This shot was taken with the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. It is such an ideal lens to take this kind of shot with.

Simple boat

Sometimes it only takes a few things to make a pleasing photograph. Sky, Sea and a boat, it doesn't need anything else.

My photos in the local paper

I have been completely neglecting my blog recently, you know how it goes, you have so much stuff to do thinking about other things.

Well some good news to start off with. 6 of my images have been published in the Mersea Island Courier. The Editor Peter, gave me a task of spring. I enjoyed the assignment and am looking forward to the next one.
The next assignment is going to be Buildings/Architect of Mersea and surrounding villages.
Look out for my next publication!!

Tree Blossom

It is so nice to see nature awakening from Winter. I think perhaps Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons of the year.

Pheasant

We went to Fingringhoe Wick on Tuesday. The sun was shining and it was warm out of the wind. As we came out of the visitor centre this lovely Pheasant was walking very close to the door. Managed to grab a couple of shots before he decided to get camera shy.

Street Photography

We were in London for a few days, and I thought I would do some street photography. Trafalgar Sq. seemed a good place, as it's full of tourists. Normally people photography is something I don't do, but I really enjoyed taking these shots. Hope you enjoy them.

Night time photography

Last week we went to London for a few nights. We thought that we wanted to be tourists in our own capital city, as we have been to many others around the world.
Want a brilliant time we had, although the weather was a bit rubbish, raining mostly. One of the things I wanted to try the most was some night photography. Here are a few of the shots that I have got. I hope you enjoy them.

Just released my own website.....



Well this is the front page to my new website, not sure how much traffic it will get, but I thought "Hey, why not give it a go".
I used Photium.co.uk to host the website, and it was so easy to use their templates to create a professional looking site, without having to learn complicated HTML code.

Please take a look at my new website. http://www.mhdigital.co.uk

Colourful boats.


Colourful boats., originally uploaded by Markonmersea.

Really good to get out with the Camera today. Started a walk around 3ish, looked like it was going to rain. Had a little snow, but that soon stopped. Eventually the weather improved, and ended up seeing the sun and blue sky!!

Love all the colours on these boats and nets.
The combination of the Canon 5D MKII and the 24-105mm lens still amaze me, and I am soooooooo enjoying using them together.
Hopefully in the next few weeks, we will be going to London, watch this space.

Beach Huts


Beach Huts, originally uploaded by Markonmersea.

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


Curlew in Flight, originally uploaded by Markonmersea.

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.
