Poocow: I am wondering if that is the ship my in laws have just been on.

They were going on a South Pacific cruise 28th Dec and would have got back

today I think.

Most likely then - if they went to Fiji and Vanuatu. It arrived in Sydney around 8/9ish this morning. Ask them if they got anything seized from Quarantine :wave:

:cry: Not fair Rocco!!! Such great pics with a set of legs to match. I sure as hell don't look that good doing my hair :) As ruthless siad - loving the retro series. They look good enough to have a set on the wall. Great stuff :wave:

Lea - I love the detail you have captured in the dandelion.

PM nice capture :o

Persephone such a natural shot of Hamlet, very nice.

PPS Love the first pic. So nice when they just come out right first go.

Not great, but it was spare of the moment! I was trying to take a photo of the dogs sitting on the couch together. The camera ran out of batteries and this is what I came back to!

You work for Quarantine poocow? :eek:

Do the beagles work cruise ships in Sydney - I'm due to clear something on Monday name escapes me?? My colleague told me she seized 20 items (fruit) from passengers today working a beagle, not sure which ship or where it was from.

Speaking of work - I returned today after having leave, so am struggling to keep up here and not sure I'll get a pic up tonight, might have to do a day behind thingo we'll see how I go :)

Thanks for the nice comments about my Chester brat boy and pics :)

ripley - the colours on the baby lorikeet are brilliant

clover - your fish are very colourful too!

colour colour everywhere

PPS - I like your old building shot a lot

JAG - cool giraffe, how'd you get the shadow pink?

rocco - love your bathroom pics, really nice, I agree retro is working for you :)

kja - will miss you, but you'll have too much fun to miss us :(:wave:

ruthless - great news about your camera, can't wait to see your results :)

persephone - I've always loved Hamlet, love his colouring, now I know why you rarely post pics - camera shy boy but so pretty

kirislin - nice bokeh (that's the first time I've used that word ... but it seems to be the "in" word to use ;) ) :cry:

terranik - I really love that one of Ashoka and Jedi on the couch :) It shows a lot of spunk and character and fun!

such diversity in this thread it really is a joy :)

OK, I'm diving in! I have two that I like for today.

I'm using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 which I've had for 3 years. I have it just on auto setting - macro when appropriate - and just use the lense it came with. I use iPhoto on my Mac for processing. I've got Photoshop Elements but I haven't played with it yet - this might be my opportunity.

This is a rose in my garden. I couldn't resist taking a photo of it when I was just outside. It seemed to be almost glowing in the fading light. I increased the colour saturation on it to maximum to try to make it glow.

And this is Winifred, one of our new chooks. I'm posting it mostly because I'm so pleased with actually getting a half decent chook shot. We got two bantams from my brother's farm for Christmas and they're not used to people. They've only just stopped running away from me when I bring them food so I was very impressed that Winifred hung around when I aimed the big black thing at her. The other one, Timothy, kept hiding behind a shrub when I tried to shoot her. I just increased the colour saturation a bit to do Winifred justice.

Ooh gorgeous chook, look at her lovely dark comb.

She is pretty, isn't she. Her sister is all black. I'd love to get a good picture of her but she's the more timid of the two and kept the shrub between her and me. Another time ...
