New camera...ok, well at least I'M excited!

The man in the Brown uniform just delivered my new baby. Hmmm, that sounds weird...anyway, it's my new Canon EOS 5D digital SLR! I know, I know..."boys and their toys"...but this thing is going to allow me to do things I never could have done before, and that's hopefully going to show in my images for 2006.

For those interested, it has a full-frame 12.8MP sensor which - among many things - will deliver beautiful blurred backgrounds, incredible wide-angle ability, and amazing resolution...just in time to be used in those huge 12"x18" panoramic page spreads in the new Fine Art Book albums!

Another great advantage is it's incredible low-light performance which means I'll be able work a lot more with available light rather that having to resort to flash...and if I can do without that huge flash bracket more often I'll be a happy camper (those of you who've seen me in action, know the thing I'm talking about).

So expect to see even greater images to come for the 2006 season with this new addition to my photographic kit!
