Yeah, unfortunately that sad old git is ME.
You wouldn't believe the argument I had with the missus to get her to take the photo - and she wasn't anywhere near the edge.
Safer than it looks but it really is a hell of a drop!

mistry · 02-10-2009, 06:34 AM

Looks great.

Hope you don't mind but I did a little edit to crop and rotate it. what do you think?

booforty · 02-10-2009, 06:51 AM

Wow, that is a phenomenal picture!

Not bad, I would have preferred him doing pull ups on the edge.

booforty · 02-10-2009, 12:07 PM

A one-handed handstand whilst beating his chest like Tarzan with the other hand would have been even more impressive...

lons · 02-10-2009, 12:37 PM

Hey c'mon fellas - it was scary enough standing looking over the edge.
The cropped pic does look more dramatic - must get around to sorting the photos out as there are some excellent shots among them despite the fact I'm a useless photographer. We're doing a 5 week Hong Kong / New Zealand / Australia / Singapore trip later this year so have to get some practice in.

Practice your hand stands before you go!

lons · 02-10-2009, 12:42 PM

As an aside - I'm obviously biased but if you ant to view some really good photos, check out my son's flikr listings.

Not sure there are any 300 ft drops at the barrier reef but quite happy to do the hanstands whilst scuba diving. (Might scare the sharks)

booforty · 02-10-2009, 12:51 PM

lol! Have a great time, sounds an amazing trip

Thanks for that - I'll pass it on to him.

Don't know where he gets it from, I've got the same camera but mine are crap.

Bit worrying really, I've heard the milkman si in to photography!

booforty · 02-10-2009, 05:03 PM

You should take the milkman on holiday with you, then you'll get some good shots

lons · 02-10-2009, 06:22 PM

yeah - right

NathanJT · 02-16-2009, 12:06 PM

Had a play with Louis this weekend to try to get a shot of him smiling for the camera (normally he either looks away or frowns the second a camera comes out).

Anyway, here's the best (without drool):

He was 6 months old at the weekend. Something tells me it's about to get a whole lot harder!

And one from a walk

Received a Raynox 250 today so had a play with the FZ28 - unfortunately, the adaptor doesn't fit the camera so had to hold the lens upto the camera whilst trying to focus - no tripod!

Porscha! · 02-28-2009, 08:05 AM

Paul - Those are wonderful

I must get my camera out, lost the plug that goes into the battery charger for my camera so haven't took any photos in ages

Here's a couple I took on honeymoon last year
