True, true....

I'm interested to see which way the stuff comes in to Adelaide... I know how it comes for the East and for the West, but for the middle... I'm placing my bets that it comes through Sydney....

Yeah sometimes it varies...

Some of the engine parts i've got came through Melb. but mostly sydney. so you should be right i'd say

Well Angus, it looks like it did both. Came in to Vicco then up to Sydney. Hopefully will get here tomorrow.

Although guys I wont be able to get it off to you tomorrow as unfortunately I have a funeral to attend out of town tomorrow. So I will send off your stuff via express on monday morning when i collect it. sorry bout that.

Yeah that is a bit strange, none of my other gear from the states has done that... but eh as long as it gets here i wont ask questions!

... it's actually making an 'unscheduled stop' in VIC... to me! bwahahahahhaha.

I have no idea what it is.... but I bet it's worth something!

Ooh I think I want to order from Honlphoto soon. Their grids, snoots and gobos are irresistable!

Anyone else? Jim?

Well I met up with my friend and his fiancee and it looks like I'm doing their wedding. It's basically me or hand out a bunch of disposables to the crowd...
Surely what I do for them will be better than that (at least I bloody well hope so!!)

Actually they were a little spun out when I turned up with a notepad and started asking a bunch of questions about the ceremony, reception, bridal party etc. they were really just looking for someone to click a button... oh well, they got me instead

I guess no pressure then

That's true, but it's a good opportunity to get my feet wet.

Definitely! Thats pretty sweet that your gonna get that chance with (so it seems) less pressure than stepping into it with an outside client that HAS clear expectations.

This a really good chance to get some really stunning photos to build a portfolio for when/if you really wanna get into it.

Enjoy it (afterwards )

To anyone who has one... is there much of a learning curve on the 24-70L?

I am yet to learn, but i do know its a lil soft at wide end. Use both hands to avoid back strain, lol.

eneloops are now in the charger, thanks Clarence!
