The Incredibles girl is very nice.. and the guy with the bottle in the back of the pants... probably the best 2 or so of the lot.
I think the worse thing I noticed was that because of the varying focal lengths that we have to use for people close up and far away made it hard to get everything so it made it hard to focus on their float itself rather than just the people. Was good evening overall. Now how do we get press passes? I don't want to be squashed!!!
IS was on mode 1. The same settings I used for the Mardi Gras. The strong shadows made things hard to get it right and the barricades they used as well as the lunge people with their tiny cameras meant I had no choice but to stick it out and push that barricade out a bit. On the last few shots on the gallery, I had no ladder, no sympathy from others and it was nothing but a shXtfight for both advanced amatuers and professionals videomen and photographers
For the morning arrival, the press got the worse position facing directly at the sun with Mary in the shadow. I don't think they got a good shot of it all even with fill in flash.

What mode do u usually use with your flash photos Ed?
It depends on how much available light there is. If I'm using the flash for fill then I'll use Av. If the flash is the main light then I'll use manual mode.
I can't believe how many silly people use the camera phones to take photos. It's not like you can get any decent quality out of them. Maybe couldn't even work out who is who unless someone told you. My gf has a pic of Princess Mary about the same distance the above pic was to her. I could make it out that it was her but that was about it. Maybe I am a snob as well.
I feel cold all of a sudden by this sign of affection...
Just having a look at the SMH's web site and the photos of Mary... is it that good to have things cropped and in a weird proportion for the sake of fitting it in some page?
Going by that, I don't think I did too badly. This pic just made her look like a ghost.
And I must have been on TV though panned fairly quick from what they showed on the news.
Zane, those pics look a bit over sharpened though.... a bit of halo-ing starting to show up especially in the background. They look like that to me.
