The lens I'd really like for its flexibility and clarity considering the focal length is the Sigma 500-800 F/5.6 I have had a demo of 1 of these for a day and WANT one . Wildlife isn't same with this baby I tell you.

sigh oh the wish lish grows yet again.

With that length, you might need to back it off a bit. Might be too much zoom! hahahaha!

Kids are very hard to shoot, i've attempted them, but not many turn out well except for the candids. I think u've done very well getting the child's attention. Is the outside of the right eye not in focus?

What do you guys think of this portrait's background? Is it too distracting? General rule to avoid such for portrait?

Richard, not enough contrast but it looks OK to have the coat hanger in the back. Her black jacket looks ... I dunno.. greeny...

Smelly... is that you??

Actually, I think the shot works because of the context that it's in. I think it's very nice.

Hey Ed, this is the NEW me! :P

Seriously, I think I'm seeing things in a new light and probably understand colour profiles better too.

Thanks for the comment. I've added +30 for contrast with the raw processing already! I agree there is a bit of green tint now that u've mentioned it... i need to get my monitor calibrated.

Hunter valley tour: A friend is organising a day tour of the Hunter Valley and some Wineries. I'll be going, even though I don't drink.

The date is the sunday on the Queen's Birthday long weekend: 12th June. Cost is approx $60 per head.

Let me know if you're interested.

Um, the whole photo is soft, but that might have been the effect that Zane was after. I quite like it, actually. Kinda dreamy.

hi all.
The new compact drive pd70x is coming out soon some time this month. the specs sound awesome, has a busrt write speed of 13MB/s and sustained at 9.5MB/s that means a 1gb card can be transfered in under 2 minutes seriously FAST!!!!! The battery life has been increased (one charge downloads 50Gb) and batteries recahrge quicker. You can format the hard drive with out the need for a computer and also upgrade the firmware with out having to plug the unit to a computer.
Sounds wicked dont have any prices yet. But if anyone is going up to brisbane you should see it on the Exeltek soloutions stand.
