Nice colour there!! Macro shots of insects are really tough. The shot may improve if you can focus on the bee's eye, but...that's tough. I don't have the talent to do it myself.

Bugs! yuck!

2 days in the sun shooting frisbees has turned my skin from pale yellow into a crispy golden brown. I'm good enough to eat!

Now you want a handle for the Head rotation cinch . If so I'll copy mine and you will be on your way.

As for the other head you said you had issues with just pop it in a box and I'll drill out the offending thread plug the hole with an insert and dril and

Maurie, let's do it during the winter trip down.

Yeh I came across that some time ago. It's like the photography ban at Ayers Rock. I can't imagine how they would enforce that. I remember reading an article in the Capture magazine saying Ken Duncan is working at removing such rubbish laws.

Anyway here are a few drag racing photos I took at the WSID on Saturday:

Which scanner did you get Ed? (I might have missed a post or 3...)

From the archive of James' Catalogue of Fine Photographic Blunders, volume #6: The worst thing I have done to TMax P3200 was to use it in Ilfosol S.

I have done a couple more tmz since in tmax developer for 12 or 13 mins with much better results. I like the stuff [ a small sample ]

I bought the Canon 9950F. I just bought another couple of rolls of tmax 3200, so all I have to do now is find somewhere to use them!

No Authority in the world can control this activity, for the following reasons

1 Photon energy from any light soruce is reflected by objects all around us and the authourities do not own this energy.
2 A Camera is a device that by its very nature records this reflected energy as a graph of both light and colour intensity either on a film medium or digitally.
3 This recorded graph of various light and colour levels just happens to form an image.
( Great for us )

In the words of Pauline Hansen "Please Explain" how any authority can preclude any amateur of professional scientist from conducting experiments in how light and colour behave in given circumstances.


Technically all we are doing in measuring the amount of photon energy as light wavelengths that as it happens can be focused to form an image.

I can feel another FM meet coming on.. :P

Btw, Chris, is there all that much to photograph at the drags at a quick rate or do you have to wait a while for cars to roll out? I'm not a real fan of drag races (I find it quite pointless to point a car straight and hold it straight).

I like the 2nd shot the most.

Did you get out for a sunrise on the weekend Zane?

I got down to Cronulla for it, here are a couple of preliminary results:

No James...lucky I didn't, I've been too sick to do sunrises for the last few days..already skipped work yesterday.

But having seen your shots, I know that I missed a very interesting sunrise....really amazing sky there, especially the first one. I like the composition of the first and colour of both. I've been to Cronulla a couple of times. Problem with Cronulla is that the landscape is bit too flat, it's difficult to have a centre of interest...you know what i mean.

James, those shots are excellent. If I could physically get up at 5am, I'd probably hop back into bed

Which country do you think has the cheapest camera equipment for sale Hong Kong, Singapore, S Korea or Japan? This can be new or used.
