p.83 #1 · Hi Sydney


The clouds cleared up by 4:45am... But maybe bright lights of a car park blocked my view. I was standing in the car park of Carlingford Court getting old and gathering condensation on the lens filter and hood but I sorta can get a view if it's around 30°+ on the east from my place.. so I might just do that tomorrow rather than drive out and staking out a spot.

Was there any news reports of sightings etc?

don't think so... but on a totally unrelated topic, this has to be one of the most pathetic promotions I've ever seen:

http://www.clubepson.com.au/competitions/data/2005_800041/promotion.asp

spend an enormous amount of money and get a free pack of paper. Gee, I'm there!!!

Good that they finally launch the Epson P2000 in Australia...will it be out of stock everywhere from the very first day?!

That Epson R1800 A3 printer looks impressive

My friend's $200 Epson A4 printer produces some really decent quality prints...something to think about too The R1800 is around $1,050

The film was e-100vs. I have to say that I like the colours that came out of the film more than the 1D2. You should use up your film before it expires! Otherwise you'll get really funky colours and Smelly will bag you out!

I've used the bronica for portraits before. Results aren't too bad, but e-100 is better off being used for other stuff.

I see...really great colour with the E100VS. I think it's got a strong but neutral colour. Velvia is a bit warm thu

Some of my films are expired...

This is one of the better ones http://www.shortcourses.com/

Peter iNovas ebooks are also very good http://www.digitalsecrets.net/

I've used both when I first started in digital.

Nice work Ed. I gotta try e100vs one day, I've only shot fujifilm slide before.

I have some expired RHPIII in 120 thats a little over 1yr out of date but has been fridged constantly. I wouldn't use it for anything that mattered, but at $4/ea, why not I say

Yellow car looks good from the front. If only I had lots of money to spend on cars...

e100vs is my favourite trannie film. It's not so great for skin tones, but it's not horrible, either. I still have 1 roll of vs left, and 4 rolls of e100, which I still think is pretty good.

Yeah, why not? Did you end up getting a medium format kit?

The yellow one can't be driven on the roads anyhow. It's not complianced though it's not that hard. I'd love to buy one though. Lovely Japanese spec car.

Did anyone see any news about the meteor shower? didn't seem to make the media at all.

The gigantic wing on the blue one is a bit off-putting. I like the look of the yellow one a lot more.

Finally I saw it!!! It was slow moving and was the same brightness as a star. It must have came in on a very small angle because it lasted for ages and ages. I didn't have a camera out then but I did for the smoke trail it produced. But I did also see a fast moving one like you see on cartoons.

17mm shot (excuse the phone line and the side of the house)

Yes, I didn't need to travel anywhere to see this one!
