Thanks Marilynne. Another lady makes this soap, and yes the display is in our store. My Wife has got a small range to try for Mothers Day. If it sells well, she will probably continue to stock it.
So far there has been plenty of admiration and positive comments about it from the customers, but not many sales. Hopefully it will get better.
Still playing around trying to get familiar with using ViewNX2, I will be glad when there is an update for Aperture so I can process my D7100 raw files.
I took this one yesterday with the 55D f2.8. This Buddha is in a part of my pool garden.
When I converted this file to jpeg to put on here, I used the highest compression ratio, and resized to 1800 pixels x 1200. This resulted in a file size of 273 kb, I normally aim for around 100 kb for my photos that I put on here, so I might have to size a bit smaller yet.

Same walkaround, switched to the 70-300VR for these ones.
This poor Dove has lost its tailfeathers, there have been a few Hawks around lately after the neighbours killed one of their cattle and dumped the carcass in their quarry, so I am guessing it may have been hit by one of them.
It is still flying, so maybe it will survive OK.
The 2nd pic is a crop of the first.

Another backyard walk this afternoon. Experimenting with different settings for U1/U2 for birds.Found this pair of Red Tailed Black Cockatoo's eating some Gumnuts on a high branch. It wasn't easy getting good clear shots of them as they were high up in the branches, I just had to try and find gaps between the foliage to get a shot of them as best I could.They wern't being vey cooperative. This one is the male, they have the bright red tail feathers. I tried to pull some detail out of the shadows to see him a bit better, but I might have gone too far, as the feathers on his back have blown out a bit. The sun was to the left in the photo.And a tight crop of his head, must be 100% crop or more, not sure how to tell for sure. The top pic is cropped as well.EDIT- I replaced this pic with a tamed down version, as it was worse than I first thought .
This one is a female, they have more markings on the feathers all over their body, more yellow on the tail, with some red visible when she spreads her tail feathers.
Both together.

Brad there might be a work around for your RAW files...
Apple, for instance, uses the DNG format to make new cameras compatible with Aperture before they are officially supported. When a new camera comes out that Apple is not yet compatible with, it’s typically possible to convert that raw file to DNG with the Adobe DNG converter, and then open it in Aperture.
The Adobe DNG Converter is available free from Adobe

Yes it is possible...here is an example of the flexibility of DNG!

In post #43 you said you would be glad when you could open your RAW files in Aperture as I guess you were maybe having some difficulty with NX2...
Download the ACR/DNG Converter from the link I gave you in post #51...this converter supports the D7100
Use said freeware to convert your RAW files into DNG files...
Then you will be able to open them in Aperture...

That might explain it a bit easier for me, I will have a read up on that a bit later and see if I can make some sense of it.
Thanks for that.
You probably noticed I gave the NX2 a miss, and went back to Aperture, hence the jpeg photos. I find Aperture easier to use . If this will get me back to taking RAW files and being able to precess them using Aperture it will be a plus for me.
I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, had a quick try at using it, but not much luck with it.
So far I can't get my photos from my camera into the converter. I think maybe I have to put them in a folder on the computer first and then transfer them into the converter.
I am too tired to keep going with it tonight, will try again tomorrow after work.

Been real busy with work lately, so not many photos taken.
But my son had some dramas with his car the other day, while helping him get it out of the bog hole, I whipped the camera out and took a few shots.
Couldnt waste too much time, as we had to race the incoming tide to get the car out and get back along 2 beaches before the water was too high.
I am using the 24-85G here that I have and dont like.
I didnt like it on my D3100 and I dont like it any better on the D7100, I am sure it should be better than what it is, I dont think my technique is totally at fault, as I have taken test shots on a tripod and compared the shots with the 18-55vr which produced the better photos out of the 2.
Anyway I have a 16-85 on order, but it is out of stock, they tell me they will have it next week. This one will get sold once I have the new one in my hands.

More Rock Wallabies .
Took a few shots of this young Mother eating my lawn this afternoon.
You can see in a couple of the photos that her pouch has a small bulge and the entrance is slightly open.
Judging by the size of it, the Joey would be still very small and would not have any hair yet.
