And Clendon (wasn't happy with these at all :p ) The Greenlane shoot above was the 2nd shoot. Less images, half the shooting time. Perhaps a little more practiced...






Nice Kirst. Good work!

Hi all, am back from my holiday and back to work :P first day back, how dreadfull...

Anyhow holiday was awsome, the three-weeks went by so fast, Still so much to do, see, try, eat, etc... Am gonna hafto start planing the next trip back. Sorry to say not much photog was done appart from loads of holiday snapshots as most of the time was spent shopping in malls or swimming. Too busy & too hot to go shooting. I found my self trying to find ways to cool down rather than hunting for a shot.

However a contribution from me (below). Taken with my 17-85mm. Have discovered that this lens actually take exceptionaly sharp pics after all. I removed the UV filter and what difference it made to the pictures! Kinda annoys me a bit since the filter used aint a cheapo either.

Anyway, here's a shot from my trip. Some fresh prawns cooked in butter, garlic & chilli! YUM!!! they were so fresh, they were still swimming when I bought them :)

Woops my bad, below picture taken with the 50mm :P

This one's taken with the 17-85mm withouth the UV filter. Still much sharper than the ones I was getting before with the UV filter on :P

golf = hairdressers car.... :p


I'll second that.
They are right up there with MX5s, n/a MR2's and 316/318i BMW's.

They scream:
"Hiya, look at me! I care more about how I look in my car, than how good my car is('nt)."



So long and thanks for all the flash

Its what makes them extra tasty! All that sea-fishy flavourings. U just gotta remember to take the "vein" out before you eat them and you'll be fine :) These buggers have huge veins (**** sacks).

For those of you with the 20/30/40D + 24-105L - are you happy with the lens, but more importantly with the combo? Just thinking of a good walk around lens... 17-40 is too short, 70-200 too narrow...

yup very happ with it, gives really nice results on 40D and still pretty wide enough for general use but offers a little extra reach which can be handy. and, for the future, it does a nice job on a 5D too if Rich Legg is any kind of example

LOL just as well I value your opinion so highly :rolleyes:

Again, obviously yet another uninformed comment .. the ironic thing is you continually jump down another certain members throat for doing exactly the same thing *YAWN*
