Well, I've forgotten what I've been asked to post here and I'm too lazy to root around in the forums to find out... Here's a small selection of my favourites from the last two weeks....

Here's a couple macros:



My all-time favourite so-far: (no, she's not mine)



I think someone wanted to see a hockey shot: (me, taken by my wife)



Here's an example of the zoom/IS:



Actually, that concert produced some really interesting shots...


Note: These photos have not been altered in any way, except for the resizing.

hah ..
thats quite nice ...
i like the second flower one ..
even thought the subject is smack bang in the midlle ..
it had a really shallow depth of field ..

i like blurry backgrounds with flora ..

Ditto - love the blurry background with the flower photos, Cailean.

Love the photo of the little girl too, and the lighting.

Oooh, image stabilisation...

im wanting IS now ...
those pictures are great sharpness for the light availivle in them...
but unfortunately .. IS costs too much for me ~_~

The photo of the little girl is absolutely gorgeous! Well done mate!

Yeah, that was my second day with the camera and I was just playing with the macro and not thinking too much about composition.

Thanks for the compliments on Grace... I spent a whole afternoon shooting her at a friends house just for practice. She's one of those kids that makes it hard to take a bad photo.

Those last two concert pics are really throwaways, but I thought they were interesting... The red glowing guy was caused by the stage lights... I have a bunch of those. The last one is a mess but it's kind of an interesting effect
