I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
I have to get used to the lens being its actual length - so this was taken with the Canon EF 70-200mm 1:4L. I missed the extra length but have a 75-300mm that I will start using again when visiting the zoo.
You and paris parfait are hitting all the things I love today! Now that the chaos of moving, my husband's emergency surgery, the holidays seems to be abating I plan on focusing on the advice in "The Photographer's Eye" by Michael Freeman (found yesterday by chance)so I can use our Pentax K10D to its best advantage.
So much fun, Tara! Gert got a little bit tired of my 'oh grief, look at this one!' but he's a patient man.
I'm so pleased that we're all hitting on the same things, Barbara. I need to call by your blog again. I got caught up in Gaza but I think the newspapers have the real stuff now. The British papers were publishing all kinds of stuff today.
Wonderful photos, all, Di! You're obviously having fun with the new camera!
