Runcorn, so the RSL is not to far to drive to. My parents are at Jimboomba and Aunt at Regents Park. This makes the RSL a popular place fro us to meet in the middle.

3. Certain provider?

Now that i have slept on it, it may have just been the customer service skills (or lack there of) of the people at the store i went to. Because i have had great service from the people at other stores around the place.

[SUBliminal message]300mm f2.8L IS anyone?[/subliminal message]

hahahah your subliminals crack me up... bit like Paul's trademarked little whims of knowledge... my fav of those is the "if it ain't broke, fix it until it is"

yes customer service skills can make a difference eh!

heheheh i torture her ALL the time she loves it!

Just been playing around with Lightroom the last couple of days. I must admit that it is pretty nice to work with, albiet a little bit slow when importing RAW files off the card to the library. I will keep using it this week and then decide if its worth overhauling my workflow from cs2.

Ello all. Boy it's cold, and our heater is broken At least its not blowing a gale anymore.

I'm busying myself in the kitchen today, prepping fried rice for dinner and I'm going to make some butterfly cakes with a twist as well, yum yum!

Poor little Jessica, I just want to give her a big hug!

Hi Kinnon, actually today is a lovely day here. No wind and flawless blue skies, reasonable temps also.

I've just back from the Volleyball. Time to process some shots.

cs3 is great.. the new camera raw is quite good!
still no decision on a time tomorrow? and where we meet/start?

Yeah i use lightroom too... but it's only cos I can't use RawShooter. Rawshooter is what used to be Lightroom... but now it's a bit hacked and bloated... but i still use it for basic raw processing. It's sharpening and nosie removal is pretty crap.

Hrmm... might have to try CS3 when I migrate back to PC (over the whole mac thing and am going to sell it)... does everything but a few things... just not quite there... I think if I had an intel mac, i wouldn't mind so muhc... new parallels has hardware acceleration too

Thansk Feng, posting soon. I wish I had of had it today. I just couldn't frame things how I wanted with any of the lenses I tried. I gave the Siggy 30 a go and got some interesting shots. It performed well focus wise, but was too wide. While the 85 was too narrow for some of the stuff right on top of me at the net. Gonna have to buy a 50 F1.4 I guess if I continue to do these. Means I'll have a 50 1.8 to off load - hint hint anyone?

Mmm if your going back to PC I can send some subliminal messages to you to buy IMatch.

um - maybe a silly question - did you try the 50 f/1.8 today?

Any further thoughts on whose going where tomorrow?

No, was about the only one I left at home. Although I haven't tried it I think the focus couldn't cut the mustard, except for some types of shots.

Anyhoo, here they are here. Would you believe the women's game was AVL - Aust Volleyball League. Wonder how many sports I could have done this without oodles of accreditation?

David, do you mind if I ask where you got CS3 from - and how much?

I've become aware that when I get the 1dIII the raw files won't be supported by CS2 so I've got no choice but to upgrade Evil software companies.
