]

Fireworks, I love them. Wish I could've captured sound with these:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/01-Jan-09/_MG_7869.jpg

5" at f/3.2

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/01-Jan-09/_MG_7871.jpg
6" at f/2.8

Gisborne city is surrounded by hills, and when a big boom goes off from a firework (or dry ice bomb ;D), the boom echoes around the hills for around 15 seconds. It's epic.

Wish I had more time to set up, it was nearly over when I started shooting and adjusting because I've never taken shots of fireworks before. They look like they've turned out alright ;p

[Terror(NO)More]

You must get me a picture of a GIANT WETA!!! So get your ass on an island with gigantism and wetas and get me picture. I bet you wont pick one up. :D I saw it as one of the species on wiki and I almost shat considering the only other insect I know thats big is the Camel Spider.

[nick3d]

God thats an ugly insect, a giant cockroach cricket lol
E:


weta can be found in a variety of environments including alpine, forests, grasslands, caves, shrub lands and urban gardens.
In New Zealand btw

[Timo]

Off my front lawn, :^D

Wetas used to be pretty common in my area, but I haven't seen one (other than the small one I posted here) in years :(

Conservation

Although the weta had native predators in the form of birds, especially the weka and kiwi, reptiles and bats before the arrival of humans, introduced species such as cats, hedgehogs, rats (including kiore) and mustelids have caused a sharp increase in the rate of predation. They are also vulnerable to habitat destruction caused by humans and modification of their habitat caused by introduced browsers. New Zealand’s Department of Conservation considers that 16 of the 70 species of weta are now at risk. Programmes to prevent extinctions have been implemented since the 1970s.

That's the only thing I could find. I'd love to see one of these insects.

[Timo]

Here I am again bumping this topic from nowhere.

100mm f/2.8 for 1.3s
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/_MG_8348.jpg
100mm f/32** for 480s

These are two shots on two different days of my sister's flat's deck in Wellington, the second biggest city in NZ. What I found weird is that these were two days apart - and the moon has shifted hugely to the right o_. (the building in the bottom center of the first is in the bottom left of the second).

Hopefully when I go back down there this weekend I can get up early enough for the sunrise, and go to this lookout point over the city:
http://www.globalramble.com/Images/Wellington_Harbor.jpg
So if you are still wondering, yes, New Zealand does have buildings higher that 6 stories.

[Con]

new zealand is awesome :smith:

1st: thats Quality

Hey con, victoria is awesome too!

You should grab a cheap lens, like the Canon 50mm f/1.8 http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8-Camera-Lens/dp/B00007E7JU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1240004693&sr=8-1, go raeging and take some pictures! You'd be surprised with what you can take - point it at the sky/horizon and leave it going for half an hour at night to catch the stars, or something. If it doesn't have a CF card they're ridiculously cheap now too.

[Syuusuke]

I know! I KNOW!

I need a CF card reader though.

I was thinking of investing in zoom lenses, but I guess its good to have a fixed with ya.

[Timo]

Well it depends if you want to spend the money on them or not. They'll work with all a new canon dslr too so if you want to upgrade you can. Check out www.the-digital-picture.com for awesome reviews on most canon lenses, and his recommendations for general purpose/telephoto/fixed length lenses.

[Syuusuke]

Yea I've seen some of his general purpose guides, got me reconsidering a few lens (I was going to go for a 28-105) to a I don't know what lens anymore =P

[InnerGoat]

Hey, I'm bumping this to remind Timo to take more awesome pictures.

laterz~

[Timo]

Well yesterday I sat on a ferry for 3 hours and a train for 5 and a half to get from Wellington to Christchurch, to get back to uni. Something I only want to do once ;).
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8436.jpg
A random fire exit to what looks like a parking building in Wellington


The ferry ride was a bit bumpy, but got some nice photos:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8495.jpg
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8497.jpg
A massive pod of dolphins (100+) all swam towards the boat from the side, and and went underneath. Too far up to get a shot of the whole pod, but got a couple good ones


http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8505.jpg
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8526.jpg
After crossing the strait inbetween the north and south island. Biggest downside of taking photos off of a boat is that my camera's lenses are dotted with salty water, and I can't find my micro fiber cloth to clean them off :F


http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8536.jpg
Train!

The scenery reminded me why I loved living here - spend most of the time out in an open viewing carriage. As you can image there was no time to compose a shot as the train was going ~100km/h the entire time, so these were taken inbetween trees a few metres away, etc.
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8538.jpg
Some vistas:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8696.jpg

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8825.jpg
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/Apr-09/Trip/_MG_8694.jpg

Was a good trip (esp. for only $80 for the ferry and train). Saw the northen end of the southern alps too, but with the sun setting behind them there wasn't much to capture. Might upload some more later, the train went up along the coastline too, but with a lot of it under shadow.

[Con]

I've trawled through my photo collection, ~7000 photos to find some new photos amongst old favourites. Around 2% of my photos are on that site, and I know I missed a few ;o

Hopefully in the next few days i'll have updated my user album, sorted out the first post of this thread and gotten some of those shots into my sig :3

Went a wee way into the Southern Alps (towards Arthur's Pass) to the snow for a bit. Was awesome.

[klange]

Do you have an original of http://timo.modacity.net/pix/mthutt/mthuttpano.jpg at nx1050 (at least)? I want to make a 3360x1050 wallpaper out of it.

Until then, you can try doing handheld panoramas
(http://www.brewzone.com/2007/10/handheld-panoramas/2) or you could make yourself a $1 tripod

Here's the unresized version ~16000x2300:

But I think I might fiddle with the raw (both panos are just what the camera shat out) a bit later on to see if I can make it a bit nicer.

All in the one building surprisingly. I would have a panorama of the front of the building, but there were a few cars parked out the front that would've ruined the photo :[

[Reaper Man]

Looks cool, but the black and white shots seem underexposed/low contrast. In my opinion, the whole point of graffiti is the bright colors, and photographing it in black and white just doesn't really do it justice.

[Timo]

Yeah I guess, I was just tooling around in Lightroom. I'll put the originals in a while.

[Con]

What makes lightroom so special? Doesn't Ps do it all?

[Timo]

It does, but lightroom makes it a helluva lot easier :3

[Reaper Man]

Eh, but Lightroom has no GPU acceleration, I use Bridge because I manage thousands of photos at a time, so when I tried Lightroom, it was sluggish as hell. They're forcing me to use Lightroom for my photo courses next quarter though :saddowns:

[Timo]

Lightroom for me was pretty sluggish at first - I, too, have thousands of photos :|. After a while though it sped up - not sure why though.

Hm, maybe because it cached all your photos after a while.. Eh, I'll have to find out.

Never hike 15 minutes up a hill in a black T-shirt and black denim shorts on a hot day. Bad idea :[

i think the first one is going to find its way to my desktop

[Timo]

Try refreshing your cache in a minute - I'm overwriting those photos with some higher ressed ones (1680xn). Forgot to change the export settings from those panoramas yesterday :x

[Timo]

:photospam:

Woke up at 4:30 this morning to get out to the lookout for the sunrise at 5:30. Some of the photos are a little blurry, my poor tripod couldn't hold my camera - it was damn windy.

One day away from completing a trip around East Cape
http://www.nzstays.co.nz/pics/East%20Cape%20Map.jpg
Gisborne to Opotiki, up and around the coast. I got a 10 stop ND filter the other day too which i've used pretty heavily over the trip - it lets in 1000x less light than normal ;o. Went back to the old freezing works I posted up in here at the start of last year, been to the lighthouse at the very tip of east cape, walked up a stream all the way to an amazing waterfall. A 10 year old Dairy building too, that had been tagged up and smashed to bits. When I get back home i'll post process some of these photos, and upload them (using a laptop with canon's raw software, it's pretty terrible).

e: In the mean time here's an unedited 100% crop of something I found while walking the stream:

[Reaper Man]

Weird. What is it?

I really like the blue-tinged light on the cat.

Edit: I've got all of these photos up on my website now for those that want to save a bit of bandwidth: http://timo.modacity.net/2010

~Big post~

It's a moth believe it or not, happened upon it after nearly hitting my head on a dead branch after taking some macro shots. Looked at the end of the branch again and saw it. I just can't believe it's hair/feathers, they almost looked plastic (see a full pic further down).
The wallpaper i've been using, shot of a shrub covered in some afternoon rain outside my dad's house:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/Jan-eastcape/_MG_0686.jpg
I've spent the past couple of hours trawling over the photos, and have picked out around 36 great ones. I've also got about twelve panoramas to process in autopano pro, which is what i'll do tomorrow. In the order of taking them.

There's also a big panorama take from the other side of the wharf that i'll look into tomorrow.

The following were taken at the old freezing works at Tokomaru Bay, where i've taken photos earlier this year.

Secluded waterfall that was just barely visible from the road. Had to jump a fence and walk through a paddock of cows to get this shot. It seemed to turn into a steep stream pretty fast though, so I decided not to get any closer. 45 sec at f/11

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/Jan-eastcape/_MG_0941.jpg
A photo of the rocky beach at Lottin Point. I've taken a couple of big panoramas here too, with the 10 stop ND filter on to give it the same misty water effect. Hopefully they've come out alright! 46 sec at f/11

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/Jan-eastcape/_MG_0993.jpg
This waterfall was well up a stream off the main road at Whanarua Bay. Surprisingly it wasn't sign posted, just happened to pass a lady on the way down to the beach who said there was a waterfall upstream. It was an epic walk, visual overload with saturated green colours. On my monitor, the colour is as lush and green as it was on the day. 30 sec at f/13
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/Jan-eastcape/_MG_1003.jpg
Another perspective on the waterfall. I wanted to get closer but there was quite a lot of spray coming up from the fall, and I didn't want to get my camera sprayed. 48 sec at f/7.1

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/Jan-eastcape/_MG_1033.jpg
Thought i'd take my macro lens for a whizz in here to see what I could find. 0.8 sec at f/7.1

And I found this! 10 sec at f/8

I have no idea what type of moth it is though, but the detail is stunning. 6 sec at f/8

These are some photos taken in a reserve in Opotoki. There's a 2000 year old Puriri tree here that Maori used to bury elders/sacrifice people in that i've taken a massive panorama of. Hopefully good results :] There was pretty bad lighting though so i've only got a few macro shots.
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/Jan-eastcape/_MG_1128.jpg

Some orange fungus that almost looked luminous against the black log they were residing on.

These final shots were taken up the Tauranga River in Waioeka Gorge on the way back home. These a three hour trail that follows the river up and back. Initially we were just going to look at the river mouth but ended up doing the entire walk. There was a stream that fed the river that had a really epic look to it:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/Jan-eastcape/_MG_1280.jpg
Was literally taken right off the track. 101 sec at f/5.6
I decided to trek a bit further up the stream, at it just stayed as epic as that:

To get to the Tauranga river walk you had to go over the Tauranga bridge (heh), but it's pretty awesome, the only harp suspension bridge left in New Zealand.

This was taken up by the lighthouse. There was no clear 360 degree view from the top, except off the top of this station. The panorama I was trying to get out of it sucked too. I forgot to shoot in manual mode, accidentally left it in aperture priority so when I moved around the camera decided to expose for the sky, then ground, etc. :ugh:

So over the past two days I drove around 1000km from Gisborne my hometown to my Uni in the south island. Didn't take a lot of photos, I tend to drift on the road if I gawk at the scenery too much. Here's some panoramas:

Drove about an hour out of Christchurch today with my brother to see Sharplin Falls. We initially started on the track but decided to walk up the river instead, which was worth it:

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/sharplinfalls/9.jpg

The last shot there is Sharplin Falls, which is a bizarre. It falls into a pond not much larger than you can see in the photo, and the water just disappears. It must feed directly into an aquifer, it just doesn't make sense in my mind that a waterfall on the other side of the boulder flows down the river, yet this one drops directly into the ground. :ugh:

[Malloy]

OMG its Halo Reach's new water!!!! (I found the shitstorm in that thread Chokingvictim)

Those photo's are so gnarly man, i'd of loved to of just been there camera or no camera. Looks amazing.

[Timo]

Nice shots man.

I don't think so -- the mountain range that these are off was formed by tectonic movement, not volcanic action.

Yeah I agree - it was definitely worth the trip up the river :]

Got out to Peel Forest today, got to a Rata, Emily and Ackland Falls. Found a couple of neat spots too downstream from Emily falls, although it was a bit of a bitch to get there. Had to backtrack to another stream and follow it down till it linked up with the river that feeds Emily.

Emily Falls:

The waterfall we had to jump down to get downstream:

I fell just up and to the left on the mossy stuff to the right of the top of the waterfall back into the water while trying to get mine, my brothers and his mates gear back up, it was pretty entertaining :F

Overall a pretty fun trip, spent about 6 hours walking around. Time to update my website v_V

[InnerGoat]

nice pics timo :) :)

[paladin]

All the places like that around here are under 6ft of snow :nsmug:

[Roostervier]

i made one of these my wallpaper. timo this is like the 8th wallpaper you've given me man.

[Timo]

ty guys :]

[Timo]

Went up the port hills to check out the snowfall early this morning, wasn't a lot left by late afternoon. Got a few nice shots though, except for that freakin' lens flare :F

[ThePlague]

I kinda like the lens flare, it points your eye towards the direction of that bunker thing.

[Syuusuke]

Did you take this during the evening?

[Timo]

Yeah late evening, sun was around an hour off setting.

[iizahsum]

I love all your photos of beaches. I'm a surfer and I must say New Zealand has some of the nicest water I've ever seen, It's such a beautiful deep blue.

[Timo]

Yeah the beaches here are really epic, Gisborne has some of the best in New Zealand.

Tried to do some star trails again, haven't tried in a long time. Drove around an hour out of town to get out of light pollution

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/June/-2926.jpg
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/June/-2903.jpg

Tried to get them a lot longer but I couldn't stop the lens from fogging up >:

[InnerGoat]

whoa

[Con]

Can I get both of those in wallpaper size? At least 1920x1080 if you can.

[Futzy]

Could I get these in >1920x1080 as well? Fantastic work

[Inferno]

Timo. If you've got a max res shot of http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/June/-2926.jpg. I would love to use it as a desktop background.

[Timo]

Well by switching my monitor cables over so I could plug my xbox into my new monitor, I managed to lose my colour profiles for both monitors (In my frustration I edited the RGB settings on my old monitor, killing any chance I had in recovering the original colours). I just upgraded to lightroom 3 as well, which magically removed my lightroom 3 beta catalogue, which means i've lost all my alterations to every photo i've taken in the past 6 months. Great.

BUT: http://timo.modacity.net/pix/wallpapers enjoy.

e: On the upside Lightroom 3's noise reduction is freaking amazing:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/perter/Image_2010-06-24%201328.56.777.jpg

[Con]

my edit of the telephone pole one if anyone's interested:

http://con.modacity.net/edit.jpg

thanks timo :)

[Timo]

Thanks for that, i'm useless in getting rid of bad noise.

[Con]

http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?18940-Tutorial-Surface-Blur-for-Shapening-and-Anti-aliasing

My method also works for noise reduction. Just duplicate the layer, apply the filter, then mask off the layer.

[Futzy]

The telephone pole shot is probably my favorite of what you've shown on here. It's also my new WMC background :)

[=sw=warlord]

Not a telephone pole, that's a power line.
I must admit I've been liking your new photos timo.

[Timo]

Thanks :] I've been hating them <_<;

[Inferno]

<3's and plus rep for the wallpaper sauce.

[Timo]

There's a photo competition on at the moment with a local camera store, and first prize is an Olympus EP-1 (I think I might cry if I win it). The theme is night, which is why I took those photos - thinking more and more about entering the power pole one. Figure i'm in with a fighting chance with something unique like that, most of the current entries are either light painting or just time lapse shots of roads.

[Llama Juice]

Do it sir, that power pole is awesome :P

[Timo]

Here's a re-edited version:
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/177/4/6/Powerlines_and_Stars_by_Timo12.jpg
I think it looks a fair bit better than the one I originally uploaded. More inline with Con's edit, but still keeping the contrast on the power pole.

[InnerGoat]

Yeah go for it. If you win you can give the Oly to me???

[Reaper Man]

Star bokeh! Wow, what an awesome idea!

The original version looks better imo.

[Timo]

Yeah go for it. If you win you can give the Oly to me???
Only if you send a T2i down :]


Star bokeh! Wow, what an awesome idea!

The original version looks better imo.
Yeah i'm still not too sure on which one to enter. The entries are put on facebook as well, which kills the clean look of photos with compression.

[InnerGoat]

Ew no way a t2i is worth twice as much. Who knows maybe I'll end up with the 7D because nobody has stock of the t2i body :aaaaa:

Send in the original because it shows your skillz

[Timo]

Figured i'd post this here since it's taken by my brother, and he's also entering into the comp:
http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/182/5/7/Milky_Way_by_Niv24.jpg
Pretty sure i've lost. I can hope for a bunch of people to enter the same thing to water it down but that's about it :smith:. He's got another photo at the same spot with a really sharp foreground that i've told him to photoshop in. Told him he could do it himself, and he's never touched photoshop before %-)

[Timo]

Went up the port hills last night to see if I could get any shots of the Southern Lights, which were a no show :(. Still an amazing night though, so many stars:
http://iforce.co.nz/i/wfvmrr15.jpg
Would post a higher res version but it was taken at ISO3200 with hacked firmware to get it that high, so it's pretty damn noisy.

[Crackers]

A lovely picture, if you're going to edit it I would suggest taking control of the lovely natural contrast this image creates between orange and black-purple-blue and enhance the brightness of the glowing line in the bottom right hand corner. The cloud of stars in the middle serve as a natural hook to drag the eye from left to right but all you meet is a somewhat glowing horizon, make it more magnificent.

[Timo]

Yeah it was a quick dump out of lightroom (with a bit of noise reduction) and straight into autopano, i'll be farting around with it (and a few other shots) a bit later on when I have the time.

[Timo]

It was snowing heavily in the southern alps today so I decided to drive out with my brother to the Devil's Punchbowl falls in the middle of Arthur's pass. Unfortunately the snow didn't penetrate that far in, but the drive was well worth it regardless:

And for a sense of scale, my brother around 30m away from the falls bottom left:

and a lil' fall infront of the big one:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/August/IMG_3446.jpg

[Dwood]

Expoooooooosssssuuuuuureeeeee haha :D

[Siliconmaster]

Beautiful shots, man. Love that last one- small, yet elegant with the long exposure. Reminds me of those National Geographic pictures of waterfalls.

Also, New Zealand is gorgeous.

[Reaper Man]

Nice photos, just wish there was some detail in the sky, but I suppose that can't be helped without GND filters or HDR...

[Syuusuke]

Reapa, do you use GND filters?

[Timo]

Nice photos, just wish there was some detail in the sky, but I suppose that can't be helped without GND filters or HDR...

There was no detail to be had in the sky at all, it was just plain white (it was lightly snowing at the time too). Pretty unideal conditions really. I do own a cokin 3stop ND grad, but it sucks :[

[Reaper Man]

Reapa, do you use GND filters?
Nah, I'm tempted to get myself a set though, I always find myself wishing I had at least one.

[Timo]

Finally finished exams a few days ago, so i'm off with a few mates down to Milford Sound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milford_Sound), probably the most amazingly scenic parts of New Zealand. I've stolen my brother's 10-22mm as well, so I should have some epic vistas to share when I get back. Here's hoping the weather stays good - the sound receives over 6000mm of rain every year :x

[Con]

Awesome, looking forward to it :)

And my favourite from the trip, panorama of Queenstown:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/milford/Queenstown.jpg

At the moment these will look the best on a CRT monitor, and oversaturated/contrasty on your LCD (maybe). I was silly enough to somehow lose my colour calibration profile for my LCD monitors somehow, I might hire out a calibrator again so I can get these photos looking good on both screens. But right now i'm buttfuck tired after 1700kms of driving overall on little or no sleep -____-;

[Con]

I looked at those clouds and I said "whoa". The pano would have to be my favourite too.

[Futzy]

Oh gosh, the only reason I'd ever want to live with my mom again is so that I could travel to places and get some interesting shots.
Can I get the first two shots in >1080?

[InnerGoat]

nice pano timo^^

[Timo]

Ok, sorted out my monitor so these should look a little better:

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/milford/r2/IMG_4287.jpg
A Kea - really intelligent and curious, they love to rip rubber/hubcaps off of cars. Not many left though :[. It was legal to kill them up until 1986 since they kill sheep. All the farmers had to do is light a fire to attract them, and they'd literally hop on up and take a look down the barrel of their shotguns .___.

Lake Marian, sits in a hanging valley and is fed by glaciers. I've never swam in such cold water in my life :x. The water is only green due to reflections, it's not algal bloom or anything nasty.

[Futzy]

Beautiful stuff. I love it.

[Amit]

OMG, those are some of the best photos I've ever seen. The panos, specifically.

[Timo]

Thanks guys.

[InnerGoat]

this is most excellent Timo!

[Timo]

Thank you good sir!

Also the people (guys I went on the roadie with) in the bottom of the last panorama aren't dead, they're just sleepy.

[Corndogman]

Isn't that the place where Gandalf leaves Middle Earth?

Amazing shots Timo! Love the Pano's, especially the one of Queenstown, the contrasting colors look great.

[Nero]

Wow, I want to go outside right now and take photos.
DAMN.
Some of those photographs are priceless!

[Reaper Man]

I think some of your panos would look great in black and white.

[Limited]

Amazing pictures Timo. My parents went on a trip to NZ and they went on the same boat trip to Milford Sounds, they saw the dolphins following the boat. Small world Timo hah.

They also went to Lake Tekapo, in case you know where that is.

[Timo]

I think some of your panos would look great in black and white.

I would try, but I suck at converting things to B&W and trying to keep it looking great.

Thanks man. Basically if you come to NZ to see the sights, you go to Milford Sound and go on the ferry, so i'm not that surprised :p. We were intending to drive past Lake Tekapo on the way down to Queenstown, but we missed the turnoff and ended up driving down some country road passed a few dams instead :C

[Limited]

Thought I'd just post a quick video my parents took when they were on the boat of the same waterfall thats in Timo's picture.

[TeeKup]

I'm going to move to New Zealand damnit.

[Timo]

You should, i'm not leaving any time soon c:

[Cortexian]

Do you have that last one in 5760x1200 or larger variety?

[Timo]

Best I can do:

[jcap]

Hey Timo, do you have a slightly larger version of this one?

http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/milford/Queenstown.jpg

I see you have another version that has more stuff on the left (http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/milford/r2/Queenstown.jpg), but the height is less. I'm trying to get something that is like 4480x1080, or larger if possible. :)

[Timo]

Nope that's as wide as it gets i'm afraid.

[jcap]

How does the top one have a height of 1080, then? Is it just stretched, or was the 1000px high one just scaled down a little?

[Timo]

They've both been scaled down, the original height will be around 2400 pixels. Once I have time i'll recompile the panorama and try and get a 4480x1080 that still looks decent.

[Timo]

Or I could keep procrastinating and do it right now:
http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2010/milford/Queenstown2.jpg

e:sweet jesus what the fuck happened

I now have 2 new desktop images. That panorama is so wide they look totally different from each other.

Timo, I love you. Absolutely amazing shots.

[Timo]

Thanks, I love taking them

[Timo]

I seriously need a matching dual monitor setup so I can use some of these as wallpapers too :c

[Amit]

Yeah. You should start uploading them to interfacelift.com for schmucks like us.

[Timo]

Snow day! Snows about one or two days every four or so years here, finally woken up to a place where it snows!
http://i.imgur.com/DGlqY.jpg
:awesome:

[Limited]

Madness :D Its going to be 27 degrees here tomorrow and you have snow :D Made a snowman yet?

[Amit]

Christmas in July, bitches.

[TeeKup]

Aren't seasons essentially reversed in the southern hemisphere?

[Corndogman]

Can I get this one a little bigger (1920x1080) please? http://timo.modacity.net/pix/2011/catlinstrip/3.jpg

@TeeKup: Yes.

[Timo]

Well all the snow turned to ice overnight, turns out biking on ice is not nearly as fun as biking on snow D:

@Teekup: they sure are, nothing quite like Christmas on the beach in 30C weather.
@Corndogman: http://i.imgur.com/jESTk.jpg enjoy!

The biggest downside to the South Island are the straight roads, so bloody boring to get anywhere. Miss having to drive through a few gorges to get anywhere :(. And it is, damn that's an old photo!

I would have uploaded them in full-res goodness but the hdd holding my ftp's user/pass has blown up.


Good fuck I want to live in your country.

You really should.

e: NZ's gay marriage bill just passed it's first reading through parliment at a vote of 78-40, if that helps

is there a program that loops 360 panned images together, so you can seemlessly spin right around?

[Timo]

Yeah there's a few around, i'd have to upload it to my website to get it to work though (like these ones here: http://timo.modacity.net/Panoramas/). I'm not aware of any image hosting services that do it.

Went snowboarding on my birthday, was awesome (not me in the pic). The lake behind him is the same lake you can see if the previous photos, which were taken from the hill that is above his head. The alluvial fan at the base of this photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/timo12/7885753910/lightbox/) is just below the tiny island in the middle of the lake!
