I agree with James, what mushrooms did you consume when I walked away taking the IR shots
Oh, my lens is now gone.... sent COD to Cairns... hopefully it'd get there by the weekend and I get my cheque quick.. *fingers crossed* ... forgot to bring it to work yesterday.
I listen to some of that on 2GB when I get bored... but didn't find listening to him any useful for me... it's more for "dummies" just warming to P&S digicams.
No I don't know him but I wish i did. I like the way he alters his photos. If i have to listen to am radio my choice is 702 ABC for the reason I dont have to listen to bullshit ad's and product placements and of course good reporting.

I think there's a need for another outing though... maybe not the drift day but something else...
So what outings are you guys going to do?
Toronga Zoo may be a good one now as someone suggested previously. The sun gets low in the sky from around 3pm, you can get some quality light for about 2 hours before the zoo closes
I think the ticket is around $30 per head
But then I can't do it, unless you guys want to do it in mid to late June.

Don't get me started on everything that is wrong with Sydney AM talkback radio... oh my blood boils!
Zoo trip sounds good. However I'm busy for the next two Saturdays.
Do you think it will be possible to photograph this:

ONE of the most spectacular meteor displays of the year is on show this week for those up early enough to see it.
As many as 50 meteors an hour would charge into the Earth's atmosphere as it passed through the eta Aquarids -- the trail of gravel and ice left in the wake of Halley's Comet, said Vince Ford at the Mount Stromlo Observatory near Canberra.
Activity this year would peak in the northeastern sky a couple of hours before dawn tomorrow before the meteors tapered off, Mr Ford said yesterday.
``Usually these travel fairly fast, and because these are in the morning, we are meeting them head-on,'' he said.
``Sometimes you get yellows and greens, rather than just the normal orange streak, depending on the sort of gravel you run into and if it's mostly ice or a little bit of gravel mixed in.''
Halley's Comet has swept through the inner solar system every 76 years for centuries; and every autumn, the Earth travels through the comet's trail of particles, the largest of which are the size of a small pea.
These slam into the Earth's atmosphere at such a speed that they heat it to a glow, creating a meteor shower visible without a telescope.
Mr Ford said not all meteor showers were visible from the southern hemisphere, but Australians would be able to get a good view of the eta Aquarids.
``It's worth getting up to have a look at,'' he said.
The next major meteor show will be the Perseids in August. ...Show more →
