I have the 45 and 17, going to be getting the 12 and the 75 some time soon. I dont hardly pick up my cannon rig anymore now since I got my OMD. I am thinking about the new 17 F1.8 but I dont really like how the edges soften up so much unless you subject is dead center of the frame from some of the samples I have seen looks like you some compression as well when shooting wide open.

love the new OMD. but Im a GH2 shooter, I was part of the original hacking on the cams did beta testing for the driftwood hacks. Just finished a feature film with that cam and just the 14mm and 45mm. plus a few odd ball lenses here and there. 1 year long shoot and the GH2 never skipped a beat or didnt deliver. and Im used to shooting RED. but not anymore :)

Here are some photos I took at a recent shoot that I did with some members from our local car group here in Auburn.


























Unfortunately this is what happened to the g37 just yesterday :(

Theres some great shots in here!

Can't wait to try and take some good ones of my own rides with my first camera, Nikon D3100.

[spike68]

Thank you!
I actually shot this with a d5100 using a mix of the kit lens, 50mm f1.8, and an 85mm f1.4.

I recently just traded in that camera for a T3i. I do more video than photo, which Cannon accells in that area as opposed to Nikon.

Looking forward to seeing some of your shots.

How good is the T3i for video? I have heard it to be not so great.

In comparison to the D5100, the T3i just straight up wins with video. Mainly cause the d5100 wont let you control exposure or shutter speed and whatnot. It pissed me off so much. Obviously the T3i lets you manually control everything AND it has the ability to shoot at 60 fps. Im also more impressed with the way cannon sensors respond to light, granted the video is edited in post, but it still something to take into consideration.

I'm always amazed by Neils rig shots and his photography in general is an inspiration to me. I couldnt take any more of having a disappointing rig which never got used. So i've upgraded to carbon fibre poles!

This first shot was literally the first shot I took with the carbon fibre - the shots I took were basically to test out the carbon fibre. Because I was mostly concentrating on the camera the wheel is facing the wrong way... but it was the quickest one to edit for the purposes of a test shot!







Now to step my game up!

Your watermark is great, and doesn't take anything away from the photo. It actually makes them more interesting!

[spike68]

Very nice man! Im always praising Neil for his skills. They definitely encourage me to pick up my camera and take some more photos, but i gotta say, those rig shots are sweet!

Thanks! Thats what I was going for! Its only taken me about 4 years to get my page going. I'm also a photographer for Aatomotion - we try to intergrate the watermark into the photo. People often ask for photos with the watermark because they love the logo!

For example on this one I made it into part of the shadow :D



Or in some of the smoke

Thanks! Rig shots are a bit of a weak point for me, but I do love them! I'm pretty sure everytime i post in this thread i mention Neil and his skills!
