> Hi Everyone,
>
> Just wanted to extend a public thank you to all the Ozzie Zuiks who so
> graciously spent time meeting and visiting with me while I was in
> Australia for holiday.
>
> Andrew Fildes and I spent a couple of days together, foraging about
> Melbourne. Andrew proved an informative, entertaining guide and
> conversationalist. The Burke and Wills story was notable...two explorers
> starving to death in the Outback, never asking the Aborigines for help,
> and the Aborigines, who couldn't understand how two men could starve to
> death surrounded by food.
>
> We also met up with Wayne Harridge and Peter Davies for lunch. Thanks to
> Andrew and Peter for their instructions on getting me to Philip Island for
> the MotoGP with a minimum of hassle.
>
> In Sydney, I had a great time meeting up with Marc Lawrence and John
> Wheeler. We spent a very nice time photographing at the Chinese gardens,
> and a nice lunch at the tea house. John also called me on my one sunny day
> in Sydney and met me in Manly, whereupon he ever so kindly drove me out to
> his home, and then out for a look at West Head. He and his gracious wife
> were wonderfuls hosts for the day. Many thanks, John!
>
> I am now here in Toronto, attending a Genetics conference, but when I get
> a chance, I will post a link to some photos from my photo excursions with
> the Ozzie Zuiks.
>
> Thank you all again for making the trip fun and memorable.
>
> I have posted a set of photos on SportsShooter from the MotoGP.
> Photographing the MotoGP with credentials was a wonderful experience. I
> have my photo credential from Dorna autographed by (now six-time) World
> Champion Valentino Rossi as a souvenir. I apologize if the photos look too
> light on some of your monitors...I originally prepped these on the cheesy
> Dell laptop display (with a bad case of 18 hr jetlag, I might add), where
> they looked fine, but they turned out to be notably too dark in the
> midtones on my Dell LCD desktop display at work. I reworked most of them
> to be lighter, but depending on how your monitor is set, this could vary
> noticeably. They may look fine or the may look too light. They are based
> on a monitor profile using color temperature to D65 (6500K) with a
> targeted luminance of 85-90 cd/m^2 for CRT monitors. If you're not
> hardware referencing your monitor, obviously YMMV. Until I get my new
> Monaco Optix XR Pro next week for monitor profiling, I don't have
> a good monitor luminance reference from which to work from, hence the
> possible confusion.
