Just a quick poll how many of you use aRGB or sRGB? I've read that most photo labs use sRGB and the web use this format. If anyone has a particular preference for one of the standards it would be great to hear from.
Apologies guys, I am forced to sit this one out due to family commitments down south.
It's a shame, because since the resounding success I had with the RB67, I decided my ideal camera for street and crowds would be a Linhof 4x5 monorail...

So I packed up and chose plan B, which was this cool tree lined street in Clovelly called Chesterfield St, which looks spooky at night when lit up.

I'm really into that shot Chris - I keep coming back to it.
Smelly, I don't think I will be in for an early 25th. You could, however, go to the Anzac Day parade in the early morning, then take photos at Mt Wilson in the afternoon.

Thanks James,
A little later on I drove to another spot and forgot I had the disabled the automatic headlight off feature of the car and got a flat battery and had to call the NRMA. Lucky the car cranked straight over and didn't need a new battery. Only problem is I had to drive around for 30 minutes while it fully charged again. The things we go through for photos

Greg,
I will have an early start (4am) on the Anzac Day and I don't think I can do Mount Wilson in the afternoon. It looks like that it's going to be a whole day activity, so I may as well stay until the sunset ceremony. To me, Anzac Day only happens once a year. I know you going to have a late finish on the 24th (lucky I am not a doctor ), why don't you sleep in and join us later in the day?!
For Mount Wilson, we may do it the weekend after (I think we put down Sat 30/4 tentatively), but if that doesnt suit you, we may do it on the Sunday if that's ok with the rest of us here (ok with me obviously). What do you think?
Zane, I think we better get there earlier than 4. I can't find any pictures of the morning ceremony and how "large" the crowds would be so it might involve finding street parking (probably going to be made into clearways everywhere) and then pitching a tripod somewhere.
I don't think I'll get much sleep time out of the Sunday night...
