Lakeside Round 2

Went over to the lake agian last night, gave H the camera, she did pretty well considering she's never really taken photos before. We got a bit delayed so got there about an hour before sunset and managed to catch it just as it was setting.


I'm sure she was getting bored of it, but I was explaining crop sensors, lenses (wide/telephoto) and a little about composition.

Anyway, take a look at my Flickr gallery for the days shots.

Lakeside photos

Went out to the lake on Sunday morning for a walk and managed to get a few shots of s0me ducks in flight; more of these in ny Flickr album.

It's so difficult getting the lens to focus on the someinthg moving so quickly. Maybe it would be easier getting some L glass; Canon's top of range L series of lenses with faster focussing and superior image quality. Thing is they're not cheap (at least a couple of grand) so generaly they're reserved for people who are serious about their photography or people who want to make a proper living out of it.

That's not saying that you can't make a living out of photography without an L series lens or lens of equal quality, it's just that they're built with better optics, mechanics and are usually more durable; ready for photographers shooting in extreme and demanding environments.

Why do I always have to pick expensive hobbies???
