Bundoran

Yesterday turned out to be quite a nice day, so Stephen and I went on a jaunt to test his new 40D. He's delighted with it, seems to be a savage beast of a camera. Here's one of mine.

Equipment and settings used

• Canon 400D
• Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC
• 1/800th second, f/5.0, ISO 100, 59mm
  

Three gorgeous models

Emmett, Eoghan and Aoibhín modelling. Aoibhín does not look happy to be there. Photo was shot in raw, then tweaked in Lightroom.

Equipment and settings used

• Canon 400D
• Canon EF28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM
• Speedlight 420EX (bounced off ceiling)
• Soligor 30DA (off silver umbrella)
• 1/100th second, f8.0, ISO 100, 60mm
  

Gazing at his family tree

Fun with bokeh! The effect is achieved following the instructions shown here. Great fun.. I do like froggies.. The reason the shape is so good is because I have a froggie shaped hole puncher, not because I have the patience of a saint.

Equipment & settings used:

• Canon 400D
• Sigma 30mm f/1.4
  
• Speedlite 420ex (bounced off ceiling)
• 1/15th second @ f/1.4, ISO 100, 30mm
