Thanks Don, I'll be backkkkkkk.

Downside of too many Emirates flights is having to swap air miles for upgrades. So it's business class all the way again this Xmas. Business tickets are up to three times dearer than economy tickets yet the air miles are awarded as a matter of course so best get them used to good effect.

Best put my Pentax string vest on and fly the flag in the front end.

p.s. anyone in the North East area (UK) over Xmas/New Year that fancies a pint (s), pm me and we can meet up.

All comments appreciated.

Your correct Alan but I get two. My last Sunday in Australia-2014 and next week is my last Sunday in the UK-2014. This set title should have been better titled. Heads in a flurry at the moment....what to pack, did I remember this, that and the other......

Best regards

Very nice.

I think your colouring these in and in fact, they are the common brown Aussie spuggy because I don't see them over this side......

Very moody. Great colours.

Suitcase is nearly packed and I decided I needed a break. Took the K5 IIs & the Sigsta 10-20mm for a run out.
















Last image is K3 & 90mm macro.

First shot works very well to draw the eye from the surf into the focal area of the image (sunrise). The pipe actually drops into the image as it enters higher than the horizon. As expected, the image is rich with the Wennington trademark colours.

Second image had me smiling as it's unofficially your first K5 IIs wildlife shot. I guess that you'll officially kick off the 5 IIs full colour/detail wildlife shots early in the New Year, when the right opportunity arises.

The compression effect is also put to very good use.

Some from yesterday in Perth.

Thanks for that Gwyn. First hand, factual info gives an accurate picture.

It's 15:38 in Perth and I'm about to shut this baby down, leave the office and head on down St Georges Terrace to a bar to meet a few mates. Relaxing into my final weekend in Oz this year.
