Cairns summer's were almost 100% humidity PLUS the heat, but I have to say the "winters" up there are outstanding! With regards to a macro lens, you can always but the cheaper option as an extension tube. I've just grown so attached to the I.S. function (Image Stabilising) of the Canon lense that I'm saving for a real lense. Hi Chrissy, I'm glad that you can gather some mojo from my images - I'd like to see it converted to paintings by you!

You answered my question in your comment. I wondered if you used a macro lens or telephoto. I use telephoto too but still have a long way to catch up to you. I need to practise more. Fabulous images.Hope its cooling down. Which heat is the easiest to tolerate. Perth's or Cairns'? Ah! You answered my question in your comment. I wondered if you used a macro lens or telephoto.

The fuschias are just about at the end of their season, and I have had this tree for many years (I actually brought it with me from our previous house 4 yrs ago - it's as tough as old boots). Karen, unfortunately the poor old garden has been scorched with last week's heatwave. Having the equal hottest summer since records began hasn't helped. I have a pile of prunings that resemble a small mountain growing ever vertically outside the kitchen window. Sharon, my best advice is to shoot shoot shoot! Play with all your manual settings and different light conditions. It's quite addictive! I have a Canon 400D, and use my telephoto lens (on manual focus) for my "macro" shots. I'm saving for a "real" macro lens, but they're worth more than the camera! Hi guys,

I can't wait 'till my garden comes up! Beautiful photography! Looks like you have a great camera. I just bought the NikonD5000 and I'm just learning to use it, it's lots of fun.
