Just realised that the last 4 posts have been in black and white, how dull!

Here’s a nice colour one of the boy from this morning to make up for it

Camera: Canon EOS 7D

Shutter: 1/100

Aperture: f/3.5

Focal length: 70mm

For some reason the in-laws had a large frame in their summer house and I thought it would make a good photo with Abi and Dad. I did ask them to make silly faces but to no avail. Anyway, added a bit of a vignette and de-saturated in PhotoGene on the iPad.

Camera: Canon EOS 7D

Ap: f/2.8

Exp: 1/800

FL: 24mm

Although not a perfect solution, the camera connection kit for iPad makes editing photos in the field possible. I used PhotoGene (cropped then desaturated) to edit then the WordPress app to write this post.

I took this shot at an event that we hosted on the Electricity Market Reforms; David Lloyd from XMI Capital on the right and Julian Tanner, CEO, AxiCom on the left.

Works out nicely! Expect more soon.

Shutter speed: 1/125

Focal length: 70mm

Aperture: f/4

Yay! I got a new camera and an awesome lens so taking lots of snaps again. Took this one in Manchester Square (an oasis just off Oxford Street) yesterday whilst we were on a family trip to see the wife’s sister, BIL and our god son. Not sure who this chap is but he fell asleep in the sun so I imagine he has a nice tan now. Expect more photos (possibly baby related!) soon.

OK so it’s not actual 3D but it would make a good 3D shot I think.  This is Molly, a Working Springer Spaniel (I think) and her owner, my friend Andy.  Molly is atop a little rampart within the town walls of Saint-Paul de Vence, south of France. She seemed desperate to lick the camera!

On a trip to Belfast our friends Beth and Gill took us for a drive up the East coast and we stopped off at the Giant’s Causeway, a strange spot with Superman-esque hexagonal rocks rising out of the Irish Sea – makes for good photos…hopefully!

Can’t quite believe that I haven’t posted anything since August!?!? Anyway, we’ve been to all sorts places since then so no excuses!

I took this photo whilst down in Widemouth, Cornwall, hoping to get some nice sunset snaps and this chap was in the way – he was pretty handy at it too. It’s a bit blurred because the shutter was quite slow but I still like it….more soon(ish)!
