I'd love to see one of those someday! Are we looking at two koalas here (one behind the other)?
It was just unreal to get so close to this huge beast of a plane:

24mm, F/7.1, ISO400, 1/1600sec. That thing generates some enormous turbulence.24 wheels are underneath that thing!
Great sense of scale! This one looks to be from a different vantage point, I recognise those crates - Tempe?
I'm going to the observation deck you told me about this Wednesday late afternoon as I'll be up in Sydney, keen to give this a go![]()
sorry i missed your question about the watermark sneil2, i was not on the forum for a week. Others pointed out the possibility in lr, i do it in aperture 3. It is a bit hidden in the export window, where you choose your "export preset". Click "edit" and a whole world opens up to create export settings. You have to fiddle a little with the suitable point size. I made the watermarks in pixelmator. Once made it will be available as a preset.
Today testing my new (used) 20mm 2.8d prime. This is the ship "delft" originally build in 1783 and sunken by the britishmad
in 1779. Some remnants are preserved, but volunteers are building the whole ship from scratch, an endless piece of work. Oak wood.

Whistler or Whoville?

Qantas Drive, Sydney - under the approach point for runway 16 right. It's only useful if runway 16 right is in operation for landings. And worse, it's a long walk to get there, no parking nearby.![]()
Fortunate thing is you'll normally only need a small lens, eg 18-135mm or a 24-70mm. Or, take a ladder (to see over the top of the fence) and a super-zoom telephoto and do vertical orientation photos with the plane at the top and its reflection in the water below.
If you want to snap something noteworthy, tomorrows TG475 at 07:40 (Thai) is a B747-400 for the first time in ages
Great shots in the blue hour VirtualRain, very nice.
Thanks dude! I think you've coined a new term for the golden hour when it's cloudy!... The "blue hour"!
Here's another from the "blue hour"

Sorry, the term "Blue Hour" is already taken. You'll have to invent something else for cloudy conditions, alas.
Nice, colorful wreath photo. The deep blue color adds a lot to this one.
