A Year in Review and My Top Ten Images from 2009
In 2008 I made the move from my entry level Canon 400D to a 40D and later that year I invested in some LEE filters, according to my post last year that was a big change 🙂 It’s always interesting to read back things you wrote a year ago. This year I swapped the 40D…
Lencarta Studio Kit Arrives
Well true to his word Garry got the kit posted off sharpish and it arrived into me yesterday morning. As luck would have it they sold out of the 140x70cm Softbox but they should have them in before Christmas and Garry promised to get it sent over as soon as it arrives. Anyway I think…

Sigma 17-70mm Lens Trials Continue
Managed to get out again with the new lens, this time for a beautiful sunset, not that I did it justice. First real use of my new Giottos MT 92 Tripod too. First time trying to photograph sunsets, so fairly happy with these early results. Pop over to the Gallery to check them out for…
