It's been a while since I've posted in here

For those who don't know, I'm a photojournalism student from the University of Iowa. I'm currently taking a semester abroad at the University of Tasmania in Australia. I've been here for about a month, but unfortunately haven't done much traveling. Anyway, here's some pics from my travels and daily life in Hobart:

Somewhere right in the center of the state:

Thanks.

I've got a Canon 5D. I normally use my Canon 50mm f/1.4, and the wide stuff is with a Canon 17-40. I've got a Sigma 24-70 as well, but I don't believe any of those are examples from it.

I like these photos. A lot of them have some significant vignetting. Was this intentional?

For the most part. A lot of it is caused by my Cokin filter holder when I used my GND setup.

Any chance you have a 1920x1200 version of this one?

You have some nice shots here. I wish I was somewhere more photogenic.

i like your work! post more

Any secrets to getting those good nighttime shots? Even with a fast lens I'm not confident I'd be able to manage without a tripod.

Absolutely, but I don't have my external HDD on me now..I'll try to post it up tonight.

The stuff in the bar/club? Some of those were shot with an external flash, which freezes motion. The ones without flash were just taken with my steady hands. I've found I can shoot as slow as 1/30 at 50mm without terrible camera shake. Try to brace your elbow/shoulder on a wall or table while you're shooting in dark spots. It'll give you a little more leeway on shutter speeds. Too slow though and the subject will move too much.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I'll post up some more tonight.

Thanks, but that's only 900x700.

OH god I hate photobucket. Sorry, I'll get it up tomorrow morning, I left my external at home again and don't have net there.
