Here is a scanned c/n film picture of Barry, a big fish and the resident Barracuda out at Fantasea's large Reefworld pontoons, situated at Hook reef about 35 Km east of the Whitsunday islands ( I used to work as a skipper/yachtie/diver/deckie/underwater photographer in Oz and abroad).
To put the resplendant Barry's size into perspective, the box alloy down strut behind him is 4 inches wide, this strut went to a submerged divers platform 1 metre below the pontoon.
I couldnt get him in the whole shot, he had a habit of cruising up to divers he recognised and getting WAY to close. He was a nice fish to people though.
Date- December 1999
Camera - Niconos with external lighting, Kodak 400 ASA film, auto exposure metering.
This picture is getting a little old just now so i apologise for quality degradation, and water sediment.
Here's a picure I took early this year near Edithburgh on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. As you can see there's a small windmill and some BIG ones. The camera angle doesn't really show how massive the big ones are.
Picture was taken in January 2006 with a Nikon FM3a, 18-35mm lens and Fuji Velvia 50 film.
Up at 3.30 this morning to get to the Balloon grounds before sunrise, and then they changed the airfield, which was good, because there was better light. Canon 300D Tamron 12mm lens 1/125 @ f8 ISO 200.
So, BIG BOYS with their BIG BALLOONS,
and a Little Boy with his little balloon.
It was good fun this morning.
Regards,
Mike

Reason: Reduced size of image
Taken on the 25th November, late. Not sure what settings, as I think I tried them all , but I used the 75-300mm lens on the 400D.

This 2000 year old toothpick in the background is unbelievably big. It is known as 'god of the forrest.' by the Mouri peoples of Northland NZ.
People shown are about 30 meters infront of tree.
This is my "big and small". Snapped this pic the other day... I'm not sure what the bird is, but except for the colouring around the eye it is similar to a Blue-Faced Honeyeater. Could the colour around the eye change during mating/breeding season?
