Sooty's random photos

Ok, so i don't claim to be a photographer, but like to think i can take a decent picture and play with it in photoshop a little to achieve a decent shot.
Here are a few shots i've taken on my recent trip to darwin, open to any comments or criticism :thumbs:

Using a Sony a200 DSLR mostly with the 18-75 and 70-300mm lenses.

ok,,, the alma was built in melbourne, and served up here during war times etc, spent a fair few years here being fixed by volunteers, and a few years ago it was sent back. just looks familiar. iirc it is the only one of its type still surviving.

Ah cool, we were on the anniki, an old pearl lugger from the 50's, has featured in films like 'Australia'

nice pics Ain, looks like a beautiful place.
