Well I ran to get this shot, thought I might make it in time for it passing the rock, but no - too many Madeira custard tarts :(

I just recently bought a 9 stop screw in ND filter for my 70-200 zoom, I love it. There's a slight colour cast but I quite like it and getting rid of it is easy anyway. I'm now thinking about making a filter holder for my Tokina 16-28 as this lens doesn't have any thread :(

Teddy Bears, Donkey, Panda, Cows, Lion, Snail, Tiger, Dog Christmas

I won a Christmas Tree and all the decorations from B&Q! The toys are things I've collected on various trips, the big fella on the right is from China (bought a seat for him on the plane, I ate his meal) plenty of funny remarks on the way back "Hey Mate, what was the first prize?" the colourful teddy is from Amsterdam, the snail is from Texas, the teddy on the left from Switzerland, forget the rest. I know I'm too old for this, haha.

Nantgwyllt Chapel, Elan Valley, Rhayader Dams, Wales

This is the church they built to replace the one sunk in the construction of the dams. Totally the wrong time of the day for this shot, was so dark inside. It took ages to take this even with a low fstop and high ISO. I'm amazed how little noise there was, and Lightroom sorted that out with ease.
