Some Grunty Cameras........
I zoomed in on the type of cameras etc used by the pros to capture Perth, CHOGM, Great Aussie BBQ and of course The Queen, Prince Philip and all the celebs!
FINALLY..........
Got an edited pic from Picasa 3 up onto my blog. This is from a Hawaiian party 3 weeks go. Evening turned out cool hence the warmer clothes! Will try this more often now.

Late Report on seeing the Queen!
Now lets see:
* Just over 2 weeks ago I saw the Queen and Prince Philip when I attended 'The Great Aussie BBQ here in Perth. I walked down to the Perth Foreshore with a good mate early Saturday morning in attempt to get a good spot! We waited over 2 hours for them to come but it was worth it. We saw people who we've seen on TV, many photographers with HUGE expensive looking cameras so the atmosphere was new. We heard the Queen speak on stage as well as Colin Barnett although we couldn't see her on stage from our position. However Her Majesty and Prince Philip came walking down past us, only maybe 3 metres away from me. I lifted up a random little 3 year old boy who was cute as dressed in a suit with flowers to give the Queen. A body guard collected them. I think his Dad arrived a bit later but the little boy was cute enough to push himself forward in the crowd a bit! When watching the news later that night I saw a flash of the boy sitting on his Dad's shoulders earlier before the Queen's arrival. I have to say the Queen looks great for 85 and Prince Philip looks very fit and sharp for 90! It was great to have a water and sausage on bread at the end, - profits went to charity! I don't have any clear pics of the Queen unfortunately. May add a couple of pics if a couple of Perth look decent!
