March Update

Hello everyone!
Sorry for a late post, I have been super busy and am struggling with keeping the blog up to date with everything that’s going on at the moment.
Needless to say work is keeping me very busy and I struggle to do anything when I get home but enough about me ranting on about work.
So where did I leave off from last month, well I still haven’t managed to edit my photos from the Hockey matches or even burn them to CD, will be doing that as we speak for my friend. From the same weekend I used the 70 – 200mm F2.8 from LensPimp to do a portrait shoot for my girlfriend’s best mate and I have just finished the final edits and uploaded them to facebook for all to see. Still got loads of pics to do from last month let alone what I have been up to this month so far!
So Focus on Imaging 2011, what a day, despite the 5am start for a 4 hour coach trip to Birmingham it was really worth it and would recommend it to anyone in the UK that can get there.  It’s a really time to meet other photographers, suppliers and see what’s new on the market, some of the highlights from the trip were meeting the guy that invented the Orbis Ring Flash, James Madelin really nice guy and a really good demo of his Ring Flash that I even brought one!
I spent a lot of money since my last post, even before talking about buying the 70 – 200mm from focus I also brought a Nikon D300s from Ebay, absolutely great deal came with battery grip spare cards, batteries and still has 9 months warranty. The only reason it was for sale was because it was to heavy so I managed to grab myself a bargain.
So I also managed to get myself a Bag, a few memory cards, 50mm 1.8, 70 – 200mm F2.8 VRII, Orbis Ring Flash, Mono Pod.
So I have loads of new kit to play with when I get some free time!
