Really I have no other reason to post this image than the fact I like it.

A quick snap of the lid of a can of Redbull (other energy drinks are available) that was sitting on my desk that I may or may not have just opened

Shot with my 150mm Sigma Macro (which I WILL review very soon) and my trusty Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III.

Hope you like

Cheers!

Well thats what they say anyway!

I just thought I would upload a photo here that I took last week.

I have been thinking about taking this photo for quite a while ( every time I have a pint of Guinness in my hand ) but have never got around to it until now. And I may even do it again as there are a few things I am not entirely happy with.  As per usual please click on the thumbnail to see the larger version.

Many thanks must go to my good friend Alex for being the person entirely in command of pouring the Guinnesses ( he has bar experience ) and also helping me drink them after each attempt. Interestingly enough the more Guinness you drink the better the photos seem to be! How Strange.

Enjoy Alcohol Responsibly

Cheers

Hi all,

On this past Wednesday, Fergle and I both attended the Canon Pro Photo Solutions Exhibition at the Business Design Centre in London.

I will start by saying that this was a decidedly interesting event and one that if you are a Canon user or prospective buyer should really think about attending. Not only do you get to try out all of the latest range of stills bodies, you can also try pretty much any Canon lens that they currently produce, even some of the “megabucks” fast super-telephotos! You can guess what I spent most of the event doing Best of all attendance is free if you register for tickets before hand!
