    How do you y'all use such tiny keyboards? I need acres of wrist-rest area and keys as widely spaced as possible!

    Lovely case there, only issue I'd have with it the switches exposed. I like mine hidden :p

    Haha it's not different from using a normal keyboard when typing since it basically is just the area you type with :p

    It takes a little getting used to not having dedicated arrow keys etc, but I've no desire to go back to something bigger.

    Thanks :)

    Thanks :)
    I personally like the look, with the plate (almost) flush with the case.

    Still not sure on the ergo clears though, and part of me regrets buying the whole thing :p

    Wait, there's a plate there? Couldn't see that, guess that's not too bad then :p I thought it was like I've got at the moment (with no plate) and you could see the PCB.

    I've got a couple of other pictures of it on my flickr.

    Here's one which shows the plate:

    Oooh, that looks rather awesome! If I was actually able to solder, I'd consider getting a plate for mine.

    Nice shot supermonkey! What on earth is it, some lizardy newt/gecko thing?!

    Went to Castle Combe yesterday for the first big event of the year, and my first ever motorsports event with my camera! I now have a whole new level of appreciation and admiration for everyone that shoots non-static subjects!!

    Was a bit lost to start with, didn't know what shutter speed to use, where to stand and when to shoot! It was also my first day with my new 55-200mm 4-5.6 VR so I was also getting to grips with a new focal length - all good fun!

    A few of my favourites from the whole day, critique would be much appreciated - especially from bdigital, stonedsurd and dead beat! Need some tips guys!

    All shot hand held, may take a tripod or buy a monopod for the next event! Sky was quite overcast and cloudy all day so the lighting was a bit against me but enjoyed the day very much and satisfied with the shots I took although I'm looking to make a lot of improvements!

    Cheers

    Thanks. It's a Carolina Anole (commonly called a green anole or simple just an anole. They are as common as dirt around here.

    Blame MDK if this is pushing the boundaries a bit far :p

    Shot with natural light and a large reflector to the right for fill...

    And yes, sorry about the double watermark, I only realised yesterday that I'd done that!

    Supermonkey: That lizard shot is great :D Can't believe it did not run away from you!

    I've been very very busy with a wedding craze...
    Recently came back from a destination wedding.
    Just phone pics for now:

    Good effort! 1 and 2 are my favourites. The first one because it shows the action, and the 2nd one because I like your composition and the fact that its different from the norm.

    The hard part with cars is that if you shoot too fast they can look boring and static. Be brave and slow down your shutters to get some action into the shots. Bikes are easier because of the human element/lean angles giving the impression of speed.

    Also, get low as you can. Cars and bikes dont always look so pretty if you are shooting down onto them (unless its a creative thing your going for).

    Il be shooting the touring cars again this weekend and trying to take on my own advice lol. Easier said than done!!

    Duel ≠ dual!

    But great shot nonetheless :)

    Here's a pair of panning shots from me:
