EDIT.. ??? No worries., real ALE and I wd get my bus pass up there in a shot, something to keep up my sleeve., many thanks! )) Lilly

That is a nice shot David with great subject matter, I love the colour co-ordination betwixt eyes and titfer. But, I think it wd have been even more perfect if her eyes were as sharp as the titfer, I think you cd lose some of the top space too, crop that top empty space down so your eye doesnt wander out and up? I wd crop into the hat.
I wd so love to go to this event but it is so far away from here and my travel pennies are all spent!

OMG !

Well, I took seven lenses in all:


50mm 1.4 FA
135mm 2.8 FA
80-320mm FA
18-55 DA
30mm F1.4 Sigma
10-20mm Sigma
LENSBABY 'Composer'

I used the most: 30mm; 50mm; 135mm; Lensbaby Composer

I hardly touched the zooms, mainly because I have come to the conclusion the image quality is just not there as with my primes.

If I could have afforded a 20mm prime to take with me I would have been very happy, maybe next year!

I did get rather frustrated when in the wildlife sanctuary of Little Rann of Kutch not having a fast longer focal length lens to photograph the flamingoes, cranes, pelicans etc. but then I am not usually into wildlife. A perfect solution would be to hire one.
I did manage to get a couple of shots with the 80-320, but I have come to realise wildlife photography is another skill that doesn't come easily to me.

All in all I found my primes to be perfect for the job and I feel my most happiest and confident when working with them.

I took my AF360FGZ and never used it once !

Hi guys n gals, I am back safe n sound and now a week later just over the jetlag!

It as been four months since I set off to India, New Zealand and South Pacific. It was new and exciting having a DSLR with me this time instead of 35mm and traveling with a net-book plus peripherals and all went smoothly.

Anyway, missed you all but back again with 80GB,s of images!

I thought this link from my blog might be of help to some thinking of traveling in the future, any questions please feel free to PM me.

Have I missed anything exciting in my absence?
