Busy doing nothing.

I have a magnet on my fridge that reads "We lied, size matters"!
How true in this case.
Still I'm not knocking my trusty little sony. It's a good companion that gives me hours of pleasure and requires little in return. And before your dirty little minds can run away with that comment, let me just state for the record I'm not mechanically inclined!
I had originally planned to go windsurfing today but at my level it's soooooooooo much work. I know I won't improve if I don't put in the hours, but the waves have been big all week and this was my first chance to go & watch the big boys. Work or pleasure....I chose the later.
Ka-boom-look at that white water exploding behind him. So if you hear 'it's not the size of the wave, but how you ride it', does that actually mean 'we lied, size matters'?!
And finally, look at the plates of meat(feet)on this bloke! This is Pato coming safely off the rocks yesterday with a mate who has feet like a rabbit! I mean that in the best possible way, because you know what they say about men with big feet......

Oh my god....Mater70 well done! Though you might have to work a bit more on your encrypted messages as I decoded them with no problem!

Jackel: Thanks for the compliments and the cluster map idea :-) And remember-all you need is love, love, love is all you need.

You'll be surprised to know that your little Sony with 12x optical zoom takes photos roughly equivalent to a big 420mm tele-lens.
And if you add full digital zoom (see my photos at Kanaha on my blog for example), that goes up to 840mm.
Without even mentioning the crazy prices of those tele-lenses.

What changes is the quality of the photo that will be inferior (even with the optical zoom only).
If you need magazine quality photos, than size matters.
But for the use we do (take photos and put them on the web), our little Sony rocks.

Mater70, I agree with you about the boredom of my comment, but they call me "il professore" (the teacher) and sometimes I have to keep up with my nicknames...

I'm also know as the Phenomenom and I'm about to become the Johan Cruijff of the waves.

Different nicknames for different skills...

Oh, that's just me.
