Nifty rules!!!

I am serious. I have eventually a proper lense, but if I want to just wonder around or to please myself before going to bed (strictly photographically, I just need to hear the snapping sound of the mirror at least once a day), the nifty goes on the body (camera body, of course).

Right, after getting a camera that allows shutter speeds of up to 1/8000 of a second i now think water is far more interesting than it was to me previously.

Also, the nifty fifty is most likely going to turn into the best 80quid i ever spent.

And i imagine none of your are suprised by any of this.:)

water attracted me when I could get shutter speeds of 1/1000 never mind the mecca I got with the 350D...

I love water.

For me water was always an enemy. It used to make what i wanted to do harder, instead of easier. So i think that followed over a little bit.

Something i am really looking forward to exploring now!

Those Canons aren't as flameproof as they might be :eek:

Incredible how much havoc and destruction has been wreaked by the fires.

Yeah, T is indeed... The house I used to live in in Bendigo (Central Victoria, bout 3 hours north from Melbourne) burned down as well I found out today... I feel a bit sad about it!

You may or may not have seen this before so........

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and
over again to see if you can outsmart your right foot, but you
can't.
It's preprogrammed in your brain!!

1. While sitting where you are , at your desk, in front of your
computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise
circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand. Your foot will change direction!

....go on ! try it again, if you've not already done so :eek::p

How can you tell it's a Canon?

It looks like a Film SLR to me, but I could be wrong.

The smell of Bushfires is something you never forget. It gets into everything & lasts for ages.

The t&c's state:

Photographer Requirements
Need human models
Photographers must have at least (4) different photos specifically of human models. Children, cars, landscapes, animals, etc do not count.

Children aren't human?!?!! I knew it all along! Take that people who said I should have kids. Ha.

HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:

1. She is not a 'BABE' or a 'CHICK'
She is a 'BREASTED AMERICAN.'

2. She is not 'EASY'
She is 'HORIZONTALLY ACCESSIBLE.'

3. She is not a 'DUMB BLONDE'
She is a 'LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.'

4. She has not 'BEEN AROUND'
She is a 'previously enjoyed COMPANION.'

5. She does not 'NAG' you
She becomes ' VERBALLY REPETITIVE.'

6. She is not a 'TWO-BIT HOOKER'
She is a 'LOW COST PROVIDER.'

Ya, it was the first episode I saw since the first series; might as well have been a different show for all I could follow.

SUBJECT: WHY MEN DO NOT WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS

Dear Walter,

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching tv as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbour's daughter. I'm 52, my husband is 54 and the neighbour's daughter is 22. We have been married for 30 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I'd leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?

Sincerely, Sheila

Dear Sheila,
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine.........Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
I hope this helps.

Walter
