Not letting things fall through the cracks
It’s been an extremely busy time at Sidpicky HQ. We have decided to leave beautiful Sydney and move to Singapore. Moving your life from one country to the other is a super complicated affair and we are trying to not let anything slip through the cracks. This week, I posted a photoset on the famous Sydney Fish market, featured the ‘Road Less Travelled’ blog and posted a picture of the majestic Sydney Opera house basking in the autumn sun. In case you missed them here are the links to the posts.

Resources I discovered last week:
Lowepro Protrekker Camera Bag : With my first African Safari less than a month away, I am in the market for a sturdy and flexible camera bag that can fit in telephoto lenses and be light enough to fit under the strict baggage restrictions imposed by African airlines. The ProTrekker AW Series seems to tick most of the boxes.
Nikon D800 review: While I am a Canon guy through and through, I do like to keep a friendly eye on the competition and enjoyed reading the excellent review of the Nikon D800 by the folks at dpreview.com. It does appear to be class leading in a lot of the specs and builds on the amazing success of the D700. If you are a professional using Nikon gear, you will enjoy reading this post.
Smugmug and SEO: As you can tell my blog is hosted on Smugmug and it is really important to have your account geared up for Search traffic from Google. Here is an excellent post to ensure you are showing up consistently high in search rankings.
Places I yearn to go:
New Zealand’s South Islands: Having lived in Sydney for so many years, I am kicking myself that I haven’t gone down to the South Islands yet. This post from Heels and Wheels fills me with profound regret on what I am missing.
