absolute weapons those cruisers,,,, fuel economy on them is apparently very ordinary! One fella I know that has one took it back, he was told it'll loosen up and get better mileage once it hits the 100 000km mark! ouch...

Decent tyres also make a massive difference on the dirt no matter what you drive!

a good set of mud tyres help, doing it in a 4wd ute isnt the smartest as they have no weight over the back end, they like to "float" away at the rear.

There was some dicey moments, strange feeling your wheels spinning at 100kmh and your not moving, they just keep trying to dig in...all good fun though as long as yur not by yourself!

Mario said it took a full load of fuel (100 litres?) to get to Brisbane (600km) towing a boat and going a tad fast.

One of the other guys was telling us how his mates were caught up north during the Aussies day floods earlier in the year. They made up a poly pipe snorkel and went through a crossing where the water was an inch or two under the roof. One guy had to sit on the roof and directed the driver with his feet, cause the guy driving couldn't actually see out the front windscreen.

not too bad, depending if he ran both tanks...if he did, well thats not very good mileage :) (close to 200 litres)
But, It is a V8 so you wouldnt really give a rats about it! (as I do with my V8's, If I wanted economy I would have bought a Kia or Prius! lol

Depth of field

For those of you asking... I took an intro class with this couple a year or two back, amazing how much you can learn in just a day when it's broken down into simple terms...

This has to be one of the better shots I've seen on DOF:

www.mckayphotographyacademy.com

click "other/Weekly Tips"
scroll down where he compares F1.4 to F22 and you get the idea of the extreme ends of F-stop

Good luck with it. Don't imagine it will be easy. I just recently did a "Single in" challenge for December where I had to use the one lens for the whole month, posting a picture each day.

I used a 31mm prime lens. What a challenge that was... I needed a break by the end of it. But forced me to take some creative shots I had not done before so I was happy with the results. Also a great way to get to know your lens. Will probably do it again in February with a different lens.

I only have the 35mm prime lens so it's certainly gonna be interesting. It's definitely a lot harder than I was expecting.

Nicely done, care to share your setup?
Click to expand...

Hahaha, thanks.

No setup really, it's just a white sheet of card stock on my kitchen table with the halogen light from above for the lighting.

Camera is a Nikon D7000
Lens is a Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G Prime
This was handheld, manual, spot metering.
