Body-only price here in Melbourne is now AUD$1,200 for the K7 - that converts to the 700 GBP you are now seeing in the UK. No further tax etc payable.

Gareth - if you were looking down on a goanna, the first thing he would do is think, "Hmm, that's a tree' - and climb straight up your leg. No kidding. Safest place to be is below them - although not directly, as they'll puke down on you if they think they're under threat. Not pleasant.

Ha! You've got the 1/4 scale cousins of the mongrels in the 'Vic Alps' Don - they are over an inch long. If they get into you, you know about it. I was hiking up near Mount Bogong in the '70s and a girl in the group sat down on a log full of 'em. They had to get her back down the mountain for medical help. Very BAD ANTS.

Mike - sharp indeed. Perhaps the comment about the yacht shot was to do with the marker near the RHS - without that, it looks like a wall shot to me. Good one.

In terms of some available tricks to deal with these situations, you could research and implement 'focus trap' techniques, but you might need a couple of other items of gear for that - probably starting with a tripod.

I'm sure it will be back, given similar weather and suitable conditions.

At first, I thought it was falling motorbikes, until I realised that there was no 'B' in Ducati...

I did, Roger - 300 mm at f9! I was surprised at how shallow the dof was at that aperture - you must have been close to the gull in the first place?

It was probably training to be a senior executive, via the 'Seagull Management Course' - swoop in, make a whole lot of noise, grab the biggest chip and flap off...

Oggy that's a ripper yarn! What a leap of faith for your lovely lady!
It would have been a priceless experience to dive along that reef with her.
