Is there anybody there?

Hello, are you there? It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged, too long in fact. Quite a lot has happened since I last looked at this with the main event being the sale of my cameras. I now feel like I’ve lost a limb and am really missing being out there in the field.

My plan was to save for a Canon 1D MK1V but that’s still to happen. I’ve also moved home which was a bit unexpected. I’m away from the things I hold dear such as Chanonry Point and the forests around Rosemarkie. It’s not the end of the world though as my new home is close to new opportunities and a trail of marten poop which seems endless.

I plan to buy a new camera soon but what that will be remains a mystery. As stated above, I’d love a 1D but I think it’ll be a 7D for now. I also hope to start camera trapping again soon, which means I’ll need another camera at the lower end of the SLR scale which I will feel slightly better about leaving in the forest for days on end.

I’m still involved in photography at Dingwall and Cromarty camera clubs and have done well in a few competitions with my nature shots. Hopefully 2012 will be a good year once I’m organised.

Eilean Dubh continues to do well with sales well over 1300 now. If you don’t have a copy then maybe now’s the time to change that?

This squirrel on a mossy tree root was the last photograph I took before the cameras were sold, I hope to have new images soon.

Happy Days
