Photography, random posts and very little about kebabs.
Finished a little earlier today (as I started earlier) so I had the opportunity to test the new body. The usual testing ground, Birmingham Airport was the venue.
Overall, happy. It does what my other 5D does only the dials and buttons are not as worn (not that the older 5d is knackered, just the new one has a stiffness to the buttons).
So, as I was in-between jobs thought I’d go for Photography day part II.
This days chosen location, Wast Water and the surrounding area (Lake District). Not the easiest lake to get to as it’s not near the touristy lakes. Didn’t really plan anything other than drive to the lake, get out the map t
hen decide where to go. Nice uneventful journey from Brum, about 4.5 Hours in total. Slight disappointment when I got to the car park at Wast Water to find a ticket machine, which wanted £3.70 of my finest pounds to park for about 3 hours. Luck was on my side however as the machine didn’t except any coins (Parking is free for National Trust members).
As I’m still waiting to start my new job, thought I’d go to the seaside. Weston Super Mare to be precise.
So the usual accident on the M5 prevented us from getting there early, but eventually we got in around 12:00. Parked up, went for a piss, then had lunch.
Saw an incident today(10-01-2007). Ran (well slight jog) to what I had seen. It was an old building near Aston Science Park (Birmingham – for all my none brummie readers). Local press tog was there already. Fired off a few shots (as well all the other camera phones and digital compacts). Had a brief chat to the tog, seems that the Evening mail rarely pay for any images from freelancers. Still sent it anyway!
Right, stage one of the new equipment is complete. It was the cheapest bit.
Calumet won this one at £201.50.
