    I'll see what I can dig up in the next few days, I'm no where near the level most people on here will be but I keep improving :)

    Here are a few from the last 2 months, the 100mm macro was used for two and the rest were the 100-400mm. I don't have photoshop so all images just have some sharpening and a slight amount of saturation to try and get it closer to real life colour. The moon image also had cropping to fill the frame and also to get a square frame. The Dusky Langurs are the ones from the Adelaide Zoo.

    That's what I did, spend a few minutes everyday chuck it on manual and experiment with varying settings to see the outcome

    Yeah that is the plan, but it gets so hectic closer to Christmas, doesn't it?

    Does anyone buy second hand lenses? And if so, which shop/website do you recommend?
