Thanks Simon.
It's worth the effort. Very busy, even early in the morning. Great range of fresh foods and deli-type goods. Traditional bakeries, German sausages, garden veges etc.

Don't forget the camera, but there is no great opportunity for spending too much time over a shot - it's too busy. Candid shooting reigns.

I like all of them. They are natural and tell their stories.

Hey Trevor! Nice to meet you that day when you came just to see me at Photo Continental. :wink: :lol:

Anyway, I haven't been to the powerhouse for a while now and that band photo reminded me of a cabaret restaurant I went to on the weekend, Draculas down at the Gold Coast. Of course the reminder was inversed because instead of priest and nuns they were vampires. :|

Hiya Grev

Yes, it was great to meet up.
Just before I spoke to you, I bumped into a mate at the front counter. We discussed our photographic requirements for a while, and he said to me "If you need any help, that guy is really good." Pointing to you! So your fame has spread far and wide! :D

Wow, I'm awesome then! Yes, nice to have met you too, and I forgot what I was doing, think I was helping out with binoculars or video cameras... I can only remember setting up the one of the Epson printers. :| :lol: And yeah, I have to mingle with everything, even the complete dark side. :cry:

And speaking of dark sides, the Olympus E3 is an amazing camera, AF speed is very quick, built in shake reduction, f2 zooms! Definitely very underrated camera.
