Absolutely perfect in Palmerston North. Cloudy all day, and I cancelled my early morning alarm around 12:00pm as was fully clouded over. Woke up for some reason around 2:30 and checked outside to see a perfect red moon, so ran back in and work the family. About an hour later it clouded back over. Never seen anything like it.

I'd had a 2.5-hour stint the previous night (midnight-2:30) fixing a problem for work, so was not keen at all to be up for the moon. However, I did wake around 2 am to take a leak. On the way back to bed I glanced out, bleary-eyed, and saw the red moon. Went straight back to bed. Still catching up on the lost sleep now. ---------- Post added 02-02-2018 at 06:51 PM ---------- Been playing with the M 200 a bit lately and getting quite comfortable with the manual shooting, and leaving it at f/4.  Also had a bit of a play with the 50mm f/1.4 at apertures < 4. This one at 2.8.  How do you clean a cat for a photo shoot?  | |

Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid. 4. At this point the cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet – the cat is actually enjoying this! 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power-wash” and “rinse.” 6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door. 7. Stand well back, behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid. 8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off. 9. Both the toilet and the cat will be sparkling clean. Yours sincerely, The Dog | |

| Originally posted by Transit Family adoption notice  I'm feeling very grumpy today. Used to use DiamondPhoto and Kroma (which so far as I can tell is the same company) for photobooks all the time. My favourite size was their 30x30cm book which allowed me to, completely freestyle, lay out every page exactly the way I want, with borders or not, any photo cropped to the size or proportion I want. Well, no more. They have a "new and improved" interface which, surprise surprise has much less functionality than before. Unless I was to create my pages in Photoshop first, and then upload those as an image to each full page, I now have to use their predescribed page layouts. These are pathetic in the extreme in that they favour square or portrait style photos. There are very few templates with landscape layouts. Gone is the ability to do a panorama stretching right across two 30x30 pages, maybe 2 or 3 panoramas to the double page. You can have 6 portrait shots nicely filling a 30x30cm page, but not 6 landscape shots doing the same. What a complete stuff up all in the name of "progress". Does anyone know of a New Zealand (or elsewhere for that matter) based photobook supplier who still allows you to lay out your pages the way, you, the customer, wants? | |

Interested to hear of others experiences also. I'm quite keen on those lay flat options, and am looking to find a supplier at a reasonable price for these. | |
