I finally found the time and peace of mind to do some photography during our holidays and the time to do some post processing on the pictures. Yes, you have been looking at holiday pics! A lot of credit goes to my better half for her seemingly endless patience. I'm one of those photographers who sometimes take ages for a good shot and to then decide to not take the shot at all, because the light is too far from how I want it. She must have lost count of the occasions that we had to pull over by the side of the road during our trip to take a some shots of landscapes and scenery.

I'm glad that I can say that I'm really pleased with the new camera. And the heavy 100-400 mm L lens is worth carrying around, but does attract lots of attention, which can be a bit unsettling at times. At some point during our holiday I had to reluctantly admit that some of the pain in my back could be related to the heavy load that I have been carrying with around in my single strap bag: a Canon 40D, a 10-22 mm lens, a 24-85 mm lens, a 100-400 mm lens and a tripod. The holidays are over and the pain in the back has gone... and a new lesson learned.

The weather on this island has been absolutely sh*ite on most of the days where I have the time for photography. This means that, save for the occasional sunny day that coincides with leisure time, I see no other way than to keep uploading holiday pics...

I hope that you have had a great summer.
