It was all good.

Hopefully I'll get some processed tomorrow (gotta set my desktop up so I've got a profiled screen...)

I really think I'm over this Velocity 9x slingpack, though. TIme to get some of that Think Tank goodness, I reckon...

Hi guys.

Good fun to meet you all again (and those of you for the first time).

I just had to post this one here. You can feel the unease that Makario is feeling, having this strange foreign object in his hands...

:D
Bring on the sunshine for the next meet!

Thanks again for the great time!

paulmac - This strange foreign object in his (Macario) hands looks OK, but his own hmmm....

1.Another way of photography ... ;)


And one more from my CF.

2. On the other side...
(there was very bright yellow neon light, so this is this strange color cast)

Hi Everyone,

Its was great catching up with you all again, I had a great time, loved playing with the Sigma 10-20, thanks Mikeyjuice (I think I am in love... with the lens that is). In regards to the photos, holding a Nikon felt almost sacrilegious... :lol:

Need to PP, will upload a few later this week.

Cheers

That's a relief :-)

One of the great things about these meets is being able to give prospective gear a good run. Isn't it, Elena? :-)

Not so good for the wallet, although the Sigma is great value at $500 or so :-)
cheers, juice

To all who braved the City yesterday, it was good to catch up with you all and share the experiences during the afternoon. Carlos with cigar looket great as he tried, along with Elena, to lead the pack around, even though it couldn't ever work out. Our next job is to download the cards and produce some results.

Thanks again everyone, and to Bruce & Wayne, bad luck guys on missing the day!!!

Cheers

Oooh, I want I want I want!!! Might start composing my letter to Santa .....

I had a great day catching up with everyone and finding hidden treasures in the city, it was a great turnout and even the weather was on our side (if a bit chilly).

Just need to go through all my pics now, see you in a few months :D
