An Update

Following on from my last blog post. I quickly noticed the limitations of my flash setup, although I could do most things I wanted to, a few things were missing, a biggy being the ability to use second curtain flash. This function is often used in more creative flash photography and I wanted it! So, I dipped into my savings, and nipped down to my local Calumet. There I purchased amongst other more mundane things (stands, umbrellas etc) a Canon Speedlite 580EX2 - the daddy of all Canon flash.

What's bugging me now

As far as my photography goes, I have a new camera, lots of decent kit, I have loads and loads of ideas for shots, but no time to realise them.

Everyday, I travel from Oldham to Dewsbury and back again over the Penines in my trusty Landrover. Every day, without fail I see some magnificent views, amazing sunrises and sunsets, atmospheric and moody panoramas and interesting technical shots present themselves to me. Unfortunately I'm against the clock in the morning, trying to get to work on time… Continue
