Long Time No See

It has been a while (where have the past few months gone!) since I have posted anything. Been using the camera a little more lately so here are a few recent shots from the Ellingham Show at the start of August.

As usual, click on the images to enlarge

First Pictures

Took the new Canon 450D up to Salisbury Races on Friday afternoon for a little test run and to try and capture a bit of the action on the course.

I hadn't had much of a chance to play with the camera as it only arrived at work that morning so was pretty much just using it on the Auto modes (Full Auto, Sport etc). I'm pretty used to Canon manual settings after using the Powershot S2 for so long but the interface and buttons are all slightly different so didn't change much on the day but am now finding them all!

Here are a few of the better shots from the day. Shame that it was so overcast but that's the English weather for you!

A Day at The Races

After some serious digging on my first week off work last week saw some less strenuous activities including a day out at the races with friends.

Luckily my system seemed to work well as I picked 3 winners and 1 second place out of the 6 races. When I say "system" what I mean is that I liked the horses name or where they came from. Lets just say I was lucky!

Here's the end of the first race of the day and the first winner for yours truly.


Here are the winnings for the day....just check out those 50's!!!
