[Marvin]

Have fun guys. I will be in the thriving metropolis of Karoonda at a kids netball training camp thing. Wish I could be there!
Lee

[team piggy]

What a great day Good to meet the new ones and all the old faces. (Even "the cougar" made a mystery appearance )

Virg you will be happy to know I buggered up the RAW buffer test we did ! I Had the thing shooting RAW + Fine JPG at the same time, so it was saving 2 files of each image....
Some of my results.







Its amazing what the 300 2.8 can pick up


**Just noticed my Auto-watermarker was in fine form without me asking it to do anything.. Oh well, too slack to repost them!

[fozzie]

Another great day out with people who share the same interest, in a very relaxing environment . It was also a pleasure to meet new member Rob (RDW) and wife Lee.

Here is a sample of my efforts from the day:

[adame]

Thanks for an excellent day guys, stayed till closing time with fozzie and got some awesome overcast light on the lionesses, was very dark tho shooting as low as 1/80th @ f4 at iso 400.

some samples.




And a teaxture shot i liked


Cheers
Adam

[DanielA]

Great shots all. Some very similar...

I've put up my shots.

BigV shooting one of the most ferocious animals...




Daniel

[Big V]

Very nice results from every body... once again I was prepared to take one for the team! Had a good time and really enjoyed the laughs as well as the shooting. Question -how many of you found unexpected frames on your camera? At least when I was testing yours the subjects were a bit more interesting than a bloody streets ice cream sign...Brook - oh well user error on your part, you still lose . Now I better go and cull the 200 junk frames and do some posting...

[fozzie]

Big V,

Not me, although this sounds like a familiar story ie. Rundle Mall sometime ago when I went to the toilet. And it is a situation whereby 'The Pot Is Calling The Kettle Black'

Nice Big cat Photos. Nice capture on the yawn

[team piggy]

I wondered how 223 images of a rather attractive young lady got on my CF card?????
And another hundred or so of a rubbish bin...
Never leave your camera laying around when the "cougar" is on the prowl.....

[Big V]

At least the photos you find on your camera are worthy of being there - and you can always send them to Rob in Whyalla!!! The rubbish bin shots were done by Paul
Here are a few from the meet..
