Back from Cairns

[Dirt_Bike_Ryda]

Hello all. ive been away for two weeks up in Cairns, Nrth QLD, Australia. We had a good time, hired an old car, went SCUBA diving, did alot of walking.. oh and shopping.. seemed to allways be "going shopping" but i didn't ever buy anything.. hmm.... Men watch out.. i think the women are scamming us..

. Some of my photos didn't come out as good i had of like, some came out better then expected. I carried my new and much loved Manfrotto tripod with me almost everywhere (and had too.. because the car we hired was a hatch back with out a proper boot. and i wasn't leaving my $1,000 tripod in the car for all to see...) this tripod allowed me to get some great angles. for one photo i was down on some rocks by a water hole (i wasn't suposed to be there according to signs but argh well) i had one leg fully extended and on the second stopping click, another leg at the shortest and the 3rd about halfway all were on different rock. haha. and i had to use live view because i couldn't get anywhere near the veiw finder, well i could have.. but i think the D90 might have been swimming..
anyway are some of the better ones.

thanks. yeah i only just got that flower one too. i was walking along and saw it. and luckily enough i had my lens cap off and camera on, i just aimed hit the shutter release and walked on !! lol. i didn't think it was going to be any good at all. lifes like that though, someone can spend their whole life trying to get something, and the next person in line gets it spoon fed to them without even asking for it.
