Ok guys time to share a little of one of money other hobbies, one I rarely spend any time on these days. I should put a bit more time into this, but I'd never get as good as David Roth in this video. I can do some basic sleights and some coin box tricks but that's about it.

Hey, all! Just got back from the coast and I've got to say, a week away surfing and lying around doing nothing does wonders! So relaxing, it was great.

Hope you all had a great christmas, and have a fun New Years :)

If you bought the 85 first, couldn't you just use tubes on that until you buy a dedicated lens? Nice photos, btw :)

Just wouldnt be the same. I like being able to go from shooting to macro to shooting something in a tree in an instant, cant do that with a lens + tubes.

And thanks :)

Some photos I made yesterday, at Lutwyche Cemetery.

I was amused by the amount of saturation in the next photo, considering that I was in a cemetery.

That one is definitely my favourite. I know what you mean about the last two though, it just doesnt seem right.

Thanks. :) Something bugs me about that one, though. I don't quite know what it is, it may be the perspective. If I end up there during the day anytime soon then I'll actually go into that section and experiment a bit more. One thing is for sure, the shots I made this time around are oodles better than when I walked through earlier in the year. :p

How fast can y'all get? I'd post the picture of my result but I can't figure out how to get the HTML into something the forums will notice..

Hey, that's not a half bad idea.. I might go try the laptop keyboard later and see if I can't better my score.

hmmm, the best I did was 74 with 2 errors just then.

Though now I'm used to typing on the pc keyboard, if I went and did the laptop I'd probably have a shocker!
