Mmm, I'd love a 135 but I have no funds for that at the moment.

Come on Greg!! You know you want to!

Yeah, I know I want too, but my bank balance says I can't at the moment.

Damn Australia Post! Was just sitting at my desk and heard what sounded like a small car crash out the front.... no.... turns out the guy thought he'd just lob my charger and eneloops over the 6'10" fence onto the deck... idiot

But thanks Clarence! They are here (and thankfully look unharmed)

You know, my Australia Post delivery contractor is a pleasant sort of fellow who drives right up to the house and leaves packages right in the corner out of sight if I'm not there to answer the door. If I am home, he always wants to have a chat (sometimes I pretend to be out if I am busy).

You could always move to another area - that way you would get a new delivery guy.

Note: I realise that this conversation was at the top of the page, but you guys talk so much while I'm at work, I miss out on all the interesting stuff until I get home.

hey backflip,

I hitched a ride a couple of years ago on a freight train and the driver/s have a couple of big screens in front on their control panel, maybe you could convert one over to POTN and drive them instead.

My biggest mistake was not having any camera with me as its a great view from there especially the effect of going thru the old tunnels around (where ever I was)

You were obviously in a more modern locomotive - when I was on freight in 88 - 89, we had real air gauges and speedos.

I've had my little digital camera on the dash a few times and you do get some interesting photos from that perspective.

Wow, slow night in here last night...

Yep, calibrates fine. All the photos I have posted up here in the last few days were edited on it, and they look great. I use the Huey, but I will likely get something a little better in the near future.

Good news, thanks for that Michael.

Congratulations on getting the 16-35... Awesome desktop setup.

Wow, 10 hours from my last post and only one addition. You people actually sleep.

Creating verbal diarrhoea is tiring, I guess.

Michael, seeing as you are a fan of Joe McNally I thought you should read this link..

Thanks Damian. I had planned to read that this afternoon.

Does anyone want to combine purchases on filters? Looking at HVstar for some filters for some 77mm lovin again.

Are there any other recommendations other than HVstar?
