Yep the best comet pics have been had. Typical Auckland weather.

Well Im getting a good responce from myspace this time. Must be due to have a web site with examples. Have a shoot this afternoon with 2 girls from where Split enz come from (saves spelling)

Dam I hate moving house its so unsettling. Already started planning the landscaping of the section. Part will involve a chainsaw. Some people I know idea about plants, looks good to start but things grow and grow and grow.

Looking on trade me for new dinning room table as my wife want a desent one to entertain guests...umm guests I can put them to work when they come over, no free dinner at my place

He lives.... Hey the 24-105 is a great lens on the 5D. Did you ever find out what the red spot was on your long exposures?

What have you beeen up to anyway?

Yeah, I'm alive, was on vacation for awhile, now I'm working some rather odd hours. Yeah, it's a great lens, I highly doubt I'll buy another lens for quite sometime yet. Never sorted out that red light thing, kinda gave up on it, its only on really long exposures anyways where there is much noise, so probably not worth worrying about aye. Finally we have sunshine huh.

Hi All

I have posted a few A1GP photos - I am pleased I got more keepers than I thought originally (the laptop I used to have a quick look at the photos had a terrible screen - PHEW)

I have posted them here:

once I have sorted out all the photos I will put them on my website.

on second thoughts, don't look - it's got a glass top & we know what happens with glass at your place [private joke - not camera related, although would have made a good candid pic]

That's awesome. I've been looking for a nearby still body of water to get a reflection in, but can't find a suitable one. Probably a little more effort and time involved than I can afford right now.

My latest attempts from last night are here

i don't know about settled, but im in.

Still have the tv sitting on thie chillybin, and crap everywhere, but its getting better. ADSL should be here soon which will make things better.

I've got one pano up on the wall, run out of hooks. WARNING, don't use the little 3M command adhsive hooks to hang oversized photos.. they dont hold!

Bigger ones seem to be doing ok.
