Great idea. Each time I put this lens on the camera, I am amazed at the sharpness, contrast etc etc.. serves me right for using a kit lens most of the time.

Cameron, we could steal this idea and use it in Sydney... Go head to head with the Adelaidians... Make it in to a competition so to speak. :twisted:

Does serve you right for using kit glass....I think your suggestion is a good one...now I have to wait to my 50mm is returned...it is on loan to a mate for a few weeks.

A great idea Deb. Wish I could come too! Have a great time guys. Maybe we could have another one early next year??? You guys could come up to the Riverland for a weekend - Fozzie, Virgs and I will promise not to show you how to get to Gluepot.

Deb, Great idea. I wondered whether you guys wanted to make a competition out of it.....

Here we go with an idea:

1- Meet Adelaide Central Market at 1pm (Closes at 3pm). People, stalls, and plenty of good food and coffee etc

2- Next Stop - Cennteninal Park Cemetery. Grave stones and beautiful roses, plus good shade if it is a hot day.

3- Next Stop - Either Glenelg, Henley Beach or Semaphore. Can be decided on the day.

4- Next Stop - Port Adelaide. Heritage Buildings etc.

5- Final stop and most important. Flinders Park for wood oven Pizza at Deb's place.

I am not sure whether I should run out and book my airfare straight away - or vow never to return to Adelaide :shock:

Fitzgerald Bay, looking across the gulf to the Flinders at sunset is spectacular but Ive never managed to nail it. Lowly lighthouse and Santos jetty are another 2 good ones.

Let me know when youre free 8)
