Ahaa! Greg's and my subliminal ploy has worked!

Has not. I realised that need by observing the limitations of my equipment.

( NB: For those that are confused, I separated that second comment from the first one but Paul commented before I had finished )

My dad had a tamron 28-300mm for a couple of weeks. Seemed like a good range for a film set up, just not for a crop DSLR. The optics wernt that great but they certainly wernt bad either, especially for the price.

Wow. That could make both my lenses redundant But I don't know. What is the maximum aperture/s?

f3.5-6.3, so its a bit slow on the long end. Its a macro lens as well though (apparently). There is also the 28-200 f3.8-5.6, which is a bit less expensive but almost identical.

here is links to both on B&H,

Also, i just put a whole heap more photos up from the parade today on my flickr, http://www.flickr.com/​photos/-spam-

Excellent Anzac shots everyone, really liked parade shots. Justin and I went to the dawn service in the city, caught the train with everyone else, couldn't get anywhere near to take any shots. went and shot city sunrise, had a play with some panorama.

Andrew, whereabouts were you at the service? I was on the bottom of the square about 40 metres away from Adelaide St.

Some of the marchers in the parade were very trendy...

...but they were usually those under the age of 30

Did either of you see the kid on the jeep with the black Leica?

Nice panos, Andrew. Looks like you took a bit of a walk. I particularly like the look of the second. Pity they're so small

nice shots there andrew. Well guys, we are having a get together to learn some photoshop stuff on 3rd june. (i don't remember mentioning a bbq shay, but it is a good idea), so would that be a good day for a bbq? greg, is there somewhere nearby for that?

gee, i finally get to do some more photos, and now photobucket is temporarily unavailable!

There is not a BBQ there (yet), but there is a big deck and a large back yard. I may be able to organise something. Let me do some investigation.

Who's going to be there? PS for those that don't want to go back and find out where it was, it'll be at Moorooka.

Close enough for me, im at oxley. Will talk to my dad about it and get the ball rolling here.

Helen, thanks for posting the link to Marty Pouwelse's site, i would have never seen it otherwise. his work is inspirational.
