mitedo,
Welcome back! they're excellent series, as usual! you've done well again!
Will see you tomorrow night.

Magnificant. All of them. They are so crisp and clean and sparkling. What wide angle lens you were using in that chapel shot?

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2005 6:39 pm**

Wow, even though that took ages to load, it was well worth the wait.

You have taken some brilliant images there that are worthy of publication, probably in a travel brochure for Fiji as i reckon it will get plenty of people interested in going there.

Good to see you are back safe too and it looks like you had a great time over there.

Great stuff.

mitedo - unbelievable shots, I feel like booking a flight just on the strength of your shots....

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2005 8:21 pm**

Gorgeous shots!!! Great colours, my wife wants to know where you stayed, she wants to book her holiday now (she's serious). BTW how was the fishing the Mahi Mahi (Dolphin fish) look nice, what else was biting ? anything bigger ?

Great work, looking forward to more shots!

Fiji has all the same sceneries and setup, you'll find Fiji will be attractive and photogenic place, we were there few times in the past. The thing which I don't like are the Airport and its capital city. All the resorts are nice and beautiful, people are friendly, same as the surrounding.

Wow, beautiful images, my jaw dropped when that first one opened! Some magazine brochure material there... Great stuff.

Hi Craig we stayed at the Shangri-La's Fijian Resort its around 45min drive from Nadi airport on the southside of the island its near Sigatoka i can tell you all about it over the weekend :wink:

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2005 9:11 pm**

Mitedo,

I'm impressed!

You should be on commission, I'll be off to Fiji next year!

I'm correct in thinking that a CPL was used on the shots?

Tony

Bloody Boodifull, mitedo mate these are great fantastic, love them all and look forward to seeing more.

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2005 9:29 pm**

Mitedo
Outstanding photography!

You really make that D2x sing. I can't quite put my finger on it, but your images are ones that I can almost guarantee I'll like before I see them. You always manage to capture such bright, vibrant images without overdoing the saturation. PS Please don't post the fish eye shots since I still have a bad case of lens lust since I saw the outback ones you did. :wink:

PPS Shot #4 doesn't look like a 12-24 shot to me - more like you used the fish eye - it just seems too distorted (of course I'm frequently wrong :shock:

)

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2005 10:11 pm**

Beautiful shots Kevin. Might be over there in Feb.

Love the shot of the Chapel. Picture Post Card Perfect
