As for the new camera, i took delivery just before Christmas of my Canon 5D mkII, it was a shock, i wasn't expecting it until February as the place i'd got it from has a massive pre-order list, but it arrived with a new bag, lens (Canon EF 17-40mm F/4L USM) and a 8gb card, i've had a little play around with it, its an impressive bit of kit, shame the weather is so dull here at the moment, i wandered down the beach this morning for sunrise but didn't even get it out the bag, it was overcast, dull and the tide was miles out, never mind, i'll get to use it soon.

With 2009 already here, im already starting to make lists of locations i'd like to shoot in this year, Northumberland is full of stunning places, i think im going to keep on shooting seascapes as thats what i enjoy the most but i'd like to try and shoot some more commercial type shots, i may even build a proper website for myself

Well thats it, i just wanted to let people know im still about, i hope everyone had good christmas and new year!
