Ok.. this is my last one!!

There were also some pretty good skaters around the wharf area when I was wandering past. They were quite happy to perform for the camera

Nice action shots!

I just noticed your new gallery in your sig, by the way. Very cool stuff! Love the site design - did you do it yourself?

Thanks ST

And thanks also for checking out my gallery.
The gallery was created using the JAlbum engine, but I created the HTML template files that give it the look it has (ie I "skinned" it).
JAlbum is an excellent little album-generator though, and there are loads of other skins you can download and use if you don't want to create your own including fully flash and java-based ones... plus its FREE.

Your pictures are great! I also realized immediatelly about your signature. It is very fine. I like it. I like your gallery as well, it is very easy to navegate, and I like the topics you have in the menu. Congratulations!

Thanks Irma, that's very kind of you.
I got sick of emailing photos to my family back in Tasmania, so figured I might as well "do it properly" and throw together a little gallery.

It's still a bit thin though and I included some fairly average shots just to beef up the numbers. Initially it was to show my family some of the photos from my new camera (all the shots are taken with my 350D since April), but now I think I should put some of my favourite shots from my old camera in there too and maybe lose some of the lesser ones from the 350D.
Anyway, hopefully it will evolve over time into something I can be proud of.

Hello kombi very nice series.. the first one would get top marks from myself..Col

Your gallery is very well done. Great stuff. Not too bad on the skaters either. A little on the shaded side and could have used fill flash but if you're like me you don't always carry it with you.

Thanks Col and Colin,

I agree with you about the shadows Colin, and thanks for the good suggestion about using a fill-in flash. I always forget to use fill-in flash in daylight until its too late.
But, I wish I had a flash I could leave at home... the only flash I own is the internal one I should have used it though... it would have made a little difference I guess and certainly wouldn't have done any harm.

The background is also a bit disappointing and blah in the first two shots... but I just had to do the best with what I had... I wish I had done more with the last two shots though as that background has a lot more potential - a really low shooting position would have looked good I think.

Those are tough shots to get Adrian. Great attempt!!! I agree, fill flash would have allowed for a much faster shutter speed and freezing of the action.

The first shot has real potential!
