Thanks Peter. Very happy with the camera, and glad I made the investment. I think there's plenty within range to explore in high detail now and enjoying the new horizons (LRGB etc). Having fun anyway

Well done.
Many thanks Doug. I'm probably bit too conservative some might think, but like to move ahead in small steps with new gear/techniques until I know I've figured something out. I set out to do a couple of objects for 4hrs and a number between 1-3 hrs at Wiruna just to see how I'd go. First chance I've had to collect decent colour data since I got the camera in January thanks to Qld weather, and pleasantly surprised have managed to get some half decent images from the camp to show for efforts.
