Has he finally died of old age, or is he twanging Herberts harp so much he hasn't had time to log on?

No idea what the latter means, but yep he is doing that as it sounds fun :)

He's probably so busy ski-ing and having fun that he hasn't got time to post messages on here. I wish I was busy ski-ing :cry:

Well I LIKE Dave Mac and I'm sure there's nothing wrong with Niederau either - some of my friends keep going back there year after year and they love it.

So, I hope he's having a good time in New Zealand and gets back soon to the ski-ing in Niederau and Obergurgl and wherever else he's going and has a great time :D

Hang on. Who said anything about NOT liking Dave Mac? I only commented that he hadn't been on for ages. I'm sure we ALL hope he's having a great time :roll:

All snow related Adders, just honing my photo and painting skills ready for the real thing in Obergiggle, once I get back into Eurolandland.

Ah, clearly the lesser-spotted snow porpoise there then...

Hope you're having a good time Mister Mac, but you're definitely on the wrong side of the world for the snow.

Thats a kind remark, Tony. It is the three Dolphins jumping that grab, I deleted over 50 attempts trying to get a pic of ONE jumping, then up came three!

Will be looking for a high value photo competion for that one.

Something akin to the 10,000 Euro prize won two seasons ago, of a skier in Niederau.

Mis-read Tony's post and spent several minutes looking for the Dolphins in the picture ^^^ :oops:

Yes, the Dolphins image is a really great shot 8)

I know what you mean Bandit. I have a lovely photo of 3 elephants crossing the Zambezi river - 3 very small dots that only I know are elephants because I was there :lol:

No one mis read my post apart from Dave. I posted the pic I thought was cracking.

The dolphins are out of focus, unless I need my eyes testing?

No. Out of focus. Wrong shutter speed for an action shot I assume.

Nope. The shot was taken at 10 x Optical zoom. I then enlarged it by several multiples digitally. Will try and post the original when my laptop comes back from the menders.

I was on the deck of a small boat, on the rise and fall of a one metre swell. Wet through, cos I had just been in the sea, (Pacific Ocean), swimming with the dolphins. Holding on to the rail with one hand, and the camera with the other.

Shutter speed?? Hahahahaha!

Kudos on the sunset shot, i know how difficult they can be to get right.

It's a Lumix DMC-TZ10. My seond lumix, I left my last one on the Marbachjoch. It's actually a 12x Optical zoom, not a 10x. Takes good videos too. Took my Youtube ski vids with the previous Lumix.
I don't have a prob with sunset pics, just take a pic, then a sip of wine, take another pic, then a sip....., ad nauseum, then delete all except one!

Then, forgive me for saying it but.... you have been VERY lucky with that shot.

Re:Dave Mac

Not entirely lucky, I was hours swimming and taking photos, trying to get a good clean jumping-out-of-water pic of one dolphin.
It was beyond luck to get three, all in perfect composition. These kind of pics are normally taken in captive and training situations, not in the ocean.
I accept the point though.
Wonder what the chances are of getting a pic of three skiers, upside down and clear of the ground, unrehearsed? - )
