Hey all, update time!
Yes, i'm still here and alive.
I thought the camera hadn't travelled enough, so I took it on a road trip from Adelaide to Melbourne and back last week/end, chalk up another 1500km to the clock why not.
I had some great pano shots in mind, but unfortunately time/weather/sun/travel didn't coincide in the right way to get what I wanted.
But I got something at least (i probably should have asked earlier whether 'lp' is colour or b+w too).
I've got my selfie shot in mind, which I'll do next week here (I have to do it early morning, and daylight savings starts on sunday, so it'll make sunrise an hour later and easier to get the shot).
So I've got the address of the not-so-loose-anymore-moose in Japan, I should get it posted in about a week or so if it all goes to plan.
