    Wet sensor clean

    I use the visible dust swabs and fluid. These ones by Eclipse look like they may be cheaper. Might try them next time. Thanks for the linky to the Aussie stockist @wombat

    Pictures from my week away at my sisters. Alot of them were taken with her old camera after mine got wet and stopped working. I also broke my glasses on the first day there so was struggling all week. Quite a few are not up to par but I had a great week. The whale watching trip was a bit of a...

    Fill flash with long lenses and the Better Beamer

    OK....getting better at this.... I like it, although I still rely on autofocus for birds so really low light means the camera struggles to focus, but even so, my settings prior to getting the better beamer would have been ISO 2000, f 6.3 & 1/40 - 1/60 if I was lucky

    Fill flash with long lenses and the Better Beamer

    Thanks Brad, I'll try that with the brick wall I actually didn't do too badly today as it happens. Still plenty of room for improvement but better than I thought I'd done. I think I had flash at 1/2, so I'll try it back at 1/4 tomorrow and see how that goes.

    Dirty Sensor

    I have some pretty crappy dirt on my sensor. I've cleaned it twice now recently (today at latest) using visible dust products. I've just ordered a different cleaning fluid as I have no idea what that big black mark actually is, and I've run out of fluid now anyway. So.....if it doesn't come...

    We got out to Moreton Island again...only for the 1 night. It's been really crappy weather her lately. Either raining or blowing too hard. As it was on this particular night the wind came up and my fella sat up all night as he could not sleep. We'd had a new anchor winch put on recently and...

    Been a pretty crap week. Ex tropical cyclone Debbie tore on down the coast as a tropical low bringing torrential rain ( we had 600mm or 24 inches in 36hrs) which has bought extensive flooding to many areas. At least 8 houses in the tiny village I live in were flooded, or damaged by landslides...

    So...what has Vixen been up to since middle of last year? Not much,...... but in September we found a buyer for our little yacht, even though it wasn't for sale and then in November we bought a bigger yacht even though it wasn't for sale either. Things sometimes just work out like that. She's a...
