Look at that! Do I need to explain why it is my favourite photo on Flickr today? Excellent work by Gavan Mitchell and Phil Taylor.

Roadtrip 2009, the plan.
Well this years road trip is coming up and I am after tips and places to see along the Murray River. I am going to try and start as near to the source as possible, and then spend 2 weeks driving along the Murray, probably as far as the SA border.
If I have time, I might even go up to Mungo NP from Mildura.
Any advice from people that either live along the route or have done a similar trip would be greatly appreciated.
Road trip! Whoohooo!
Potential route.

I have had quite a few people ask about buying this photo as a print, so last night I uploaded it to RedBubble and it is now available in a number of different formats.
Please note, the image on RedBuble doesn’t have the black and white border.
Buy one, get one FREE!!!!
The 52 week project is still rolling on, and I have missed posting week 8 on the blog, so this week, I give you 2 for the price of 1! What a deal. The 1st ten callers will also receive a set of rusty and blunt steak knives. But wait, there is more. If you call now, yes, now, we will throw in a 2nd set of rusty and blunt steak knives for the unheard of price of $354.99.
Week 8, and it was the photo the masses had been asking for. A full frontal nude shot.
What an arse of a shot to set up. I really should have diffused the flash to soften the shadows a touch. Ah well, you live and learn. Pity there wont be a next time for the shower shot. Or will there? Stay tuned.
Week 9. The 1st day of spring, and I decided I would ride my push bike to work and back. A nice 50km round trip through dairy farms and some nice flat country.
That shot was taken on the way home yesterday. You wouldn’t realise I was humming along at about 25kph at the time. Well you might if you look at the look on my face.
There you go. 2 more weeks down in the 52 Week Project.
EOS 7D, another new DSLR!
Another new EOS camera in the Canon range of DSLRs. The 1st xD series with a cropped sensor. Hmmm.
The Canon EOS 7D is packed with new features:
* 18 MP APS–C CMOS Sensor
Designed and manufactured by Canon, the sensor produces an outstanding image and offers fantastic performance at high and low conditions, thanks to a new photodiode and microlens construction.
* 8 fps image capture
Enabled by the Dual “DIGIC 4” processors and improved electrical system, photographers can capture images at 8fps, without the need for additional accessories and in all file types.
* ISO Range
The EOS 7D enables photographers to capture subjects in their natural light. The ISO range (100 – 6,400) is expandable to 12,800.
* EOS Movie
With improved operation, making it easy to switch directly to movie mode, it is now even simpler to shoot Full HD video. Users can set exposure and frame rate – with options for 24 fps to create that cinematic feel.
* Dual “DIGIC 4” processors
By utilising Dual “DIGIC 4” processors, users of the EOS 7D never have to compromise between shooting speed, image quality and ISO performance.
* Impressive Design
Canon has listened to photographer feedback when designing the body, as well as the internal technologies. A magnesium alloy body offers environmental protection – the tough, lightweight construction is designed to defend against moisture, and dust – equivalent to the legendary EOS–1N.
The camera is compatible with a wide range of accessories so it can easily be integrated with a photographer’s workflow. The Wireless File Transmitter (WFT-E5) allows extensive camera control via a web browser – allowing photographers to control the camera using a web-enabled mobile device.
The EOS 7D is compatible with all EF and EF-S lenses as well as Canon EX Speedlites. The Canon EOS 7D can also be used with Battery BG-E7, and remote controllers and switches such as the remote Controller RC-1/RC-5.
