Congratulations, Kyte is gorgeous, hope you have lots of fun with her :D I'm impressed Have a great first day with your new fluff ball :D

Nawwww, thank you :D

How cool I haven't seen any emus yet, I think I need to adventure outside of Perth

About $1400 on B&H - they are worth checking out for lenses as their prices are very competitive and I've always had great service from then http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/680103-USA/Canon_2751B002_EF_70_200mm_f_2_8L_IS.html Although $1300 on DWI..... http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/product.asp?idProduct=946

I recently got the Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM and am really liking it I love my 50mm, but needed something that gave me a wider angle and this hasn't disappointed :D I've been finding it a great all purpose lens and love the 17-70mm range it covers Some pics that I have taken with it here... http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvb3kJa This was the thread that lead me to this lens http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/222286-another-what-lens-thread/ and another thread here, more a wide angle lens one, but if you're think of buying Sigma, take note of the warranty info in this thread. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/222416-wide-angle-prime-lens-advice/ However..... I got it from DCW for $542 due to the warranty issue, but I now see DWI have it for $379 I may have tempted to risk the warranty issue at that price, but they didn't stock it when I was looking. http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod6718.htm http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/product.asp?idProduct=2733 Good luck with your decision :D

lol I did a marine toxicology course as part of the degree....I'm amazed I ever went back in the sea again after that! but that was in the relative safety of Eurpoean waters.....I've not been brave enough to swim in the sea here yet I loved uni as a mature student, I felt so old compared to a lot of the students there, but looking back on it I was still only a baby at 24 There was a large % of mature students where I went, so we easily formed groups and friends Good luck with whatever you choose RS :D

I did marine biology at uni, love all that stuff

Yup stay well clear Weasels, if the same as in your pic then they are bluebottles - I know them as Portuguese Man o'War! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Man_o'_War

pfft they'll let just about anyone get residency these days Seriously though - Congratulations That is awesome news for you guys :D

Greyhounds

Sorry sps, not very helpful

I would just think of Zoolander if I saw that

Yeah I'm a bit more concerned this year seeing how swiftly Louis dispatched that rat - would hate for him to try that with a bobtail or snake

Awesome shots Penny's face is so sweet in that first one

What do they say about dogs being like their owners....... :p

Ooops sorry RS I seem to have nominated you as the WA signature maker What's your roster this weekend? pm me if you are free

Random post alert I think we need pics Kirislin - they must pull some faces eating those

Sounds good - OH is away for 3 weekends so will be filling my weekends with doggie things Will pm you closer to the time

How cool :D make sure you get pics - love the new signature too

He is a working type cocker and still in the UK (had to re-home him last year, but he's very happy on a farm) I see the fabulous typical cocker traits in your boy though :D A few of his pics are here http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z49/screamingswifts/Fargo/?start=all including some serious tongue action

I love seeing your photos of Barkly, he is just so gorgeous and always reminds me of my old blue roan cocker boy.....his tongue was always hanging out too

What great fluke shots

Nice first shots, well done When you look through your view finder you will see a focal point (Have a look in your manual, you will have more than one focal point and it should have a picture of them) Put the focal point over the subjects eye when you take a picture and press your shutter button enough to focus, but not all the way down.....whilst still holding the shutter button half way down you can then re-compose your shot if needed. Hope that makes sense, I'm never very good at explaining things
