@ Odyssey: Flowers rock, I've always said that they're one of the finest tests of good photography. Australian natives are the bomb especially. :nod:

And @ Bob: dude, I totally agree. This particular shot gave me a shock, it was almost pitch black (apart from the streetlight) this night, but the 30-second exposure picked up the dark orange light being bounced off the clouds. Awesome.

Cheers. :) Once I get on the Harbour Bridge, I'll have kilometres of open water to take my photos from, and I'll make a note to try and get the sky completely uncluttered for you. ;)

Heh, cheers Kal. Sometimes the colours are beautiful only when there are clouds, but a clear sky is indeed a beautiful thing. I love how the sun is just kind of peeking out in that shot there. :nod:

he will become docile after that,

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

[color=cc9900]Great pictures Setekh, by the way :) That Aussie sunrise is equivalent to an English mid-day sun height ^_^

kasperl: Yup, the light is way too white. It's the regular flash setting, is why :) I took that shot as comparison mostly.

I took this one with a Sony DSC-P1. It's not great, but it's more portable than the E-20p:



I love the way drinks glasses focus light.[/color]

Odyssey, I like that. :) Interesting plays of light with ordinary objects are half my photos.

I'm keeping an eye out for it, mate. The next time I'm at Circular Quay, at least one of them ought to be in dock. :D

5:30am bro, to arrive at uni for my 8am start. :nod: When daylight saving finishes and as winter sets in, the sunrise will be even later than it is now, so I'll arrive in the city while it's still well and truly dark. :nod:

Oh, and while at the park adjacent to uni, I took some shots of the birdies with my mate Jeremy. Here's one of my favourites... posing like a bald eagle. :cool:
