I'm still here.

Life does get in the way of taking photos, moreso in the way of updating blogs. There are more photos that need to be added, and one day I will get back here to add them.

Still using the same Canon 350D, as I decided I couldn't commit enough time to make an upgrade worthwhile. I didn't even end up entering the 2009 Canon Photo5 competition, despite having received the entry kit.

Traffic photos.

This was my first attempt at a traffic photo. I wasn't very impressed with the results, but it gave me a better understanding of what does and doesn't work. I haven't had another opportunity to try this again, so in the meantime decided to play with the editing and put one up anyway.

Watch this space.

More classmates.

This group of happy little kids attend classes with my son.

It's always great to see their smiles break out when each sees their mum at the end of lessons.

This is what I've tried to capture in these photos.

Tiggers like to bounce.

A chilly winter day is a great excuse to play dress-ups. (My daughter H, aged 17 months).

Some flora and fauna.

I also took the 75-300mm lens for a walk, it's been a while since I did any non-people shots.
A token animal photo ... P the sheep.
Getting quite dark by now, this photo was taken with ISO1600. I did test with slower exposures, but didn't have my tripod with me. This was 1/100 sec.

The great outdoors.

A road trip and a long weekend brought about the opportunity to take some outdoor photos.

My daughter H (aged 17 months) had a great time playing outside, and quickly became good friends with M (the dog).

These photos were taken with a (borrowed) Canon 400D with 18-55mm kit lens.



















My son A (aged three) enjoyed practising his walking, but stopped for a rest so that I could take a few photos.
