Wind up racing space hoppers on my desk in work. They were a Christmas present.
Taking this with my iPhone. I’d like to post more photos from my phone but I don’t know if the camera is up to it.
Update – After some files got accidentally deleted on my blog I tried to restore old photos but the one of the space hoppers has hopped off into the great photo box in the sky and cannot be found. Here’s the closest I could find to some space hoppers, pumpkins 🙂
One of my work mates just received the new Canon 5D Mark II with a nice Canon EF 28-70 2.8 L lens. A little boxier than my poor old 40D and with that lens it is much heavier, but both camera and lens make a nice pair and take beautiful looking test photos. Focus was fast and accurate and exposure seemed good as well.
I think I would get a battery grip, my little finger seemed to slip off the bottom, which is odd because the 5D Mark II is franctionally larger than the 40D which fits my hand fine. It must be something different in the hand grip shape. With a camera and lens that expensive I’d want them welded to my hand.
All minor first impression complaints aside, I’m jealous. It’s a lovely piece of kit that will no doubt produce high quality images. Still, no new camera or lenses for me for a while, I need a decent computer for photo processing first. Maybe a 5D Mark III in years to come is the best I can hope for.
I haven’t done much blogging or picture posting here. In fact over the last few months I haven’t posted much to any of the blogs I’m involved in or to flickr. I have to change that.
Hopefully in the next month or so I’ll get my photo library sorted onto a new machine, one that can run photoshop and display photos properly. Once that is done I’ll put up a new website and start posting properly.
For starters this post is coming from my iPhone which had become my main Internet terminal 🙂
