Thanks Mav, and Al.

Al, I took a bag of gear with me, including the macro etc, but just left the 70-200mm f/2.8 on all day. Worked quite well I thought.

very nice spearmint, a very versatile lens by the looks

Here's a couple from my recent trip OS.

Not sure about the colours as I'm doing post-processing on a laptop with a TN screen. As inferred in a post in the Chat thread, I'm on the lookout for a good external monitor. Front runner ATM is a Dell Ultrasharp - comes with good recommendations from a mob who do professional printing.

Loving this one mate !

Thanks Gutty, Port Stephens is one of my fav spots to shoot sescapes.

Cheers Magnum72, I am currently without a camera or lenses due to buying a new home in Canberra. Hopefully I willl be able to pick up a new body and lenses next year. These shots were taken with a Canon 1D mk 4 using a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 lens. I have a large stock of unprocessed images to tide me over till I get some new gear.

You've sold your Mark IV?

Also, nice pics gutty (love the low perspective) and Mav...

Edit: Also wondering if anybody in Syd is going to post up some hifi porn pics?

Sometimes life gets in the way of pleasure and unfortunately we needed the money for buying our home in Canberra.

Probably look at getting a 5D M3 nest year.

sensible choice balancing pleasure and life.. Kudos.. And congrats!! ...

Next year maybe they'd have the mk4 out

Got a offer on a 100/2.8 macro (non L) that I can't refuse...

Such a luxury to be able to focus this close to a subject, closer than the rated 31cm minimum focusing distance... Too bad fishes aren't trained to sit still ...

Also shot my computer monitor with this lens, and indeed it is resolving enough to pick the RGB sub-pixels!

I wandered around the Festival of Italian Motorcycles on Sunday

While processing some of the images, I decided to have a play with cropping. I could've cropped closer, but these felt not much subject left to view

Image #1

Original Image

First Crop

Second Crop

Image #2

Original

First Crop (and yes I rotated the image a little)

Second Crop

These were hand held using a zoom lens, next I'll try using a tripod and prime lens to see how much of a difference it makes.

This was also shot on Sunday using the small zoom while walking to the festival, and cropped quite a bit.

Thanks for looking...
