We had a great time, loads of hiking done and photo's taken. The flight back was entertaining. I don't want to spend 7 hours on a 767 again, especially one that's old enough to still have CRT's suspended down the aisles.
Two cups of tea and a bacon sandwich later I feel alomost settled back in. Now to get the 1100+ photos off the laptop, onto my PC and trawl through them to sort out the passable ones
I'm off on my Holidays on Tuesday We're going to do some hiking in Maine and then over to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The camera is going as well so I'll be sure to bore you all to tears with the holiday snaps when I get back
Have fun while I'm away and behave
*provided that you live near a town that I'm going to.
Woohoo and all that... I've been lucky enough to aquire (courtesy of my lovely wife who absolutely insisted on buying me a present) an EOS 5D MkII. It's here now in my trembling and everso slightly sweaty hands.
It's disappointingly similar in appearance to my 40D - I'd built it up in my head somewhat so I think I was expecting a camera the size of a small house that gave me hug when I unboxed it and then went off and took pictures for me I rattled off a couple of test shots in my loft here - the clarity and details are incredible.
Hopefully I'll get out this weekend to use it properly but I have Tendonitus in my left foot at the moment and am off work resting it, so it might just be a trip around my garden. The anti-inflamatory tablets my Doc prescribed give me wind and weird dreams, not a winning combination for a good nights sleep. You probably didn't need to know that, sorry.
So - expect more of the same old crap from me but in higher definition
