G'day Chris
A couple of "odd" descriptions in there - eg No 20 doesn't look much like a road and No 25 looks like a very wet
camp :-)
Some excellent shots. Not your average point and shoot display.

Hi Moose
Thanks for the feedback. Both captions - No 20 is a photo of the road but a lizzard got in the way - thought I'd submit it any way!!
No 25 shows Troopy on right. This is a magic spot when the river's running
well - sandy bottom, 30cms deep, few people.
Cheers
Chris

Hey Chris - now I've seen the vehicle in that photo. So it is a
camp. Certainly looks like a great spot - all the better if there are few others around.
The photo's don't open up to a very large size for me so I missed it.
What camera did you use?
Cheers from the Moose

HI Moose
I'm on a dial up line so I have to keep file size small - thus opted for webpage sizing. This is the first tour with digital - certainly makes life a lot simpler - and the Canon 400D SLR is very easy to understand - and 10mp delivers really fine detail. Only took away the bog-standard 18-55mm lens which is a bit limiting in some situations (hence occasional blurring/out of focus).
Have now fitted much better quality lens but alas it's sitting at home with me.
Oh... I did notice that one of the thumbnail pics opened up another - have now fixed that. It's now the last pic which shows the nature of the Kidson.
MUST say however that most of the Kidson is an easy run - but every hour or so you will encounter stuff like this - with or without washouts
Cheers
Chris

Beautiful photos Chris . Have you worked on them in Photoshop or are they untouched ?
Willie .

HI Willie
This was first usage. I underexpposed most phots on the whole trip due to LCD display continually showing all phots too
bright. Thus I closed apperture .5-1 stop. Result was uniformly slightly drab - disappointing. Put them through the autobrightness process in bulk and back they came corrected - excellent process and results are true to life - no enhancement.
In future I'll be discounting what the LCD shows. Don't know if it's a problem others have found - or whether I'm using a wrong brightness setting in the first place. (I simply left it on auto white setting in all conditions.)
Cheers
Chris
