Over the past week I treated myself to a few bits and pieces. Heading over to warehouseexpress soon for some festive shopping and football in the fine city. Also collecting a print from Steve tomorrow so looking forward to that.

Try taking the lens cap off.

My brother got me a 20mm 2.8, very surprised.

:P I got that far. They arent quite totally black, auto levels in PS brings out a lot of detail. I think it's because the SD card I was using couldn't keep up with burst mode.

My darling hubby got me a Canon EOS 50D. (Have 350) Can't wait to try it outside. Took lots of pics of the christmas tree but want to get outside......

I got a huge book called "Sportscape".
It's about the evolution of Sports Photography.
Got another book about understanding light.

I got a Canon 450d and a book to tell me how to use it!

Canon RC-1 remote, new CF card and some cash towards a new external flash for the Eos. A cousin sent me eBook versions of a few Photography books to look over, great stuff.

All the rest was fine art supplies and such.

Collected the print from Steve which is top notch. Pity the father robbed it from me to stick it on the wall :pac:

Fantastic.

Got my nifty fifty at last, and enjoyed the day taking flashless pictures.

As always tho' you fix one problem and then you have to figure out something else, namely the whole indoor white balance thingy.

Ah, every day I'm learning something new.

Nudey mags Fajitas ? To get 'inspiration' for nude shoots ?

or maybe machine gun magazines *ducks and hides*

Fajitas!

I'd be worried about myself if family were giving me jazz mags tbh :pac:

I got a new Sony A200.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it and how to take a decent picture!

Tempted. What with Sterling edging off the abyss, an order from amazon calls me big time plus I need to order some stuff anyway.

Santa, some time ago, delivered a board bag for my kitegear so was somewhat less benevolent last Thursday morning. I did, however, get a very nice Belleek picture frame which some wave style patterns on it and now need to identify a photograph to go into it.

The rest consisted of books and none of them photography related. I have everything I need at the moment.
