Website and Email Back
Apologies to anyone who has had a problem with my website or sending me email over the last few days. I had a rogue backup process which was carefully filling the disk with old backups! Thanks to Webfusion Support for … Continue reading
Image Stabilisation – Know Your Limits?
I’ve blogged previously on the other merits of Canon’s wonderful EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, but not really its image stabilisation characteristics. This shot from Cuba shows how good the lens is in that respect. The above is an … Continue reading
Low Cost Geotagging Using Bibble

I’m in the process of restructuring my book reviews, integrating them better with my blog. Please bear with me if posts or old reviews appear to move or are replaced as I complete this process. Update 13th May: the restructuring … Continue reading
