Sydney Park

Sydney Park has long been a frequently access park for me…..plenty of space for everyone and never too crowded… Shows what can be achieved with our waste land…..

Always a favorite spot for photos also!

Quoted from http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/

”

The City of Sydney’s biggest park is not yet 20 years old. Much has been achieved to transform an industrial history of clay extraction and waste disposal into 44 hectares of parkland and a vital asset for the growing communities of the southern districts of the City. With development continuing in the southern districts, there is a growing community need for access to high quality open space.

The 2003 Master Plan prepared in conjunction with the Plan of Management has largely been successfully implemented and now represents the existing situation.

The Detailed Master Plan, builds on the foundation of the Plan of Management, addresses the need to establish a

meaningful vision for further improvements to Sydney Park as part of its ongoing development.

Future works to the park will establish an improved park landscape of greater environment stability and with wider recreation opportunity, so the park can cater for the growing numbers and diversity of users.”

Sometimes the most unexpected images are the best!

dsc_2563_2.jpgNikon 12 year old or so 105mm manual Micro lens! I love this lens, I have learnt more using this lens in the past week then I have ever using any automatic lens!

This lens must be used with a tripod or else you need to be in good light or pop out that flash…that said it’s great way to also learn about how to use the manual flash modes!

What Camera to Buy???

After having my beloved Sony DSC-V1 stolen from my car..(assholes) the decision must be made …what camera to get to replce it….the obvious and favoured choice is the next camera in the series..the SONY DSC-V3, excellent revies…only one downer with it is the auto ISO setting during the P mode….has the tendency to dive higher ISo valuse during bright lights….reduces the quality…apprently tho u just need to watch the ISo and it is great….

The only other camera I was seriously looking at was the Canon EOS 350D, this cammera is in a totally different league tho…this is SLR whereas the sony is more compact which is what i am looking for…

nice review here http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_v3-review/

also the other golden site www.dpreview.com

will probably go the sony….the first V1 served me well….and all the obvious issues i had with it have been corrected…
