Hey OJ some of those bees look bee-udiful.

Will post up my efforts tomorrow.

Cheers - looks like I missed out on a nice lunch. PS: You captured my good side! (my back)

[Willy wombat]

By the way - you have a dust bunny in a few of your shots from today. Might want to track it down...?

I am well aware of it's existance.
I am going to try and visit MHD this week for a wet clean, as it is resisting the "blow job".

Can't wait to see your efforts,
Tristan

Some more photos

[Alpha_7]

Could you help point out who is who in the photo's containing the people. I know you have for a few, it would be good to put a face to a name or avatar since we don't see as much of our Canberrian breathen as we should.

By the way - my first ever time using a macro with the D70. I guess i have a bit to learn, but im happy for my first go. Some things look in focuss? Was also using Peter's SB800 for lighting these shots.

[Willy wombat]

And this is something a bit different with the super fast 50mm f1.8

Ozonejunkie seems younger then I expected, thanks for sharing some more shots of the Canberra Contigent.

- Do I really look that young? In numerical terms, I am 18.

Well, I am doing a good job at hiding my age already, hope I can keep it up for another 50 or so years.

Oh, and Christian - Great shots, that rose one is a stunner.

Tristan

[ozonejunkie]

This is my answer to the rose theme:



I have another couple from the meet here.

[Alpha_7]

I just said younger then I expected I'd say that just means I saw a level of maturity in your shots beyond your looks

[ozonejunkie]

I just said younger then I expected I'd say that just means I saw a level of maturity in your shots beyond your looks

- I try.

Thanks for the compliment as well.

Tristan.

And a brief visit to the Australian War Memorial on the way home

[Willy wombat]

Nice work at the war memorial and the architectural shots Daniel. I like the colours you have going in those shots.

Here is a shot to combine both roses and bees. (Using Peter's 70-200 VR). I cant remember if i was using the 1.6TC at this stage? or not?

Love the wall of honour, it might have been done before, but you've caught this beautifully. Great composition and use of DOF, a definite keeper for me.
