This was me just sitting on the point, snapping away.

C & C welcome.

The last shot got me thinking about aperture and bright lights ... is it true that a smaller aperture (eg f/22) makes the suns rays look more star-like and less like a big white blob?

Cool piccies Matty. I really like the first one. Nice B&W silhouetes.

Well done. I'd be happy to trade places!

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

What ... you want to be in a humid/hot unit in Epping right now? We flew back in last night, sadly.

Hey you've probably got air conditioning - but no, I'd definately rather be on hols in Noosa though.

absolutely no air con, unless we sit in the car.

On that first pic, it was a really unattractive picture in colour. I've always had a bit of a hunch that shooting for colour and shooting for b/w would be vastly different, so I was happy that this photo was saved by pulling back the Saturation ... I guess what I'm trying to say is that perhaps what makes a good photo for colour isn't necessarily the best photo for b/w and vice versa.
