Thanks for the speedy reply Mr Burns.

I had a quick look and there is a big variety in the Lumix range. Is 10pm enough or should l fork out the extra $100 and get a 12mp?

I'm nowhere near the pro league and will just be taking happy snaps. But, if there is a massive difference in image qaulity l'll gladly fork out the extra money.

I'm not really sure to be honest but I think for snaps 10mp is plenty.

If you're in Melbourne you could give that shop a call and ask them, I found them to be honest and not pushy.

Just checked, mine's 10mp which is planty, I think the only advantage with more is you can print larger photos clearer but check with the retailer.

I play around with cameras a little bit. I like macro pictures, mainly because I am interested in snakes and bugs and stuff.

Here is a cute little Red-naped Snake I photographed after spotting it on the road as I was driving one night.

An Eastern Brownsnake not too happy about having been caught (yes, I let him go after being assaulted with the camera)

...a couple of my geckoes in the process of making more geckoes

One of my pet Water Pythons, Jade.

Itsy bitsy baby Water Pythons

A Death Adder's face

A mummy Death Adder and some of her babies

I have about a million more pictures of reptiles, bugs, and other bits and pieces. I'll stop there, I'm sure you're all cursing about your bandwidth drag already!

Some of you are really talented. Many thanks for posting great photos.
Keep 'em coming.

I especially like the atmospheric black and white of the storm skies, Fishbulb.

Do you have a Lumix Burnsie? I was a bit hesitant to look at buying one as I thought they were a bit of a cheapie brand compared to Canon, Nikon etc.

If you do own one, are you satisfied with it?

When snakes coil like that, doesn't it mean they are about to strike? You are one brave photographer!!!

LOL, it's a bit of a worry when the plane is pointing right at you when taking that shot!!!!

Aargh! · 4 January 2010

Here's a couple I thought I'd share from the Middle East.

Shot with my new toy the Canon 5D mk II with 24-105 f4 L and Sigma 50mm Prime f1.4.

Hey Bud,

Here's a couple from my archives:

Boyou · 1 February 2010

I took this at Tamborine Mt. Qld. last year.

..Just a happy snapper, but I thought the drop of light which landed on the tree roots was worth noting.

I stayed in the staff accom with a friend so cant tell you much about the accom. What I saw was pretty good though. The beach is Catseye beach which is the main beach on hamilton island and that pool is in one of the exclusive parts that I wasnt supposed to go apparently. There was also a nice beach tucked around the back called coral cove I think (feet pic). Bit of a trek up the hill but well worth it. I thought overall it was pretty good. Some more pics. Have a few more if your interested.

wintermute · 1 February 2010
