It'll be a while before I get the chance to repeat the ones I failed make the most of.
I took 1100 pictures in about 4 weeks in Australia. You lot sure as heck aren't going to see many of them.
Likewise Chris when i spent a few weeks in the UK in May, I took near 2000. Loved London though Clarky wrote:

Its not the sharpest by any means I regret not having a tripod with me.
Look on the bright side - you don't have far to go if you want to have another go.The luna park was shot hand held in near darkness standing on the deck of a moving boat.

Nice set Clarky....Make me remember my days in Sydney a few years back.
#2 is by far the best shot - very nice composition and colors.
I agree about the first one - make it horizontal - that would be a lot better. Nice exposure control.
The Luna Park shot - I cant figure what you aimed at - It seems a bit soft/out of focus. Thats holds me off a bit.
Overall - a very nice set of shots from the harbor.

Thanks Chris for the constructive critique. I will put your recommendations to good use. I too like No 2 the best. I regret not taking my tripod and getting some wonderful night shots in Darling harbour.

The wife and I spent the day on Sydney Harbour. What opinions do you have on these :
Sydney Opera House
City skyline at sunset
Harbour and city skyline at sunset
Luna Park
A panorama of the Bridge and Opera house
All taken with the DA 16-45. And the sky colour is real

We went whale watching of New England in August 2006. It was freezing cold and pouring with rain, but that didn't put the whales off. It was an astounding experience, well worth getting very wet for.

Thankyou very much Gwyn We booked a whale watch cruise off the coast of Sydney. But unfortunatley the whales didn't co-operate and we didn't see any I was hoping to post a nice whale pic for this weeks comp. So the harbour shot was my last resort.

The digital tweak was available in v1.10 (and can be restored to what it was)
Matt
So are you saying you reverted back too firmware 1.10 or just hacked 1.30 : Quote:
So, is that a digital tweak (hack the firmware) or a mechanical tweak (adjust the focussing mirror)?
Whichever, does it void the warranty?
Mechanical tweaks are a seriously bad idea. AFAIK there is a complex AF table that has to be initialised on a special test-bed. Trip back to Japan for that I reckon.So, is that a digital tweak (hack the firmware) or a mechanical tweak (adjust the focussing mirror)?

Kim,
Point taken. I usually do my best to resort mis-topic'd posts. But lately there's been quite a lot of activity and resorting is lowest on the list.
I've moved at least one though

Matt you do enough already on this forum so grab your pipe and slippers sit back and relax and let others worry about re-organising mis-topic'd posts. Kim,
