I like the a-f shots. I took one a bit like the middle one of the OH many years back with a old point and click. The contrast of white and blue and the unusual patterns and lines make it a very interesting shot.
I got mine blown up about 18x26" and framed. When people see it they think it's one of those prints you might buy.

Thanks much for the k, but here I must make a painful confession...

...my wife took that picture.

I was on the other side of the harbour with my expensive digital SLR (I was late finishing work and couldn't get to that side of town in time). The Mrs was armed with our old point & shoot that hasn't really been the same since my daughter dropped it on concrete. Annoyingly, she got the best shots by far. She says it aint what you've got but how you use it. You've really got to hate her!

A better way to do it is use the Windows XP Image Resizer Powertoy (from Microsoft) to resize them - details on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

and direct link to the application here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

Basically you can just right click on some images or a folder, choose Resize Images, put the size on Large (1024x768) and press OK.. it will make copies with (Large) after their name that are much much smaller in file size (around 50KB). The resolution is also scaled so they appear perfectly fine on a computer screen, but they will not print as well as the originals so dont get rid of them!

"no, why'd you ask"
"cos I don't want to get wet"

No? Hin-ze-dam? I'll get me coat.

Did I tell you about the signpost for Robina Bank?

Pic 3 must be Lake McKenzie ?

We laid on the beach there at midnight and saw not one, but SIX, shooting stars in the black sky. Magic
