If you can convince him that 17mm is somehow UWA on APS-C

Hmmmm it is tempting
Now that the two of you have posted. Shall I join in?

With "top bloke" somewhere in my statement as well?

back home

My idiot of the week was an Australian.

On Thursday night I was shooting Lily Allen - there were approx 10 accredited photographers in the photo pit for 1st 2 songs only and then out. Some girl was shooting with a G11 and was constantly holding it up at arms length and getting her stupid arm and camera in other togs shots.

I ended up knocking her hand out of the way and giving her a short sharp ear bashing.

^ hahahahhahahahhahahahh​ahah

Ooo that would give me the ****s as well.

Missed a couple of days, so I'm playing a bit of catch up.

@Andrew. Seeing those images, I totally grok the "sand fairies" term. Those guys play for keeps.
Mic, the Collingwood pub shot is just right. the bicycle and basket are the perfect focus. The background story needs the oof treatment. I love it.

On the topic of DACs, I can't recommend a brand, but if you can find a bitstream example, I'd run with them. Oh, and they scale.
Regarding the guy complaining about shooting 70mm at 1/20? Unless he's after atmosphere (didn't bother with the thread) there's this thing called a flash. Or should I post up a couple of my hand-held 600mm Siggy shots of the cricket?

Nothing wrong with either of those cameras if you know how to use them and know how to behave around other photographers.

Which BDO? Only 20 accredited shooters in Melbourne (and I think the same number in Sydney).

Probably Perth Richard.

Perth, yeah I agree, but taking photos of eachother then watching the band... :/
They had numbered orange (IIRC) jackets so i'm assuming they were acreddited..

Cheers John. I've done enough cleaning today, didn't really feel like doing more!

Yeup, I plan on buying about another 15-20 plants I think. Wish pots were cheaper though.

Guys, I can't remember (or find) what POTN's rules are in regards to posting photos - number per thread, hotlinking to othersites etc. Someone remind me?

Somebody?
