Well the camera and flash go back tomorrow. Its been lovely having the kit for so long - can really give it a try - not everything that I would want to do with it, but not bad - had some nice sunny days this year ( :2funny: ), though the cold has curtailed my cycling efforts so far :(

Got a few nice shots though:

I've taken advantage of this again over Christmas - I've hired a Canon R1 and a EL-5 flash. It should have arrived on 19th December, but arrived on 16th - and goes back on 5th January.

The flash gun is insane - the recycle time is incredible as is battery life - and the camera. Well, I really hoped it wouldn't be much of an upgrade to the R3. And in many ways its not.

But it is in the important areas - the AF is just awesome - and now has pre-capture which although the pictures I have got with it have not been perfect (ISO51200 tends to be a bit noisy), but shows what it can do with some decent light.



I've also got a nice shot of the moon the other night too.

I always like images where the photographer has the courage to print a good Black. The bottom second one reminds me of Edward Weston's peppers.

Hopefully these don't overstep the mark!

Had a photoshoot on Saturday - first modelling one since February. Lack of time and mojo for it really.
