Very nice!

I bet it was a bit easier to use than your 400 :)

Hey, I was just about to post that character! I have actually seen a pair of wild Lorikeet's hanging out in the Puriri tree in the back yard, not so good as they compete with the Tui's for food :(

Anyway, here are mine, really strong colour from the RAW converter :D

Nice shots Pete. I seemed to be shooting the older shabbier one!

I was shooting only Large Medium JPG, and can definately see the difference, although for my use, it's fine. :)

Thanks

These were all taken at the Auckland Zoo.

Have a search for GKPE for more, and have a look in the members activities forum for some threads about our next outing, your more than welcome to come along.

And welcome to POTN by the way, its nice to have more Kiwis around.

Oh this is an old post.

Welcome aboard from Wazza and iKirst. :)

As Moppie said, it's from the zoo, and have more recently last month shot some more zoo pics after getting a friends of the zoo pass for $100 for a couple for unlimited visits. :)

Great I'll look into it. I came across the link to the forum and GKPE in the latest D-Photo. Thanks for sending the letter in, this forum is pretty awesome.

That was FlyingPete who sent that in, he will be very glad to know they left the link in the issue.
I was looking for a copy the other day actualy, but either it hadn't hit the shelves yet, it sold out, or I walked into the only magazine shop on queen St that didn't stock it.

Woohoo! They left the link in the letter :D

I was afraid they would possibly edit it after such a shameless plug for our great forum!

BTW, welcome on board Elyse!

Well it may have been the most useful part of the issue for me!

I subscribed to the mag, but I have a feeling this one is the last until I renew it.

What do you all think of D-Photo?

Recommend any other goodies?

Thanks all for the welcome :eek:

I haven't subscribed to magazines myself, simply due to the invaluable information shared on these forums. Whether it's technical details, or just sharing images and getting ideas on settings etc. It's a great place, and I'm happy to stick around for a long time to come. :)
