Re: My system.

I like your other pics on flickr. Did you use a Polaroid filter on some of those, in particular the one with the gorgeous sky and water? What body and lenses? BTW, the hi-fi looks great, esp that amp...

Hi Fr0g

How do you find the acoustics with that wood floor ? We're in the process of doing up a house and I do fancy wood floors - but I reckon carpet may be better sounding... would be interested in your thoughts.

cheers

Roger

Cheers! You probably mean the HDR shots... 3 exposures blended and tonemapped. (google HDR)

I mainly use my Panasonic TZ3 or Fuji E900 but I also have a Canon EOS 350D +18-55 Kit lens and a Canon 60mm EFS macro and Tamron 28-300.

Yes the amp is the crown for the moment....Wink

Its fine SO LONG as you get a rug... makes quite a difference. And I have been told the slopey ceiling is perfect for accoustics...

Heh. It was dark when I took the pics, so grabbed it... Then left it there when I took the long range pic :=)
Also... Its not a bachelor pad...although my missus does complain its a bit blokey.. Its the upstairs lounging room...The living room is downstairs Smile

Re: My system.

It's nice looking room for sure. A third of my room's ceiling slopes too, but I have a 12 year old carpet in my room that's seen better days, must replace it one of these days. Must get an upgrade for my 7SE's DAC sometime too.

Have a Canon EOS400D with Canon EF 50 f/1.8 & Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses; could do with a macro lens. I've not tried HDR yet, must do so.

The EF-S 60mm is a really nice lens, but could do with being a little longer imo...its murder to get focus up close without a tripod. examples of mine...

Re: My system.

Yes, the upstairs lounging room in my place is also known as the toilet!

Suppose I could try and get comfortable lying down amongst the cardboard boxes, dustbin liners and glass fibre insulation in the loft. But there's no sockets up there and I'd probably get bored after staring at the light coming in between the gaps in the tiles for an hour or so.

fr0g.....you just need a couple of new remotes and a sofa. This is what we use

Otherwise - nice one.

Re: My system.

That EF-S 60mm and your pics are superb. I use a Nikon D100 with 28-80mm and 70-300mm Nikon ED lenses but never get anything as crisp as that. Will be sampling a motion stability 300mm soon when I visit some air shows Smile Bring on the Vulcan... Laughing out loud
