Three more of my favourite shots from the US tour and yet more photographs that I deemed more suited to the black and white persuasion. Not for any weird colour reasons or to make up for a lack in other areas, but just because they all have great light, shadow, texture and details.
More evidence that when travel shooting you just need to wander too.. who would have thought that off all the tourist traps, scenic viewpoints and wonders of the world that we saw, that my favourite photo so far is of an old chair!
Any way .. quick word of apology on my lack of posting, official excuse is we are totally renovating the whole house, all in one go, while living in a very badly insulated conservatory - which tends to focus attention on getting decorated and back into the warmth of civilised living.
There is hope however! I may well have accidentally spent some of our home improvement money on a sexy new Canon 5D mark III DSLR!!!!! Happy Christmas to me! I now have officially absolutely no excuse not to produce great quality images (that I get to shrink down to about 1MP to post on blogger!?), but hey it's pretty much my dream camera and now I own it - visions of He-Man style holding camera aloft while shouting "I have the power"! Now all I need is a green Tiger and my life goals are complete. ;o)

| Cabin chair and stove ISO800, 16mm, f/8, 1/5s, -1ev, levels, curves, dodge, burn Love this shot, very happy. Took loads of frames handheld, just to make sure I had one sharp. |

| VW Auto Repair Shack ISO100, 18mm, f/10, 1/60s, -1ev, levels, curves, dodge, burn Always up for taking these kind of images, lots of interest and detail with a nice mystery - what sights did the VW see before it found its end in the middle of no-where. |
