MasterDon Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 a DSLR cake anyone? Some woman's husband had a bakery make her a Nikon D700 cake, then he gave her the actual camera afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pericles Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Captured a rather interesting beast at Yala last weekend. Good thing the SLR has a high ISO and an IS lens, or this wouldn't be possible. Check the guy in front. That is a green oval on the door. There was also one on the bonnet. Guess he's not a big Toyota fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to know where to do the tweaking up. heheee! Yep, shame the D&S didnt work out for you last time. We could try a small one again, but these days it rains like nothing and that too only during the very small window of lighting thats ideal for photography. We'll see.. Btw, i dont suppose there'll be a AL G2G sometime in late December early Jan? If i recall there hasnt been one in some time, right?

The Don Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Ripper said: hmm...wonder why ladies keep away from AL? are they not into the whole car forum thing or what Well Ripper I think it is the combination of the two which has limited their participation ! I mean if you look at the auto lanka membership you will note a significant percentage of people in the IT industry But sitting in front of a computer all day for pleasure isn't something most members of the fairer sex I know are that fond of. Then we have to combine that with the numbers who are genuinely interested in the mechanics of automobiles (not simply cars but their function as well ), and combine them with the number of them who actually has time for this sort of thing with various other distractions and well ......... its not looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
