I drove for 6 kms watching the sky until I found a foreground to use with it. at this time of night you have 15 mins tops before the colour goes. Thanx mate

Kicking with Doc's on.... its got to go back to melbourne... I took it in an put it on a 400D in a shop and the saleman and me agreed that it will focus close up OK but no at 5 metre or more distances.... and I take landscapes..... this only happens at 10mm the rest of the range is OK.. weird!

No fear of spiders. Wasps, hornets and bees still make me very uncomfortable though. I love spiders as long as they're not trying to kill me. Brown Recluse bites are pretty nasty. Your flesh rots around the bite.

I know a guy from the town in Texas where they do the annual rattlesnake roundup and always thought he was crazy. But that's nothing like what I've seen some Aussies play around with.
