Ahhh - Wildlife photography? (birds??)

I would love to be there, but I am in QLD for another month still. :) Can't wait to see some of the pics tough. :D

yes, birds ...

Hi ozonejunkie,

primarily cars and the odd detail of the birds,
particularly when the birds respond to "show us your birds !; well you know :lol: " :D

However I cannot show any wildlife photography here. :lol:

But perhaps some cars later.

Cheers,
CD

I heard they sourced all the bits from the US Defense Dept... Only cost them $10 million :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, I think it is money well spent. Anything that attracts interest in the Army as a career is good, although the Neanderthals at Summernuts mostly come from the shallow end of the gene pool...

BBJ,

are you using autofucos or manual focus when you shoot pictures. ?
I admire the results of your automotive shots.
And I'm trying to get better results for myelf.
I am still trying ...

Nah Birdy, the media has already over dramatised it, I think they covered it everyway possible. That and I always make sure I am out of the Nats before night falls, it can be a very unfriendly place to be once the yobbo's get going :?
