Haven't posted for a while but just wanted to continue my praise for the A700. A few shots from our trip to Malaysia and Borneo and from around the home. Hope to get a tripod soon to open up more photographic possibilities. regards
Steve.

Nice shots, Steve.
The monkey (macaccus) is great, the peacock's WB should be fixed a bit I think.

Thanks for the comments Dr. Harout. I did have ago with the peacock, fixing it a bit but the actual lighting was quite dark with a lot of greenery. I need to set my camera up with a few custom modes so I dont have to fiddle too much in the field. Once again any comment can make you think in a different direction, which is good.

So you don't shoot raw? For me this saves a lot of this 'fiddling', especially with the white balance in tricky situations.

Good set of pics btw, I especially enjoyed the young musician.

Thanks for looking springm.
I know I should shoot raw but I suppose I could be a bit lazy when it comes to processing them afterwards. I intend to take my photography more seriously in the new year and will definately being shooting in raw then.
Here's a couple more from my fav. camera so far. :D

The last shot is fantastic. Just I would've cropped it a bit leaving the flag out (with all respect, it's just that the colors are distracting from the overall shot. Again my respects to the flag and the country.)

Thanks Dr Harout, I agree the coloured flag is out of place, Im in the process of removing the flag via photoshop.
Thanks[SiC] for looking .
