Ok so first of all I’d like to apologise for my absence of
late; I’ve just been crazy busy with just about everything! I’m pretty sure I
promised a post about my Farne Islands visit about two years ago but I will get
there eventually (even though nobody cares now…including me)
Anyway, I’m away from home at the moment (I’m currently sat
writing this in a small cottage about a stone’s throw from the England/
Scotland Border.) I’m staring out of my bedroom window at a wonderful,
beautiful, wet, stunningly secluded, miserable, relaxing, depressing view of
our private garden and wishing either the weather would improve, or the world
would just go ahead and end as it’s been promising to do for weeks!
I’m determined not to let the rain and wind (and lighting
and flooding and mudslides!) stop my picture-taking however; I think it’ll be
good practise to shoot in less-than-ideal conditions…damn my optimistic nature J I did manage to grab
some nice (warm) shots the other evening when there was a dusk to speak of, so
at least I got them in the bag early on (see below.)
I’m certainly not travelling light though; the relative closeness to home provided too many gear temptations and I can’t think of anything I’ve left behind! I’ve got both EOS digital bodies with me (my 450D and 7D) as well as my 10-20, 17-85, 70-200, 50 and 35-70mm lenses, plus a flash, radio triggers etc. and I’m hauling it all around in my Lowepro Vertex 200AW. I’m hoping to go back to the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens before we head home and we’re here ‘till Saturday so hopefully I’ll come back with some “Keepers.”
I’ll keep you all posted when possible…J
