Canon 40D Digital Field Guide
Relates to Photography
Meanwhile I have slowly been getting to grips with the Canon 40D mainly thanks to the informative Digital Field Guide which has been a most exciting passage of constant discovery. The field guide has elucidated on much of the technique that is briskly skimmed in the camera's manual and has allowed me to develop my handling of the Canon camera much quicker than I had expected.
My focus has been portraiture of my family and friends but occasionally when the light is guide and the time is right I pop on the Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens for a bit of landscape photography.
Sigma 10-20mm - 1/13s @ f/5.6, ISO 100
Sigma 10-20mm - 1/160s @ f/11, ISO 200
Canon 50mm - 1/200s @ f/2, ISO 100
Canon 50mm - 1/100s @ f/7.1, ISO 100

2009: A Belated Happy New Year!
Relates to Blogging
Once again as the festive season approached my blogging was neglected so finally happy new year and time for a quick catch up.
Following a much needed holiday in Spain at the start of November my working hours have been preoccupied building a property management system for the Cornish Gems luxury holiday cottages. This has been a slight diversion from my current crop of work but has been a refreshing change, and, building a new platform from scratch has finally allowed me to work purely in PHP5 and MySQL 5 without any legacy server restraints. Project creep has invariably taken over as baby matters have dominated my partial working week but I hope to post some of the new techniques I have worked with over the coming months - especially as lucid information on some of them seems to be lacking on the web.
The year ahead looks set to be very interesting!
