Hi all - first batch of pics from Australia Day is up :)

http://sheepie.smugmug.com/gallery/372276

All taken with either kit lens or the 70-300G. EXIFS should all be visable :)

Still haven't filled a 1GB card in a day, even shooting RAW. :shock:


Let me know what you think, and if you don't think anything, then maybe at least they are enough to provide some creative spark :)

(Am I making any sense today?) arrrgghghhhhh!

...too hot ....fried brain circuits ...too many people

Sheepie,
You've done a good job today!
I'm at work still, another 1.1/2 hours to go, final stage of backup.
Where're my Roulettes? anyone got them over Sydney sky/ airspace?

I hope you're paying yourself penalty rates :)

Contract works, yes of course and it finally accumulates into the "Director bonusses" at the end.

6 & 7 are good, but numbers 1 & 8 are better. If it wasn't Australia Day I'd say number 1 is my favourite. I really like the composition.

I'm also at work... No directors bonuses just nice perks like travel and conference dinners (next week at Parlement house)

I love number 1! that is what I call good composition!

Sheepie I go for number 1 as well. My only comment would be to make the rear building a little more out of focus in PS

Sheepie, the 'thousand words worth' still aren't making themselves known what festivities took place.

I'd vote for #1 as favourite as well.

Nice to know what I would haves seen if I had been in Sydney and not working. Good shots Sheepie. I like no 1 the best also. BTW we lowly workers only get time and a half for working public holidays. No director bonuses either. BTW any of the Melbourne gang go out in the heat and capture some of our celebrations?
Regards
Meic

Hi Sheepie,Good pics and was too hot to go out today here, but anyhow is it #4 the heli almost looks like you got dust bunnies on the ccd or something might have paid to clone the spots out.
Cheers
John

Very strange - I haven't had any problems accessing the smugmug stuff from anywhere I've tried, and I can't think of any reason why ZoneAlarm would cause any problems.
Had you had any problems up to then? After?

Thanks for the feedback :)

I agree with everyone on this #1 is the best. except along with MHD, I would have preferred a blurred background
