Nice to see such fine images I can relate to everyday. I also live in Auckland.

The site is fine, the images are all very good. But if you want more replies, or critique, I would suggest posting only 1 or 2 of your best, or even images you're just not too sure of. Guarantee you'll get lots of great comments. :)

I did spend the time looking through though, and they're all very good.
Never seen a C-8080, but seems to do a good job. You didn't want a DSLR?

I just use a 5 megapixel Sony... Upgrade time in a few months.

Edit: On 2nd thoughts, my only negative would be about download waiting times. You have 200x150pix thumbnail images, which are around 50-100kb each. Your bio says you have Photoshop CS, so just save for web, around 40%, and at that size you shouldn't see any loss of quality, and thumbnail file size should then be reduced to maybe 8Kb.
Also the large images, 1024 pixels, are fairly large ie. a city night trail scene, was 700+ kb. 200Kb should still give a good clear image.
Just thinking for 56K users like myself. :)

I never had a problem, but then Jetstream is the only thing Telecom is good for :twisted:



JamesWatkins Some nice photos, I really like the Cortina, not many MK1s left, especialy in that condition.
The signs were also very interesting, especialy since I know were most were taken 8)


And its nice to have yet another Kiwi on the forums :)
just don't tell anyone you don't have a canon..[/code]

Yeah with a promotion at work, and extra hours, can easily afford jetstream. Connection, wires, filters, modem, even though it's free at moment. Yet my dad keeps saying can't afford it. That's a real joke. Even offered to pay it all. Maybe I'll just get Woosh for the moment, but won't cover my online gaming needs.

Bet there will be a problem Moppie. :p You'll soon reach your capped amount.. 10Gb? :lol: Bring on unlimited usage!

James, you've got some really nice photos, but you'll get better feedback if you post just one or two, like Wazza said. I also find your website very annoying, almost every link I clicked it opened in a new window, which I find very annoying. I don't see any reason for it either.

Throw up a pic or two and we'll tell you what we think - they don't have to be your best ones, maybe ones you'd like comments/thoughts on.

I'm in Wellington, the link to my site's below.
