watch out for bubbles getting in the photo but, don't hold your breath. breath holding = up and down up and down = the bends seen it, not so good.

older lenses can be great, my favourite is a nikkor 180mm f2.8, sharper and better contrast than anything else i've tried but of course a little slow. older cameras i'm not so keen on. my d70 has noticeably worse white balance, colours and noise than my d300. megapixels my not count much, but...

saw your notice on big cats and thought i'd share a few from last weekend. i'm lucky enough to be living in south africa at the min and pretty close to some game parks. we had a really lucky drive last weekend and saw a couple of fresh kills. the cheetahs all have collars as the are endangered...

thanks all. nice to be back here. these were taken in december, i'm off back in 9 days! my girlfriend's moved out there so i'm off to visit. a job's been offered so i may just go for it. we'll see. cheers for the comments. i think my favorite is number 10, although i wonder if it needs a...

they may be birds on sticks but i'm impressed. nice captures.

no it's not much over at all, i only notice it as i've a friend who picks me up on it all the time! it doesn't detract from the shots.
