No worries Feng!! I'm glad it arrived so fast Hope you have lots of fun with it.

Anyone on the east coast try to get a lightning shot last night? I thought about it because it was largely noise with terrific lightning and longish breaks in the rain.

Great to see everyone taking photo's.
I won't be taking any for awhile due to my fractured leg LOL.
Maybe it's time to get a light cube/tent. haha

Ah bummer ed. How did you stuff your leg up?

oh no ed, just when you got your camera! Well, you'll have to be creative, and photograph what you can see from a chair! What did u do?

I did this. One photo 3 hrs old.

That's bad luck Ed. I noticed a link to shutterstock in your signature. Does it work well for us Aussies?

Hi all.

I just posted a rather lengthy review of the Crumpler The Whickey And Cox backpack if anyone is interested.

*yawn*

Just took some pics of xmas lights around town. WHen I get back to Sydney plan to take a few more interesting ones

Check it out the Xmas lights here.

nice hvman... I like the last couple the best... but isn't christmas a wonderful season for picking happy snaps... nice lights, lots of smiles everywhere.

although those guys in Vic... gotta keep them in out thoughts and prayers crazy fires... hopefully no one here is affected or knows anyone who is...

This morning I'm in the Club and wanting a drink early.
I got up 4.30am to leave on a delivery trip in the Mitzy Express van. Yesterday it was locked and loaded ready for my early start.... but overnight I've been scum-struck.
A screw-driver job on the door lock and they were in, on the street out front of our home. Luckily the steering lock worked, they only rolled it a couple of houses further along the road and took stuff. Top of the list, a $3000 new electric scooter (the sit on type for the senior citizens).

I've been on the phone a lot about "the incident", mostly on hold, but basically I'm stuck here at home waiting on general duty cops to sight/write the van up as recovered. Technically, the Help-line phone center had to tick the box and say it was stolen, if only briefly, and they can't un-stole it, only police can. Rules is rules, otherwise the phonebank workers would be psuedo-police and the courts (and the union) won't allow that.

The big piece of luck was that my large tripod was in a canvas bag right there between the seats where a consul box would be in a car. They left it. My binoculars, not touched. My 20 dollar sunnies thrown out and my loose change stolen.

Gotta look on the bright side.
Yesterday a funeral, last night a break-in.

yeah the false floor in the boat gave way when we jumped a wave.

mcminty, shutterstock works alright. I get paid via paypal. Also on iStockphoto as well. combined I get around 50-70USD/month.

Damn bad luck Carzee. Gotta hate that sickening feeling when you first realise what's happened eh?
