  • flickr

    I have been using flickr fairly extensively in the last few weeks - being a relative newcomer to the service - and I’ve become somewhat hooked. It’s fantastic.

  • canon 5d markII

    I have owned a Canon EOS 5D for the last year or so. It was a replacement for my Canon 350D which I’d owned since 2005 until it was stolen, along with a 17-40mm f4.0L IS and a 70-200mm f4.0L IS. And a three week-old 40″ Bravia. I had been looking for an excuse to [...]

    Ignoring for a moment the fact that the first three were actually taken in Japan - we stopped off in Tokyo on the way over. The trip encompassed Japan, Denmark, and three weeks driving through England, Wales, and Scotland.
