hello again...

hi all,

 

i've been having some family stuff and computer probs but got most of it sorted now and can hopefully get some fishing and picture taking done.

 

the main problem at the moment up here is getting any sort of light, it's complete cloud cover whenever i'm not at work.

 

anyway, to cheer myself up i treated myself to a new toy for my 400D, it's a canon 18-85mm IS USM zoom lens, man what a difference to the kit lens i've been using, it focuses soooo fast and quiet, how did i live without it....

 

i also got a battery grip for it as i have hands like dinner plates and feel i get a much more steady and secure hold of my camera

 

not taken much worth looking at with the lens yet, but i did this macro shot of a zippo lighter i engraved for my good friend ian, it's his company logo on the bottom and obviously his name on the top

 

i've entered it in this months comp as it's all i have at the moment..

Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, and its sound is like razors through flesh.

Nice to see you back HD. :D:D

 

The 18-85 IS is indeed a good lens.

 

Bad weather during the UK "summer" has severely cut back the chances to get out for most of us.

hi wiggley, hope you're feeling better....

 

i got the lens from good old fleabay, got a hoya UV filter and a hoya circular polariser filter and the petal hood for £235.00 plus £8.00 post, bargain methinks....

 

i'm day off tomorrow, i might have a wee walk into the hills at the back of my house is it's nice and see what i can get.
