I have on loan a 10 mm Tamron lens from Rich – he will never know how much I love him for giving me the use of it. Soon I will be shooting a wedding I’m doing as a “favour” for some friends and then I will have to give it back.

I’ll have some serious saving to do if I ever want one of my own.

Between now and then however I’ll be putting it to use as often as I can and whilst getting to grips with how it handles I shot this of my street, sky, pavements, road, houses all of it in shot – oh how I love this 10mm lens!

….and yes my Mom did tell me not to ever play in the road – but she also told me not to talk to strangers and it doesn’t stop me using Twitter now does it!

Dear BBC

Can you please remind your presenters and guests on all of your programmes, but specifically the breakfast and news presenters, that we don’t elect a Prime Minister, we elect the party,and they appoint a leader, who if is still the leader at the time of the election, becomes our PM.

It’s so annoying to hear repeated claims that we (the electorate) have elected a PM!!!

There is enough confusion and apathy without the BBC making it worse by misrepresenting our electoral system.

Of all the news outlets the BBC should be the one leading the way to encourage people to look at and vote for policies, not personalities!

Thank you.

As you may have guessed from previous posts I enjoy photography. I enjoy photography enough that when it came to a choice between new clothes or a new camera lens I chose a new lens – and I’m a GIRL!

I post photos to moblog (albeit a lot less frequently than I did before) and soon there will be my own website (but the story of that deserves a whole post of it’s own) but at the moment I mainly use flickr.

I like flickr because it’s a fantastic learning platform – it forces me to improve my photography as when I compare it to some of the work on show mine pales in comparrison and I love it because of the groups.

Groups are a great, you can share your photos, start discussions and in some cases arrange to meet other people to walk talk and take photos. Groups can be based on anything – a theme, a style, a geographic location.

Recently I’ve taken part in a few flickr projects that I want to blog about but without first talking about Flickr they make no sense at all.
