G'day all,
Just getting around to some processing... Haven't even started the stuff from the recent Otways workshop thing, and just done a few from the meet which was a BLAST

Thanks so much to all those that partook of the frivolity, had a great time thanks to the hospitality of lotsa friendly people

Anyway, I stuffed up the pano and couldn't join the left one as the boats had moved too much so I'll have another go later and do the extra PP to maybe edit the boats a bit on the far left image so I can have the other coast line etc in the final image... Using the 12-24, hubba hubba...


And of course I can't help myself and ended up at Toronga Zoo with the other animal nuts What a team
Pussycat licking his lips after milk for breakky:


Friendly Kookie (who I think secrelt enjoyed the attention):


An interesting couple:


Say cheeeeese:

Hi Mudder - really like the pano! Did I get you right when you say you used the 12-24? I wouldn't have thought of using that for a pano! What do you use to join with?

Glad you enjoyed the zoo - it's a fairly unique spot eh - and it's slowly updating itself into what I think is a pretty good zoo - for the animals, and us humans!

Great to meet you (and others) at the weekend, hoping to meet more in future events

Have you heard from your zoo girlfriend Mudder? Mudder was chatting up a couple of ladies at the zoo on Sunday.

The pano i sgreat. Always a fan of the animal pics and that Snow Leopard really posed hey. Great pics!

Errr ummm, yes the Zoo was Fun Nicole, not sure which direction the chatting was going sometimes tho

Was a great fun day though, would love to spend a morning just haning around the big cat enclosures... Could get some really terrific images in those enclosures, different to what you get used to...

The pano cracked me up tho, something went wrong (they were just quickie hand-held jobbies) check out the bent pier in the middle

G'day mate,
Two #$!@ing runs we get done by!!!! I almost cried....

Ahh well... anyway, yep 12-24, too lazy to change lenses up there, used autostich mate, these shots were were REALL quick hand-held and I stuffed up on the horizon badly on a couple and I think that made it bend a few bits to make it fit

Fun though... Cheers mate.

Andrew, I would be pretty happy with the top shot

some nice pics Mudder... I had to think thrice about the pano before realising that you took it from the top of the pylon... (guess where I'm going for the first time next week )...

It was great to meet you on Saturday evening... I'm starting to wish that I'd come along to the zoo on Sunday...

Hehe..

Nice shots Mudder..

Between the Zoo Tiger Lady, the Zoo volunteer and the baggage lady at the airport I'm surprised you wanted to leave

Oh yeah how could I forget that baggage lady at the airport. Big thumbs up Mudder!

I can't stop laughing now!

Btw, Leighton (Fozzie) and I went back to Toronga Zoo today as I wanted to catch out the Wedge Tail Eagle at the lunch time show. It wasn't their on the Sunday afternoon show. We bumped into the Lion Lady, she wanted your number as she thought you were hot.

Ps, I'm back if you hadn't noticed, and Andrew thanks for the use of the kit lens. Now can I have my cirpol back Oh and if you find an extra rear lens cap, it's mine.

Andrew - the meercats are classics and I do like your pano

Hi Andrew,

Your skills have improved a great deal since our previous zoo outing.

Well done, mate.

regards,

Arthur

Top shots Andrew, I'm currently dumping the countless number of cf to hdd dumps I did.

Andrew - the first shot is my favourite! Well done matey, frame it and hang it on the wall!

Hi Andrew, Mate these are all great shots and i love the first 1 and well i am a sucker for meercats. Done well i was wondering how long it was going to take for all these pics to start showing up, might have to raz stubbsy up see about shots at the dinner sat night and so on but yeh the shot we have been seeing are fantstic.
Thanks look forward to seeing more.

The pano is very cool, as are a few of the zoo shots. Well done, Andrew.

Hi Andy,
What's all this talk about you chatting up the ladies?
That pano is bloody awesome, mate!
Looks like a Meerkat standing next to a mirror in that shot. Excellent capture!
Must get up to Sydney one day. Tooranga Zoo looks like a really nice place to take some great pic's.
Cheers, Jase.

Mudder,

Great shots. Snow Leopard does it for me  BTW: I have the cat ladies address and telephone if you want it
