You have a good point there Stephen. I think you could buy and race a super motard for less than a Nikon!

Clifton, I bumped into an old friend at the track this morning, he was wearing a T shirt and on the back it said: "The older I get, the faster I was"

The white flower looks even bolder in this image than the previous one. Congrats on becoming a donor. I hope you didn't pick this flower ;-) Rob

I think I would rather buy 16 Minolta Z1's than just one Nikon body :-P . I think I could modify a Z1 for a lot less than you pay for some of the high end kit!

Teunis, I realised these action shots are going to need a lot of practice, for reasons I mentioned in my comment to Jeroen. I took over 500 images today, but I think I will need to do another 5000 before I'll be happy!

Jeroen, I set the camera to shoot continuous, which means it can shoot at 1.5 frames a second while you hold the shutter release. The only problem is that the image disappears from the electronic viewfinder most of the time while shooting and you only get a glimpse now and then to check if you are still tracking the subject. I have a lot of chopped off and blank pics! An optical viewfinder is what you need for this. (Is Minolta listening?). Robert

Hi Guido, no he didn't fall, he actually won the race. Here is a picture of him celebrating. These are off-road bikes running on slick tires on a go-kart track! Glad you enjoyed it. Robert

What I find more amazing than bird's feather colours is the colour of their skin! This is a great shot of a wise old chap. I watched Linn photographing parrots and it is difficult because they want to show off for the camera!

Really cute kitten, I love the spectacles! His whiskers are very neat and his "M" is so pronounced. (I also have an XG1, but it is easier to use my wife's digital camera).

Wow, there is enough detail to manufacture these creatures from this photo. How long do they sit still for, and do you focus manually? It looks like your lens setup gives you a good depth of field at that distance, I guess about 20mm.

If you can use mannequins in your images, so can I ! It was fun pretending though, and this statue at the Safari Nursery in Pretoria presented an opportunity too tempting to miss. Robert

I must admit I hadn't noticed how bright the background was when I took the shot, probably because my prescription specs darken in bright sunlight. I'll have to pay attention to that in future. Regards, Robert

Looks like Leonardo da Vinci's study of the circulatory and muscle systems in an arm. Judging from the colour of the sand, you are in Durban? Great shot, lucky no-one stepped on it! Robert

Hi Emgy, glad to see you posted a photo in your bio, but where is the Alfa Romeo?
This is now my third visit to this image!
I think this picture is better than any words in the English language, so I can't express my feelings about it. I love the threatening dark clouds, but the women don't seem too worried about them. There are plenty of interesting things in the reflection as well. Great piece of art! Robert (I'm going to give you a seven, and I hope it doesn't drag your rating down ;-)

The policeman looks puzzled by the two headless "prisoners" having escaped from behind bars next door! Or maybe he has just caught a fashion wake-up. Nice photo Walt.

It looks like the last coat of paint was prior to 1954 judging by the licence discs! I think it could do with some oil at least so it can last another 50 years :-). Robert
