A snowy path.

Another shot from Mersea Island....

This was taken a while back, probably around 2012, but as with any photographer you tend to take many photographs and not get around to looking at them.

As you progress as a photographer, your post processing techniques change and improve so, its a nice exercise to go back through your old work and see what you can get out of an old photograph.

Anyway I do hope you enjoy looking at this shot.

Taken at West Mersea in Essex. Being on an Island we get the best of both worlds, Sunrises and Sunsets. I have yet to get up earlier enough to do a sunrise shot. But over the winter, getting a great sunset is much easier.

Taken with the combination of the Canon 5DMKII and Canon 24-105mm f/4L lens. It make a beautiful combination too.
I was worried about paying for an L series lens, as they are expensive, but it only took a few minutes to realised that I had made a good choice. I will be using this lens as a walkabout lens, but more importantly I will try this for Landscape shots.
I will let you know how it works out.

Curlew in Flight

There are talks about the Canon 5D MKII not being good to capture action, but so far I have found this to be the case. OK so a flying Curlew is not the fastest thing in the world, but you still have to track it through the air turning on your toes.

I'll let you be the judge of the shot.

Very happy with the performance of the 5D MKII focusing with the Sigma 150-500mm in OS2 mode.

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

New kit.

Well much to my surprise, I was given a Canon 5D Mark II for my birthday present this year. I truly was a complete surprise, and I am overjoyed.
As the weather has been crap, I haven't managed to get any shots with it yet, but as soon as I do I will post them up on here.
