I think he is asking if your images were taken using a crop-sensor camera body, or full-frame (FF).


Sorry, yes, thats what I was asking ! Providing half the information in a sentence is quite common for me :lol:

OK, no problem. Be interested to see your results. Looks like you might miss the worst of the weather? Tip...take a Beenie, it'll be more comfortable.

Thanks for the webcam link. I'm struggling to get the serial from the 4th Hornet along just in front of the island. Anyone else got it?

Thank you very much: turned out I couldn't get away this morning, probably going in a while and will stay for sunset. (Optimist, I know...)

Well my plans for the trip tomorrow are cancelled, weather played a big part in the decision which I had to make today, but also have to work Friday now.

Hope everyone gets nice pics and 'dry' weather :)

That's a shame, but why not try for the other boat that goes from Gunwarf Quays jetty at 5.30 each day? You can't pre book that one other than turning up at the booth in plenty of time. I believe he said last week when I spoke to him they were running 4 boats on a first come first served basis....Just get there early enough and you can always walk round the shops or go up the Spinnikar tower first...Just a thought..

Hi there

Other half does not live near me, so we had to tie in a trip with his plans as well. He now has to work the weekend (self employed), so we are doomed all round ! I look forward to other people's pics !!

Just be aware there is also a music festival called 'driftwood' at Stokes Bay this weekend so traffic may be a issue later in the day. Hoping to see it turn on the tide at 09:30.
