Ouch! More than a month since I posted last?! Really? Ok, I guess if I'm scrabbling for excuses I'd include more decorating, some weather nice enough to get some work done in the garden, quite a bit of gym and running (I'm doing a 10k assault course in May!) and planning the next bike tour ... which may well be somewhere East! Since we've gone South (Morocco), North (Iceland) and West (USA).
Also been buying a few more pieces of photo kit including some more portable flash equipment & attachments that I can travel with, for the wedding in Cyprus next month.
Oh.. and I spent a bunch of time re-vamping the wedding website to something I think I'm happy with .. although the current photos are only 800px, so don't look ideal in full screen on a large screen!
What else ... I've calibrated my Sigma 105mm lens, that I noticed was mis-focussing while taking the macro shot below of a moth laying eggs on our wall. Having keeled over at the price of an official lens calibration tool, I printed this template: http://www.squit.co.uk/photo/focuschart.html
.. printed, stuck, cut, snapped and custom functioned my lens into perfect harmony with the 5D3.
Note: On the 5D3 > Go to My Menu, register new entry, Custom Function III - 8 AV Micro Adjustment (Yes, there are tons of hidden custom functions). Set it to enabled per lens and adjust using the instructions on the link.
The bottom photo is a nice hazey, birds flying into the Sunset, dreamy kind of affair. Straight from camera with a little croppage, I love the hues and layers in the townscape.
