1. Looking at 2012

Looking back over 2012 is looking back at my year with a Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera. It is a Canon EOS 1000D which came as a real January Sales bargain from Makro, Sheffield at the very end of the 2011. It came complete with 2 zoom lenses, 18-55mm and 75-300mm which have helped with taking some beautiful images throughout the year. The transition from my well used and slightly battered Kodak bridge camera was harder than I had expected but the rewards have been more than worth the effort. My hope is to use this blog to share some of the experiences I have had with this new toy.


This very sorry specimen was the very first picture I took with the new camera. It is a single remnant of a Basil pot I bought during December 2011 and I was determined to try to keep it going and alive for as long as I could. Never having been successful in this before I didn't expect it to survive for long this time. As of the date of writing this 12 months later it is still going strong, still a single 'stem' though.


Just to show it was during Christmas this shows the mantlepiece with some of the family cards.


And a selection of welcome gifts.
