Re: BHP Billiton ACCO
It does , this type of image is achieved by using the full focal length of the lens (in this case L series 70-200 F2. and also using the full F stop at 2.8 (can be achieved with 5.6) , gets a nice DOF effect (depth of field) and because its on an elevated level an almost tilt shift effect.written_ficton wrote:Is it me or does it look like a model?
Great pics!
Achieving this however requires distance between you and the subject.
Some other examples utilising this style but not elevated,
Re: BHP Billiton ACCO

Re: BHP Billiton ACCO
Thanks , I have images of that some place , out of all the trucks I have seen sorry to sat Queensland's is the only truck ,this one
It has the ability to refill the BA cylinders , that is make its own air for the cylinders, not just swap cylinders or decant from large into small cylinders, seems to be the only one in Australia that does this (happy to be corrected)
Also our command truck is fairly special also
And I am not just being biased has so much crap on it I doubt it will all get used , Melbourne and Adelaide's Buses look cool but both had major issues and both are well, buses after all , too large Adelaides can only drive on certain roads, NSW had the right idea and its been around for years but alas its age means a lot of out of date stuff at a guess

Re: BHP Billiton ACCO
Matt. Not 100% sure what you mean by "make its own air", but if you mean that it draws air from the surrounding enviroment, then the vic CFA BA vans do this. They are able to refill cylinders on site by drawng air from the sorrounding enviroment. I also beleive the BA trailers in WA also have the same function.matt_au_70 wrote:It has the ability to refill the BA cylinders , that is make its own air for the cylinders, not just swap cylinders or decant from large into small cylinders, seems to be the only one in Australia that does this (happy to be corrected)

Re: BHP Billiton ACCO
Correct. They have an inbuilt compressor that can do 4 (?) cylinders at a time. The compressor runs off three phase electricity.observer wrote:I also beleive the BA trailers in WA also have the same function.
