I am going on a short shut down till after Christmas… Tomorrow, or today, depending on where you live, son and I are off to fit the last shop and then I’m going shooting… NO not with a gun, but with my new camera…
I want to wish you all The best Christmas ever, have a great day and go on, over eat and enjoy… it only happens once a year…
and I’m going to leave you with a few sample photos from the new camera… wow… what a camera…
Here’s looking at you …. having a good time… (Still learning about the white balance settings…)
But this one turned out great… never been able to get as close as this zoom does…
and here’s a family being fed…
and just so you know how close I was… here’s a non zoom shot of the bird…
Have a great week up to and including Christmas… and all drink a toast to Linda on Boxing Day… it’s her birthday… damn mustn’t forget a present for her… (I normally forget)….
I hope you enjoyed Christmas, Rob! 😀
That’s some camera lens! 🙂 I hope Linda had a lovely birthday. We have a few friends with birthdays on “Boxing Day”–although we don’t celebrate that here. I need to remember next year to send them a card for that occasion–so much better than just referring to the day after Christmas. 🙂
You don’t celebrate boxing day? Is it just a normal day then and not a holiday? Yes Linda had a good day… pampered by me all day…
Hoop jy skiet lekker met die nuwe kamera. Nuwe fotos lyk al klaar uitstekend. Sien uit na die res …
I really enjoyed your posts over this past year and look forward to sharing your thoughts in 2015. Have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the New Year…May each day bring you special moments.
Merry Christmas, Rob!
