Great shots, I like the first one the best! Sounds like a fun hobby, I've always thought 'Urban Exploring' through old stormwater drains and railway tunnels sounded interesting too. And old abandoned buildings of course, tall tower cranes... You know, anywhere you're not supposed to actually be exploring..

It's been a while since I've had a chance to take photos worth sharing, but I got out a few weeks back for a work trip. Unfortunately was either Too busy, Too tired or Too hungover for most of the trip, but managed a few snaps in this tropical paradise. Going again end of April, the novelty of duty-free alchohol will have worn off, so I should have less hangover time and more photo time

My favourite of the batch, I had to watch scenes like this over breakfast every morning.

Vanessa, from complete stranger to great friend in 4 days, helped me keep my sanity in the company of workmates. Photo's a little soft, we were walking as I snapped, and I probably just moved a little out of focus

I can't recall ever having been on an aircraft that I can even get that sort of a view of the gear, let alone thought of taking pics of it! Nicely done.

Sadly, due to the way this world works, it's not just American, similar issues rear their head over this side of the pond as well (.au)

Could do with some of the blue sky up this way, we have had weeks of drizzle.
I'm sure the folks in Outback AU would love to send their blue skies in exchange for your weeks of drizzle! Pretty damn critical in some parts.

Thanks for the kind words folks, good point about more images meaning less constructive criticism - I'll put the rest up on DA and post a link for those interested in seeing more.

Just to clarify - these are the shots where I was trying to 'be a photographer', rather than just taking snapshots or shots for work, so I'm interested in feedback / constructive criticism, not just showing off!

Been on a work trip in South Australia for a couple of weeks and felt like showing off a couple of the shots I took I'm always amazed at just how beautiful the desert can be.

Always love seeing your bug pics Clarky, though it's obvious I've been away too long, you've got a 20D now! That little spider is great.
