Innerzen,
Most of my photos are taken with a Canon compact cameras - A470, IXUS 65 and IXUS 860. I like your photos of flower and textured surfaces like the logs of a fallen tree. I like to play around with the macro settings too, there is another world when we look closer at things. One thing I find when using Digital cameras, donāt use the Digital zoom it produces grainy photos. go as close as possible to subject instead, the picture will end up better.

chefwilson,
you are another traveller eh!! great photos.
[:)]
Sniper,
thanks
Brian,
very nice - when are we going?
Innerzen,
keep them photos coming. I am sure you have many good phots
Chefzwilson,
great scenery. Goes to show that good shots can be taken with anything. I used to belong to a Photo club where a lady was winning competitions consistently with a compact camera and competing against the best hardware in the market.
Caroltan,
nice photo of FV. Makkes it look like a widerness shot. Good lighting too. Congrats
Carry a rod and speak softly.
Please donāt be afraid to āabuseā your camera to get the shot you want. Try to find whatever āprotectionā (shield with hand, cao, towel - bend body over it) is available and just do it. Most modern cameras are built tough.
The shot below was taken in a very heavy tropical downpour in Kenyir last year. Note the water dripping off Zamās hands and reel and the raindrops all over the water surface. We were fishing in the rain for about 5 hours and I thoought we should have it on record. hehe
Taken with the same Panasonic compact. The camera was exposed to the rain for only about a second. Bring it out shoot and put it back.
Carry a rod and speak softly.
KK,
You are a real MAN ah!! reminds me of this photo:
Lion and his pride, Taman Safari, indonesia. Panasonic 3ccd video camera
BUT hope you donāt end up like battered and bruised after loosing to the alpha male:

I still remember the roses I saw at Christchurch Botanical Garden. Took a couple of pics and sent them to my mum. She asked me to take some home. Told her theyāll never be that big in Malaysia. Wrong conditions.[:D]
Sunny, try using photobucket.com. you do not need to resize your pic before uploading to them, you can choose the size and it will upload it.
[:)]
Sorry flicker, some more off topic pictures.. will be my last!! cross fingers

Kevinlw, roses from here are different from the ones in Malaysia. They loose their leave in winter and bloom in spring and autumn.

Gerard,

Here are some of mine. Iāll start from the very tip of North Island - Cape Reinga. There are lots of ledges and they are pretty popular with LBG fishermen. Easy going down but extremely tiring climbing back up. Also here is where the Pacific Ocean meets Tasman Sea. From the lighthouse it is possible to watch the tidal race, as the two seas clash to create unsettled waters just off the coast.
Cape Reinga
Tidal race
To the left of Cape Reinga towards Cape Maria van Diemen another legendary fishing spot.
Te Paki stream and sand dunes. The entrance to Ninety Mile Beach where Surfcasting competitions are held annually with pricepool of NZD250,000.
Akmal playing in the sand dunes
Tourist bus passing through the stream on to the 90 mile beach. One of these buses overtook me on the beach.. I was doing 105kph!!!
Sandboarders climbing up the dunes
One of themā¦
The 90 mile beach. Itās an official highway with speed limit of 100kph.
Hole in the rock, one of the island off the beach.
About a third of the way down the beach there is a rocky outcrop known as āthe bluffā. Fished here before and it was excellent, have to watch the waves though.
Found this marlin head while we were exploring the bluff.
We stayed at Waipapakauri, the base for the Surfcating competition. beautiful sunsets, enjoyā¦
Hokianga harbour, another famous fishing base.
Seagulls posing for us.
To be continuedā¦
