Good on you for having a go, anyway, mate. I almost killed myself when I went rolling down Mount Ainslie this evening after I lost my footing thanks to a wind gust -- the rocks were all covered in moss and it was so slippery. I'm just so thankful that I didn't get too badly hurt or that my camera/lenses didn't go for the ride with me.

Thanks mate. Still getting used to the 5DII/17-40 combo. Does distort more than I thought it would. Inception - haven't seen it yet but understand what you mean from seeing the ads

Hope you didn't get too injured for your troubles.

(And thanks for the kind words Troy and Dennis - much appreciated!)

Cheers,
Stephen

Could only afford to get out on Thurs night unfortunately. I'll take a look at your shots now.

This was taken from the top of the cliffs on River Terrace where they do the rock-climbing. Kangaroo Point?

Thanks mate. I think I was only out there due more to idiocy than heroicism.

cheers Chrsi

Thanks mate. Just due to the wide lens distortion. I tried to blame the wind for making the buildings lean, but Humayun wouldn't believe me.
