Good work James. Now you need a break - it's only natural to have bad dreams about such a big event in your life! I hope the Moreton Bay Bugs weren't part of the nightmare!

Mate, I wish you all the best. Do your best to unwind. I appreciate how stressed out you must be about it - a few close friends going through that. But hey, taking your K20D out for a bit may be just the trick!

James! How do you feel now?
All done and awaiting results...
Hope you're pleased with how you went in the exam.
Yes, Brisbane's finally caught on with the idea that growth is inevitable, so the mayor finally reached into his pockets to make things happen - they always said Queenslanders were a little slow (10 years and 1 hour behind, in fact)...

Hey James, I got your invitation the other day to be in your friends list. Accepted it gladly of course, but did not quite know if the acceptance was enough to have a mutual friendship, or was I suppose to invite back. Guess the acceptance meant a mutual interest. Anyway, glad to be among your friends in this forum

Hi James, saw some of your macro work on your site. THe images from the A* 200mm macro are just fingerlicking good...
I just bought a smc FA 100mm 2.8, any thoughts on that one?
Thanks,

Hi James,

I'm in Toowoomba at least until the end of this year, but I'm thinking I'll extend my work contract for another year here since it's such a nice town.

Toowoomba and its surrounds has quite a lot to offer photographically, only you just need the time to do it all! The town itself has a couple of bird sanctuaries, which offers some exotic birds (if you're lucky), an array of stunning gardens (hence being called Garden City), and some great lookouts (if the weather conditions are right). But I'm no wildlife expert, so I'd have very little to say what the Darling Downs has to offer in that respect.

What I can say is that a lot of the neighbouring towns have great attractions, such as Crows Nest and all the small towns on the way there from Toowoomba, featuring a couple of spectacular national parks (Crows Nest and Ravensbourne). Going west there's Oakey, Jondaryan and Dalby, which are rural heritage towns, and down south there's Allora, Warwick and Stanthorpe (a winery and apple growing haven).

But I'd say for more wildlife stuff, you'd do well to get some info from the Toowoomba City Council website, as they're more nature inclined...

We could hook up when you come and do some shooting around town together!
Let me know your plans.
Cheers,
Ash.

Yo, James! I got the new version of my site up - http://deepho.co.nr

Check it out if you've got 2 minutes. I need to add more pictures, but I've been a bit busy lately.

Oh, and it's got music. Just a heads-up.

Thanks James. Hey it's a team effort. I just sometimes get a little tired of the BF/FF/AF/High ISO/Dead pixels whatever talk. Those threads are getting too much sometimes and I'd rather see the great shots most of us are taking. I notice that's what you comment on most of the time as well.

YEH, the new house is going great thanks mate.. all settled in now... (took long enough) .. it feels like home now.. aaaahhhhhh**sigh of relief** .. well im off to bed now jimi.. take it easy mate!!

Sorry. I was a little confused to request friend while seeing an extra box to add someone as a contact as well. Kind of redundant ...

Messing up your bulletin board. :P
