7 Months on!

Yep, its been a while since I updated my Blog!

The last 7 months have flown past with very little photography being achieved. Well, I guess that’s all down to Motorcycles and FeisolUK.

Soon after the tour of Scotland, I had to service the KTM990 and then followed a few off road days. After much deliberation I decided to get a more off road (lighter) orientated bike and spent a few months sourcing a KTM 525 exc.  The next stage was to completely strip and rebuild it, in favour of making it a little more road orientated. So having spent the best part of 2 months in the garage, I finally had the ultimate hack!

Moving on, in November I tested the new Fujifilm X10 and orbs aside, I liked it enough to buy one. This replaces my trusty Ricoh GRDs as the (almost) perfect travel camera.

In early December I stocked up for the Xmas onslaught at FeisolUK and in doing so, I started the revamp of the web site which will hopefully launch in Q2 2012.

Over the Xmas period I got hold of a Phototrap, some radio triggers and a couple of Nissan flashguns. Having now got a bird feeder station set up in the garden, it’s only a matter of free time before I can put this to good use, since my next stop will be Florida 2012.

Yet again, a group (this time 10 of us) organised by yours truly will be flying out to Sanibel on the 3rd Feb for an immersive 10 days of bird photography!

Touring Scotland Ride Report Added

Having been a motorcyclist (on and off) for 30 years, I always wanted to tour Scotland. Since I had the opportunity this month to spend two weeks riding 2100 miles around the Scottish coast, I thought why not write a short ride report on Touring Scotland.

Gallery offline!

I moved servers yesterday (from the US to Europe) and things have gone a bit awry with my Gallery2 database. Maybe its time to have a bit of spring clean anyway. Although, my priority is to get the business website up and running first and then look at a re-vamp later!
