Not me. I am at the airport, but my attendance won't begin until tomorrow.

Default Nikon vs. Canon
My poor little D3100 was outnumbered (and outsized) by those big Canons about EOD7 to 1, but for all of their ISO upsizing, I outlasted them as the sunset over them!

Mind you, Amsy's telescope is much better suited to capturing deep space than short finals!

Unhappy Apologies for dinner tonight
Sorry I can't join you for dinner tonight, but I expect to catch up with you again, and the others attending tomorrow night's dinner/trivia quiz as well as possibly dragging myslef out of bed early on Mothers' Day for a couple of hours at the Mill Pond which I've not tried before.

Apparently it's tricky to get to from the north - you have to essentially go far south on the eastern side and then turn 180 and come back on the western side of Foreshore Drive to get to the spotting location opposite Sir Joseph Banks Park.

So was I, with my vintage 400D and kit 75-300mm lens!

An OK turnout this afternoon.

Smile Great night at Rowers
Thanks heaps to Mark for the setup last night at Rowers. It was great to be able to watch movements in real time as we sat on the balcony identifying them against their plotted position. Benny and I had a ball!

Now as for Mr B's trivia quiz, let's just say I'd be surprised if I hadn't earned the prize for last - did anyone get less than 6 (who is prepared to admit it here)?
