Looking forward to trying out the Pentax 645Z for a wedding I have in April and then, probably, the Arri Amira for a wedding I've videoing the next week.

Nice shots, on the 'theme' of black coloured birds, we had a couple of Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos in our apple tree this evening, but I was too slow getting the camera before they moved on...Re the above . Have just learnt how to post photos on here . Yay for me. Now have to learn to be able to write on them with out messing up

I am the devil that you forgot
Went out friday night for a bit of soul searching and photography. The location was a lookout between the two towns of Walker Flat and Wongulla on the River Murray. Crystal clear night and awe inspiring, if only I could get these damn stars in focus better. Also forgot my torch to brighten the foreground up a bit.
Well you sure don't see stars like that where I currently live (surfers paradise)

Nice composition, with the road leading into the frame.

I'm currently undergoing the huge job of getting all my albums onto Flickr.. Here's a few randoms that I've already loaded:

The light can be tricky with buildings as you're pretty much at the mercy of the sun, timing can be everything. A little earlier or later and the shadows wouldn't be so much from behind.

Again, unfortunately for you the time of day means the front of the building is in shadow, any attempt to get the exposure better on the building would likely wash out the sky. A bit of a play around with photoshop or similar might help. The power lines are also a little distracting, a slightly different angle may have helped, but that's not always possible. Again, people cleverer than me could possibly edit out the power lines with photoshop etc.
There's are all from the same day... About 3 degrees iirc

I love that 2nd one. It's ridiculously cool. And the light in the last one works a treat The Dice Man.

I think what you are looking for to get proper exposure of the building and sky is a graduated neutral density filter - they are a filter that is darker on one side and lighter on the other - they are often used by landscape/cityscape photographers to balance bright sky with the foreground. There's also a tool on adobe lightroom that has a similar effect for use in post processing.
Thanks AA. I've got about 20 different shots of both those subjects... Really hard to nail down a favorite.
Looks like the Canon 5Ds is set to be announced next week.

Being that I shot horse races for three years I feel like we should've met at some stage.
