Tree lights (part two)

 

The last of the tree lights/deorations pictures taken yesterday while sorting out my gear for today.

Zooming in.  Tried a few other effects like zooming and twisting, but this was the only one I liked.

All the pictures from yesterday and this one either Canon 5d3 or 5d4 with 24-105 and 50mm lens used.(this one is a 24-105L lens)

Tree lights (part 1)

 

Not been feeling the Christmas spirit this year... today I put the tree up.

 







 

Sorting out camera bag, and my EDC.

 

 Been busy today sorting out my camera bag and every day carry kit.  The camera bag took the longest, not only did I have to charge up batteries, but clear cards and sort out all the bits and bobs that go in it.

Just testing the off camera flash kit took a white, changing the batteries in the recievers and testing all 4 recievers and the 2 transmitters too a fair bit of time.

 As for my EDC that wasnt too bad.  I've moved from bunging it all in my trousers (too much weight) to a nice belt pouch, much easier and probabaly better organised if I'm honest, and I had room for a small telescope thingy, handy for checking thigs in the distance.

 After Christmas I might treat myself to a new pouch, I've got a belt trauma pouch, not used much now, but it's bigger than the pouch I'm using for my edc.  The extra room means maybe a few goodies I cant fit now.

A few jokes.... You've been warned.

 

 I get told off for my jokes.  So heres a few, I'll try and keep them clean, but some might be in bad taste.

 

 My mate tells me his wife is brighter than him.  Then the fire brigade arrived and put her out....

 I know a bloke who is better looking than me, has a new van and a cat called Jess....

 My grandfather always used to say if your in a hole stop digging.  Love;y bloke, terrible coal miner.

 Have you seen my new watch?  My uncle sold it to me from his death bed... He's up there now, pinching the lead off the roof.

Well you get the level of my jokes,   I'll get my coat.

Spot colour

 

 Yes I know "spot colour" shots are about as poopular as ebola, but I do sometimes like them, this one not so much.

I think I needed to compose the image better in the first place.  But time was against me and I'd got a better shot of the berries anyway, although that didnt work as spot colour.  But I wasnt thinking of that when I grabbed the shots in the first place.

 I was just getting "some pictuers"  I havent taken many recently, what with my health and the weathers been a bitch here, and I'm a big pussy about taking a good camera out in the rain.  No chance mate.

Some more pictures

 

 A few random pictures from today.  Not had a great 24 hours if I'm honest, lots of stress and got pretty wet (and it's cold here at the moment)  Anyway managed to get these pics while getting bread for tea .
