Ozbow

Looks like it's been a bit quite around here. Are you still all taking photo's ? I'm still shooting film in this day and age. I mostly use my Bronica Medium format for all photos that matter. Everything from 645 to 6x7. The fridge is now stocked with Fujifilm Velvia 50 and heaps of Kodak Portra 400 ...

Hi Mate, this is an awesome prize and I encourage everyone to give it a go.

That's one awesome looking bow Bob. Well done mate.

If you have any more like this on the work bench let me know.

Mate, I'd grab these bows but I'm a lefty. Bugger.

Excellent mate, really enjoyed it. Very nice arrows.

Mick

Hey Bob, looks awesome mate. Only the arrow rest is on the wrong side

Mick

Awesome looking arrows mate. Well done.

Mick

Jeff, what Mick Smith said. Awesome job mate over the years. I feel a sense of sadness. Life goes on.

Don't forget to stay traditional and run a roll of film through the camera.

Eddie and Lewis, thank you for keeping the tradition alive.

RAAF Mick

Awesome job Mark.

Hi All, This is certainly becoming an interesting thread. As someone who shoots professionally for a stock library and the occasional wedding or commercial assignment, I find that most folks don't want to see thousands of photo's of the same thing. This of course is subject to the requirements of th...

Very Cool mate, Awesome Arrows. Excellent Photography.

Mick

Traditional Photography...... like Traditional Archery is close to my heart. As someone who has submitted thousands of images (slides) to stock libraries over the years, photographed numerous weddings, (mostly Medium Format), I'm still finding I love the quality of film even more in this high end tu...

Trish, this is a sad day indeed. Condolences to Andrew's family and all of you at HVTA. We will miss him.

RAAF Mick

That's Awesome Jeff. I still have the back quiver you made for me around 15 years ago or so. The only one I've used, still looks like new. Well almost.

Mick

Yes, Ted Mitchell awesome bloke, I had a letter published in Archery Action Magazine in the "Ask Ted" Colum back in 1984. Great advice given by a great archer. It was the same year I bought my first Longbow a "Banshee Razorback" from Paul Wheller in Kyabram Vic. Still have it tod...

Bob, just wanted to say I had the chance to check out one of you bows at the shoot, very nice my friend. The talk in the camp was very good indeed. Congratulations on a fine bow.

Like you said Bob it was another awesome shoot. Had heaps of fun, lost / broke about 8 arrows, run out of arrows on the 60 sec hunter round. Completly missed the running pig round with five arrows. Thanks to the Gympie Field Archers again for a top shoot. So let's see all the photo's, I know there o...

My two KA-BARS.

Awesome Mate. Congratulations to you and family.

I think the late arvo sun has saturated the colour of the wood. It didn't look that yellow/orange when I'd taken the pics. Maybe I'd better check the camera settings next time.

Mick

Hi All I've been carting this bow stave around for the last ten years or so. I found it in the shed tied to some bamboo. (Yes, I forgot it was even there) :oops: Should be dried out by now I'd reckon. :biggrin: I was planing on making a start over the xmas break to make some kind of selfbow from it....

Kim

Looks great mate. Bang on focus. What model Canon are you using?

Mick

I can see what you are trying to do. Looks good. Now if Ican only find the time to try something like that myself. I have also seen some very nice HDR work around as well. I would love to give that ago.

Mick

Otis, I reckon the lens was about 20-30cm from the little drum. I'll get back to you on the minimum focal distance. Would like to get out in the scrub with it to see how it goes.

Mick

Hi Jeff, I think the Sigma should proform well. I know the Nikon equivalent is worth way to much. Most likely as is the Canon.

Mick

Hi All. I gave the Sigma 105 f2.8 macro lens a whirl today. It's been in the camera bag for so long I almost forgot it was there. Should make for a good Portrait lens as well. These are jpegs straight from the camera.

Mick

Very nice shot's again. Love the frog.

Mick

Holy smokes that is some very nice sunset pics there. Awesome colours.

Mick

Hey, very nice pics. That Canon does an awesome job.

Mick

Hi all. Thought I might post some photo's taken with my Nikon D300 and SB-800 Speedlight. Just trying out some daylight balanced fill flash. After using traditional camera's (Medium Format and 35mm) for years, I was a little on the slow side to try out the new technology. I have to say I'm liking it...
