It's Fern time.....with the new Canon 6D

Ferns are uncurling everywhere, I love this time of year. Bluebells will be peaking in a week or so. I'm enjoying the new Canon 6D very much and hope to do a review sometime soon. If you're thinking of going full-frame, the 6D is a great way to start. Love the smooth shutter, horizon level and Aspect Ratios (so you can compose in 4:3, 5x4, Square etc). It's so much better than the 5D II. Still waiting for built in flash, higher resolution and swivel screen, but
Canon don't agree with what I want in a camera, which is why Nikon are doing so well with the D800E

Quick trip to Wales

At last I could get out and take some pictures! I just love the Tintern area of Wales, so I went to get some infrared shots of St Marys Church

7th May 2013: - beautiful late sunlight on the west front of the Cathedral this evening, shot with the amazing Canon TS-E 17mm Tilt-Shift lens, which corrects for the bendy 'falling over backwards' look of normal wide lenses

A quick trip to Exmoor; I went to Willett Tower for the first time. It's a ruined church tower folly near Elsworthy. Took one sunny shot, and this moody one  - and I prefer the moody one by far, but the sunny one is more likely to sell

A fine spring day in Bath

6th March 2013: - Warm and sunny; have I woken up in another country? No, it's a rare day in early spring. For years I've seen the crocuses grow here at The Circus, I finally caught a good day when they were out in flower

19th February 2013: - Two hour walk to Watern Tor; it may look nice and sunny but it was freezing cold and windy. On the way back I fell into a bog which came up to my groin! I laughed aloud, shame there was no-one else to see it. Spent the next two hours in soggy trousers. The walk I took was long, around the hills - to miss out the boggy areas. Ahem.
