It's not always easy because the backgrounds are often distracting, and this particular event is so popular that producing images that don't have protruding arms and legs in them is challenging!

Firstly (and completely off topic) there's a few long faces here after today's results in Nagpur.... The K200D is great! I'm completely knocked out by the added features over the *istDS. When I went to buy it I has just about talked myself into the K20D but the price of the K200D (less than half that of the 20D) just couldn't be ignored. Buying it meant that I could also get the 360FGZ flash as well. The restricted buffer isn't an issue for me and the fact that it runs on AA batteries is also an advantage. The extra 4 MP of the 20D would have been nice but I'm happy! I'm completely amazed that a camera with this level of features can be described as 'entry level'.

Maybe Lake Michigan in 2010..... Derby wrote: > Excellent gallery, Brian. You made the trip all the way over here for > the show? I kept meaning to visit this year, but darnit, was too slack. You were probably otherwise engaged with 'Good Food Month' :-)> Actually, getting to the event wasn't all that painful. Train to the city, train to Bondi Junction, bus to Bondi, all for the princely sum of $2.50 there and back (being a 'senior' does have the odd advantage). Took just under two hours and arrived at Bondi just in time for lunch at an Italian restaurant across from the beach. A few bottles of wine later my colleagues and I staggered off on the walk. Shake reduction on the K200 came in very handy! > Hey...I saw this one... > http://supera.jalbum.net/Sculpture_by_the_Sea_2008/slides/_IGP0187.html > > ...earlier this year, in less glam surroundings (the AGNSW car park) > http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc/08/08_02/08_02_squished/01.htm Now that *would* distract the driver....
