Am I missing something? Isn't there another match to go before anyone's crowned World Champions?

yes there is but as england are the reigning champs it means they are still the world champs...

Now thats how you win... A lesson for the All Blacks new management team. It may be ugly but if you score more points at the end of the game - you win....

That's a jolly good point.

however i think the Saffa's if they beat the Pumas will be a bridge to far...

But then again its down to 80 mins of passion next week.. and we all know how passionate the Pohm's are when it comes to sport....

on a slightly different point of view - i thought the ref was excellent today - what ashame he he did not do last weeks game for the AB's

A good model doesn't need to be attractive, they need to have charisma.

Dave, at the end of the day as long as you know you did your best there is only so much you can do to control a situation.

Ok, here's a couple of pictures I got of my new car in the few hours that I had it.
The normal summer tyres are 17 inch wheels. Unfortunately the winter tyres are smaller.



Then here is the minor damage after my collision on the autobahn at about 120 KMh. On Friday a guy came with a truck & picked it up to be repaired. He was amazed at how little damage there was for an autobahn accident & said I was very very lucky.

Gosh, those Skodas have come a long way. Glad to see that it was very minor. I was expecting to see something worse considering you were going at 120kph

Well cancerians are VERY moody


what people disagree with me

Im very concious of my mood and how it has effected my photography with models after the night wifey put me in a very fowl mood 10 min before the shoot with the manager of the company I was dealing with at the time. Note "was"

I dont glare

Tony, you've come a very long way -- good on ya!

Like work, I tend to leave personal problems at home. That is why we are called professionals - we learn to compartmentalise our emotions and get the job done.

If I'm in a really bad mood but have to work, I just tell myself that it is "Show Time" and that gets me in the frame of mind I need to be in. After all, life is a play, and we are the actors.

Well not much of a outdoors day. Wind blowing like crazy. Time to reorganise my studio to maxamise the room.

Im so over shooting with sheet backdrops. 1hr to clean up a photo due to crinkles..... oh well its all about learning.

We have all come a long way.

Tony, have you had a look at those clothes steamers? They are very easy to use and get the wrinkles out of the sheets real quick.

Then again, you already have the paper roll backdrops(?) There should be black ones too?

With all the wind blowing I'm tempted to try shooting nature in motion - I read about it in Outdoor Photographer. Now I just need an ND filter. I knew that I should have bought that together with the grads...

Do you not have a polariser John? Use that and kill tow stops of light out...?

Yeah I must get some tips and tricks off him. (That'd be great if you could give me some tips Moppie).

Hmmm, let me see what I can remember.....

Ok, put in batteries and CF card.
Turn on camera.
Point at Subject and press shutter button.
Wait 5 seconds.
Review results on rear LCD.


Yip, that about sums it up


How different is the A75 to the A80?
