Puma posted a great link to Steve McCurry. There are plenty of togs out there that do wonderful work. They tell a story that main media prefer not to discuss. Maybe the powers that be prefer to condition us to neglect others and ignore the real issues in the world.

As I have previously posted links to Karl Grobl, here is another tog that I have the greatest respect for, James Nachtwey.

A good set Jonathan. Oddly enough, I either went to Shanghai or Australia. Hoping to get to Korea or Vietnam next.

A D700 that needed the mount shimming brand new and eventually a chassis replacement.
A D3 with a misaligned viewfinder.
Then there's the Lenses, I shot NIKON for 25 Years bot semi pro and pro but no longer, there's only so much you can take.
Then there was capture N X...
Did they see you coming or are you just naturally unlucky when buying cameras and lenses Jules? You have been through all of the leading brands and have now returned to Pentax.

I use three different systems, have yet to test or calibrate any lens on any digital body with focus adjust, have never had any camera I own disappoint, have only had broken equipment due to me dropping it or crashing it into solid objects and now feel that I must be blessed or very fortunate when it comes to kit selection and use.

Let's hope that you can find kit that you can settle with and performs to your requirements.

Best regards and good luck.

That's my home you are talking about!

Not the most exciting place on earth..... you forgot to mention it also has the world's highest fatality rate from car accidents (18.5% of total deaths). How long you here for? Off to Bangkok tonight, back on Wednesday, drop me a PM if you still here then.
These are from my stock collection. Still in Perth at the moment.


Comments appreciated from all.

Some prices are a tad high. The Samyang has a very good performance though.

Well there's different. Did you use flash at all Gary as 3,4 & 5 have head shadowing from the stage lighting. I adjusted No.3 in PS and it comes of screen much better with some slight levels adjustments.

I like the captures and agree with No.1.

Took me two months to get to know the models I shoot regularly here. Once that was done, they never not look at the camera. They get all their copies for free, something that never seems to happen with other togs so I'm told.

The spelling police have got you Puma.

It is not how you spell it, it is what you mean.
But how you spell a word can make it mean something entrely different to what you intended (admittedly not in Puma's case).
Surely not intentional?
