Went out for a nice long wander today, the light was great, so, there were lots of photo’s taken, and, as I get more and more used to the camera, there’s more and more keepers coming about. This isn’t quite my favourite, but, i like it a lot all the same. I tried to take [...]

I want to mention the website of a friend of mine who is also taking lots of good pictures of the local area here. Peter Mc Cabe’s site is PhotoImagery.net and is well worth a look, his work is giving me lots of ideas for how to take some local attractions, especially the wee cottage [...]
Whilst I am waiting to be able to justify and afford a nice Canon flash, I have to work with an old, Fotomatic 700TFZ dual head flash which we have lying around the house. Of course, given it’s age, it’s not got a great feature set to go with it, yet, it does appear to [...]
Guess who forgot completely about turning up in the Market Bar yesterday evening for the meetup?! I was in town at the rugby and then headed straight home afterwards, without even thinking about heading into the Market Bar! Ach well, such are the joys, hope a good night was had by all!
I headed out last night to take some pictures of the elusive Comet Machholz and came back disappointed. A) I couldn’t find her, and B) all the other outdoor shots I took failed miserably, as my tripod is in need of replacement, and the slightest breath of wind caused intolerable camera shake.

Okies, yet again, I’ve been crazy busy of late, and been neglecting the blog slightly as a result. If I’m not working, I’m talking about it, and if I’m not doing that I’m busy playing with my new camera, which still continues to amaze me. I spent about 2 hours last night going “no way, [...]
Okies, so much to learn, so little time, but anyways, here’s the first pic that I took with my new 20D last night straight out of the box with all the automatic settings enabled, followed by pictures of the mess I made whilst unpacking it all….ooooh the excitement of it!
Yes, at long long last it’s here….although, not quite! My camera has arrive, but I have yet to get my hands on it, as I am still in the office! I shall be off to collect it soon however, and hope to write more about it here laters!!
I’ve been following the progress of Angela Johnson on her quest to take a Photo a Day throughout 2004. She suceeded in doing so, and has now created a final montage, which is really neat, and a really good idea. Unfortunately, it’s going to have to be a full year before I can attempt such [...]
