Christmas goodies and pictures.

[Matt_90]

My parents kindly got me a new telephoto lens for christmas (tamron tele-macro 70-300, f4-5.6) and uv filter.

I then treated myself to a new flashgun and bag over the weekend just awaiting new 8gb CF card and spare battery.

Decided to go out today and have a play as my camera has been gathering dust for a while.

headed over to Virginia water lake to get some pics. C & C welcome

Some where taken with the original lens, I have in my flickr some pics of a rally event I did with the lens. Its fantastic for the money its now also been reduced further in jessops.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/27647462@N08/sets/ i think that link should work, not really got the hang of flickr yet and need to learn how to organise it.

as requested: Millie, Chocolate brown yorkshire terrier, 5 months

How do you find the flash?

 

[Matt_90]

I cant fault the flash had a good play with it yesterday and its also been reduced to 69.99 comes with a diffuser built in and a nice led screen on the back. The flash also rotates 360 degrees. Well worth the pennies. plenty of setting to play with.

Yes, that link works but your photos have no exif on, presume it was lost when you added your sig to them.

Rally pics look good though

By the side of your pic on flickr it shows which camera you used and a link to more info if exif is still attached to the image.

Cheers, I have also just got a minolta 28-80mm lens for it as a walk around lens. worth taking a look at also. Hopefully the weather will cheer up and I can go out and get some more pics.

Cheers for the comments guys

Off topic but thought I would post a lil update, been having a play as I am rather bored of the net and the weather is crap.

Playing around with a bike light is fun as I have no other source lol. My one and only wristband to keep me safe lol
