Some photos from my time away

I came back from the Hunter Valley about 1 week ago but have been busy with work and playing around with my new camera (which you can see in the posts below). I must say i am very pleased with the results the lens and this camera are giving. This isnt a review or anything of the sort just sharing some photos i took of a flower down at the Hunter Valley Gardens and some pictures of Sydney Harbour and the Opera house at night that i took from the window of the Four Seasons Hotel. Ill get around to posting a proper review of the camera some time soon i hope.. but for now enjoy these photos..

Going away this weekend

Im going this weekend to the Hunter Valley (2-3 hours from Sydney) its known for its wine tasting vineyards. Although im not into wine im going down there just to get away from it all and most likely go to the chocolate factory down there as i have one heck of a sweet tooth.

Ill be taking down my new camera so i plan to take quite a few shots which i will post when i get back and ill also get around to doing a review on the camera too.

Have a great weekend all and see you when i get back.

New camera ordered

I ordered a new Digital SLR camera over the weekend as im really getting into digital photography and to all those out there that do photography i know the most important thing when it comes to the quality of your photos is that it doesn't come from the camera but the lens itself. Hence the reason ill get an L telephoto and an L macro lens when my finances allow me.. So this is what i have ordered so far.

Canon EOS 30D body
with a EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens. Some pictures below of the camera and lens i have ordered. Once i get the camera (sometime next week i hope as that depends on customs) ill post some pictures of it. Ah i cant wait to get my hands on it... so excited!! ^_^

Here is a scale shot of the 1/144 Weibritter compared to a Master Grade 1/100 Gundam injection kit...

WeiBritter 1/144 scale Injection Kit

I started making this 1/144 scale injection kit by Kotobukiya about 1 week ago which i ordered from hlj.com (Hobby Link Japan). The model is of WeiBritter from an Anime series known as Super Robot Wars. Im new to making models so you may find them to be a bit messy and if you have any hints and tips for me to improve then be sure to tell me. ^_^. The only tools im using are a modeling knife which is very sharp mind you (found out the hard and painful way).. some gundam markers and 400-1000 grit finishing sandpaper. Im going to do some panel lines on it once i receive my fine black maker pen... Hopefully this will be finished tomorrow and i can post its final picture.
