Title: 300 Days
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: Totally miserable weather today, good job I spent most of it at the online <head> conference. But it is Day 300, so I thought I ought to take something which fitted the milestone.
Title: Trigger Happy Birthday
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 300D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: I realised earlier that my EOS 30D is 366 days old today. I’ve really enjoyed using it over the past 12 months. And as I was exploring black today, I decided one of my subjects should be the EOS itself. This meant getting out my old 300D, which has been sitting in the cupboard as a spare (I did dig it out for a week or so when I was having the 30D’s sensor cleaned last year). I was amazed at how different the 300D now feels, since I haven’t used it in agner for so long. I had trouble remembering where some of the controls were!
Title: Keep It With Kodak
Location: Antique Centre, Battlesbridge
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF-S f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: Cloudy when I woke up, but by the time I’d dressed and had breakfast, the sun was breaking through. So I decided to take myself off to Battlesbridge for a look around. It’s a renowed centre for arts, crafts and antiques, as well has having pleasant scenery along the River Crouch. I took plenty of “chocolate box” type pictures, but also had fun around the antiques centre photographing rusty garden ornaments, old traction engines and the like. There were a couple of interesting items inside too, but I thought this picture of an old Kodak Medium Format folding Bellows Camera best embodied the spirit of 366.
