I’ve been wanting to for a while but recently was in the position to add a 5D Mark II to my camera line up and tonight was the first time I went shooting with it and one of the few times lately that I’ve been photographing for myself.

My Sister in Law is a bit of a party organiser, she manages to put some really nice touches to anything she looks after so I knew that whatever she had planned for Halloween this year would be a bit special, fortunately I wasn’t disappointed!

Here are some photos of her front garden. All taken at 6400 iso with a 24-70 at f2.8

I’m editing the video and will upload that shortly.

Cassandra and I decided to make a weekend out of my trip down to Devon to help Gill Taylor cover a wedding in Pyeworthy, Devon.

We were staying in the Falcon Hotel in Bude, on the Sunday we took a walk around the town and down to the beach. Unfortunately the gorgeous weather didn’t take long to break, you can always count on the British Summer!

After a walk in the pouring rain back to the car we headed towards home via whatever was on the route. We paid a visit to Dartington Crystal to do a factory tour, which typically didn’t run on weekends! We did however get to see a lead crystal hand cast being made.

Here are some photos that I took during our little wander.
