Hi all, I've been away from the list for quite a while as I've been busy with the real world. I'm still busy but thought I might pop back in to see what's going on.
I'm still getting used to this whole digital workflow thing. One of these days I'll upgrade Photoshop but that's not in the budget right now ;) Anyway, a friend of mine does a bit of kayaking, among other sports, and he asked if I'd like to take some pics of a local race series. Not for money, just for fun. I'm finding it to be challenging but lots of fun. Especially the bit about not smashing the camera on rocks or drowning ;) Linky: http://www.multisport.net.nz/brass-monkey/ The first gallery was done by someone else, and the second is only enough to show a few pics of the high river when the race was cancelled. The third and fourth are the races I covered. In the bag is the K10D, FA200/2.8, F300/4.5, FA100/2.8 Macro, 43mm limited and FA*24/2.0. I might try the FA400/5.6 next time but it might be a bit long (and is a pain to carry). The 300 is about right for closeups. The only thing I'd change about the K10D is to add an option to let it remember the selected AF point separately for horizontal and vertical orientations (I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that). The races are suitable for paddlers of all levels and it's not a particularly difficult river. I might have to have a go at it myself one of these days.
