No beer for me this long weekend. I'm on antibiotics for a dodgy throat.
Does anyone know if red wine has antibiotic properties?

My series 1 seems to be just a tad soft, compared to my Sigma 70-300 APO.
Colour rendition and contrast are definitely better than the Sigma though. I posted a very similar shot of the moon a little while back, taken with a Vivitar 2x tc.

Maybe it's just me, but unless Pentax starts to make terrible cameras that are too far behind the other brands to even consider, I'll be staying put. My "old" K100D Super does everything I need it to, and it'll be quite some time before I've outgrown its capabilities. Some changes would be good, however. A faster write speed, 10Mp sensor, more dedicated buttons instead of menus (ISO, RAW, etc.) Threaded shutter button (I know I should just buy the remote). That camera is solidly built, unlike the plasticky cameras from the bigger manufacturers. Add to that, the in-built SR and AF motor (N**** blokes at work can't believe I've got SR when using old Takumar or A series lenses). So it's probably safe to say, the brand has got me in. Besides, I've got an ever growing collection of lenses in PK mount, and I don't want to start all over again. Just like I'd buy Ford before even considering Holden.
But that's just me.

Got nothing to offer, only that our sky here was annoyingly blue today, yet again. Apart from the odd vapour trail, of course.

I like the last one. Detail shots are always my favourites. Well done.

Weet-Bix and Vegemite on toast. Now that's a breakfast. A cup of Bushells and a Tim Tam for smoko, then a pie or two for lunch. Couple of schooners in the arvo, then a steak on the barbie with salad for tea. Real tucker.

Hello Jill. Welcome to the forum. I'm from Newcastle too! Newcastle, Australia, that is, so I geuss I won't be bumping into you on the streets of our like-named cities anytime soon. Still, the web makes the world seem like a very small place indeed, so I look forward to seeing your photos in the gallery.

Welcome Brad. I'd been shooting with Pentax for 20 odd years, then I got a DSLR and have learnt more about photography in the last two years than the previous twenty.

They can use some of my pics if they want. Totally irrelevant, of course, but I'm cheap. A free book suits me fine, and gives me considerable bragging rights over the Canikon blokes at work.

Alright smartarse. Very nice pictures! It's not often you get pics that look as 'old' as these in Aus. You must have travelled Europe??
Very nice.
