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.

Hi ozonejunkie,
primarily cars and the odd detail of the birds,
particularly when the birds respond to "show us your birds !; well you know "
However I cannot show any wildlife photography here.
But perhaps some cars later.
Cheers,
CD

I heard they sourced all the bits from the US Defense Dept... Only cost them $10 million
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...
If I'm alone in a forest and my wife is not around to hear what I say, am I still wrong ??

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
