Just thought I would introduce you to Barrie Downie who has just opened a new portrait studio in the Chichester area.
I met Barrie whilst undertaking some work for him recently and now his studio is open and fully functioning please feel free to visit him and Bev.
Canon have announced a new EOS 7D, it looks like a stop gap between the 50D and 5D MKII. It’s getting to the point where it’s becoming silly with new models coming out all the time, technology moving on a such a stupid rate of knots!
It won’t belong now before the new EOS 1D & 1Ds MKIV will be out and then the 60D, 5D MKII!
Looks like Canon have chucked in a few improvement goodies that ww might start to see apprearing on the higher end models. Recently Canon have been asking for feedback on the 5D MKII and some of the pointers I made were better focusing, better metering, bracketing for HDR so more than 3 exposures can be taken, remove the Movie mode.
The new EOS 7D can be viewed here.
Enjoy it!
Canon have announced a new Powershot G11 to replace the G10 that has only been out for a year! The new Powershot G11 can be viewed here.
Doing my usual walk around the Internet today I have discovered after some semi hard work and several emails to Lowepro they have now brought out a new range of backs that actually work in the photographers favour.
First of all the new Toploader series caught my eye, they have listen to photographers and changed the way the lid opens, instead of opening out from the body or towards the body (something of a huge inconvenience) The bag comes in 3 sizes and would suit anyone wishing to scale down their operation out in the field.
(this makes a break i.e. a line space!)
You can view the Toploader Pro 65 here
You can view the Toploader Pro 70 here

The second range that caught my eye was the NEW outback range, a bit like the Toploader series but they come with additional pouches for lens, slightly more expensive but if you don’t have sliplock cases then this is ideal. You can view the Outback Series here
As soon as I can get my hands on one to conduct a full report I shall let you know.
Yep it’s that time of year again “time to dust of the windmill” actually it has gone past the perfect time of year to shoot Halnaker Windmill with the sunsetting on the front of it.

Enjoy.
I managed to make a trip to the Durdle Door in Dorset to scope the area and take some test shots (not the time of year to be photographing the site due to the sun rise / set positions (as I found out!)

Enjoy.
Well it’s been a very long time since I posted anything, well in fact I think you will find it was Christmas / New Year.
Well for those who know and for those who don’t I have now replacement my camera and some lenses and I have been busy trying out how far I can push this new machine (very far I must say, having tried a 6min expsoure at night and with NO NOISE!)
Any way I have managed to get out and about. On Sunday I made it down to Bournemouth Pier (A place I have wanted to get to in a long time) the weather was nice but the Pier was very busy but after waiting nearly 3 hours I managed to get the dusk shot I wanted.

Enjoy, comments and feedback always welcome.
P.S. Yes the canopy is wonking, not me as I spent ages setting up and the horizon is dead plumb!)
When I knew I was going to Egypt for Christmas on a family holiday all I could think about is seeing the Pyramids and finally a dream has come true.
The day started early with the now familiar breakfast box and a coach trip to the lovely Taba International Airport. I managed to sneak 2 litres of water passed security. The flight to Cairo is only 50 mins in a twin prop Dash 7 Plane, perhaps one of the most smoothest take off and landings I have ever experienced.
We were met at Cairo International Airport by our tour guide and rushed on to our coach for the day.
First stop of the day was at the "Mosque of Muhammad Ali"

This is Part 2 of a 3 part series about my recent trip to Egypt.
Before I talk about my trip over the Israel boarder I want to highlight a few things about visa’s to the area. Also note that under the different sections are images relating to that part.
