a bit too moody maybe? what do you think everyone?

I most certainly will doruksal and I truely hope that one day I shall make it to ANZAC Cove on ANZAC Day and to spend that day with fine company like yourself would be most appropriate and appreciated.

No Criticism taken PunkClown and I appreciate all the advice and feedback I recieve here at renderosity.

Misha I am no expert but I will try to explain as much of it as I can, but it may not be 100% correct.
ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand Armed Corp. And ANZAC DAy is the day the ANZACS landed at Gallipoli. Gallipoli was a beach head area of Turkey that the ANZACS landed on during the second world war. The name of the place they landed has been changed to Anzac Cove in recognition of the battle. I think somewhere around 27,000 Australians lost their lives fighting on that beach head. There was a mistake made by the people who planned the landing and they landed on the wrong beach. The beach was extremely well defended and the ANZACS where massively out numbered and had no where near as much fire power, the battle for that beach head lasted for several months and not until ordered to retreat did the ANZACS take one backward step; and thus the ANZAC spirit was created.
The above photograph is of Sampson and his donkey. Sampson was a heroic stretcher bearer who risked his own life far more times then anyone should have had to in order to bring the wounded back to safety for treatment. Sampson used the donkey to transport the wounded.

ANZAC day is a day of commemoration of our Ex-Service men and women for all their sacrifices over the years and battles.

It is also a day most of us have way to much to drink and play Two Up but that is a whole storey on its own.

If anyone knows more about The Battle of ANZAC Cove please feel free to share your knowledge and correct any mistakes on my behalf.

I am up in Coffs Harbour PunkClown. I am not too good at using the selection tools and blurring the backgrounds but if you would like the full sized jpeg file just let me know your email and I will send it to you so you can play with it if you would like? What part of the Aussie woods do you live in PunkClown?

Like Sue I have never owned a Casio but I do own a coolpix 995 and I also purchased the EagleEye Optic Zoom (Expensive compared to some other teleconverters but the image quality and light gathering ability is tremendous, and as such i think it is good value. I hope that makes sense). The EagleEye works extremely well with the CP995. The CP995 has a four times Optical zoom and I do not get any vignetting as long as I use optic zoom on the camera at 2 times or greater. But make sure you check out the compatability of the EagleEye with your Casio before buying it if your thinking along those lines, as some cameras do not work well with the EagleEye Optic Zoom. The image with this message was taken hand held with the CP995 EagleEye Optic Zoom Combo in low light conditions. The effective focal length was approximately 750mm.

Hi SueO and Michelle A. The hotmirror is still in place in the CP995 and the above IR photograph only used an exposure of 1 second with the camera set with an ISO of 100. I am still learning/playing and discovering what are the best settings to use with the CP995 for IR work; but when I have it figured out i will post more images. The IR image above was only cropped and had a border placed around it. No other post processing was done to the image.

Rork thanks for showing me what the high speed kodak film would produce. I only had the iso on my digital camera set to 100 but it can go as high as 800 ( although digital noise becomes a problem then ); but I wonder if increasing the iso to 400 or 800 on the digital camera would produce results similar to what you have been able to show me? I think I will give it a go as it can't hurt to experiment I guess. I only recieved the filter in the mail today so I have not had time to get out and take more shots as of yet. But when i do I will post them for all to see.

Hi Sue glad to have you with us. I am relatively new to this forum myself, but I am learning a tremendous amount from everyone here; and I look forward to your input into this forum.

The Largest Rabbit in the world hey Slynky?? I figure the easter bunny would have to be the biggest rabbit in order for it to carry all those chocolate eggs all over the world to all the boys and girls at easter. You have to tell me, they are going to let it go right? They are not going to spoil easter for all the boys and girls, and for me, one of the worlds biggest chocoholics?

I have seen something of a similar nature to what ASalina has seen. I was in my room at one of the casinos in Las Vegas where there was a sticker on the mirror in the room which said something like this. "In the interest of the conservation of electricity could you please turn off all the room lights prior to leaving your room." The mirror was right near a window that looked out onto the Vegas strip. Now imagine the contrast of the sticker and the lights of Vegas through the window at night. I still laugh to myself when I remember that sticker.
