Thanks for the positive comments on my Orchid shots.
Tran : nice portrait that, well done. To answer your question, many are from my own garden, but it helps when you works at the local Botanic Gardens, as I do
Georg : interesting use of Railway sleepers (as we call them in Aus)
Dave : really like those fountain shots.
Alan : your series of Tractor shots aree just great. Really impressed with the vibrant colour.

Dave, very nice fountain shots, you ever use that Bigma any more?

Thnaks Peter . It's funny you should ask that - not so much lately - I have a couple trips comming up over the next few months and early next year and have been debating more 'equipment'. K20D, 31ltd, DA* 300mm are the top contenders at this point. So over the next several weeks I am going to take a good long hard look at what I have and sell some stuff.
I truley suck at letting things go - so far on this forum I have sold a DA 12-24 and a K10D , so far on this forum I have purchased (amoung other things) a DA 12-24 and a K10D
The Bigma is one lens I will look closely at for selling.... it's a great lens there is no doubt and I have some fine picutures with it, but for my current interest (Landscapes / Architecture) it may be one I can let go and better servered by another lens
Georg, is that a fence with the railway ties? (That what they are called here). Good shots and an interesting semi-abstract look.
Thanks for the comment!
Yes, it's kind of a fence, but actually an art work in a park where there used to an old railway yard, for people to remember the history of that place...
I haven't posted for a few days but not for lack of pictures. I've been busy with a bit of a buying spree... three new lenses are on their way. But my big decision is whether to give up my FA77. I know that sounds like madness, but I could then maybe get a K20D.
I don't use the FA77 as much now I have the Vivi Series 1 105mm. Though the Limited is smaller, lighter and faster the Vivi is fast enough 90% of the time, has more reach and (of course) macro.
To help make the decision I took the FA77 out for a walk. I'm tending to do more candids, so that's what I came back with.
