R-Strap RS-4

Thu - 03 Jun

rstrapHow do you carry your camera? Perhaps you've not thought about it much or perhaps you've just never thought that there was any other choice other than to hang it around your neck or off your shoulder?

It's probably fair to say that most photographers haven't really given much thought to their choice of camera strap but I would think that it is also fair to say that a large percentage of photographers don't like the standard straps that come with all cameras and who can blame them, what's to like about them?

Thu - 15 Apr

London In 3DI have always been interested in history not so much on a global, political, economic way as so often taught in schools, but on a social level i.e. what was it really like to live in certain time, what did the people look like, what did they do for a living, how did they get to their place of work, what did they eat etc?

Through collecting these old photos I have also become very interested in stereo photography.

Gorillas at HowlettsThis weekend we made a trip to Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent primarily as a birthday treat for my wife's niece but I also took my camera gear with me in the hope of getting some new shots of the animals. So I took along my Canon EOS 30D and my Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L USM along with my Canon 2x Teleconverter and a monopod to see what I could get.
