Walk Trail Walk Trail 

Anyone actually knows that I am too bored in Perth till I start walking around the bush. National Park walk trails are the usual place I would go to kill my time and practise my photographing skills.

Anyway, here is a link I found to search for the trails in Perth.

Create users home folder using VBScript 

This is one of the very first script I wrote years ago. I am just going to post it here for my future reference. This is an alternative solution to clean up the user folder by using the script posted here .
Instead of traverse the subfolders recursively and delete the objects one by one, why not delete them all at once and create just the user folders.

-----------------------------Start------------------------------
On Error Resume next

Dim colFolders
colFolders = "username1," & _
"username2," & _
"username3," & _
"usernmae4," & _
"username5," & _
"username6," & _
"username7"


Dim path
Dim path_prefix
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim WshShell, objExec
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

path_prefix = "\\fileserver\Userhome\"

objFolder = Split(colFolders, ",")
For Each Folder in objFolder

path = path_prefix & Folder

' Create the user folder
objFSO.CreateFolder(path)

' Set appropriate permission
Set objExec = WshShell.Exec("cacls " & path &" /e /g " & Folder & ":f")

' Wait for the process to finish before continue
Do While objExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

Next

Testing Nikkor 24-120mm 3.5-5.6 D lens 

WAhhh.. Under an unexpected situation, I have had the opportunity to test a second hand Nikkor 24-120mm D lens. I took the lens out for a drive around Mill Point and Kings Park this evening. (It is summer coming so it was still quite bright around 6pm here).

Back to the lens, I have read much about it (See here , here and here ). From the review it looks quite ok. It was replaced by the VR version but the qictures are supposed to be good.

First impression, it is a heavy lens. The last lens I used with my D50 that was that heavy was a Tamron 28-200mm LD IF. Having said that, this Nikkor lens felt very quality built.

The pictures took was quite ok sharp through out the range. The focusing was very fast compared to my old Tamron lens. There were only 2 issues with this lens, 1. The metering system didn't seem to work with my D50 (it’s over exposed by 3 to 6 stops). 2. This lens, second hand one, was having trouble auto focus above 70mm (hunting all the way to 120mm). Thus I believe there was some mechanical problem with the lens. However, manual focus worked fine for me, sharp images were taken by manual focus.

Anyway, time for some pictures.. click here for some selected shots.
