New layout
Posted on February 22, 2009, by Darren, under Personal.
I have a new layout on the site – hopefully this will give me a jolt to do more updates, but I’m working on a few projects at the moment so its not easy.
We will see

Are you bored?

So, you’re at home bored. What are you going to do to pass the time?
I suggest visiting Geoffrey Cottenceau’s photo site for a few more ideas. Seen right is ‘The Squirrel’.
Superb.

Cameraless

Well… its been around a week or so since I sold on my camera (Fuji S7000 – left) in preparation for my new arrival – either a Canon 20D or 30D.
It can’t come quick enough to be honest.
I should get it just in time to spend next weekend walking in Wales for a few days, and hopefully bring back a lot of new shots for my Landscape, Panoramic and Nature photography sections. Fingers crossed!
The Fuji has been a very good camera, producing a stack of, without sounding too smug, stunning pics as you can see from my photo sections (tabs at top of this site) on a variety of subjects. It never missed a beat, always performed as it should, was a great tool to learn on/with and has been superb value for money.
The S7000 was replaced with the S9500 last year which is another great camera from the Fuji stable (that too is shortly to be replaced by the awesome looking Fuji S6500fd which will have face detection hardware to enable the camera to recognise faces and optimise settings to get the best photograph in just 0.04 seconds!) – but it’s time to move on up to DSLR now.
I’m sure I’ll be posting pics of my new toy soon!

Cnicht & Moelwyn Mawr
Posted on July 12, 2006, by Darren, under Personal, Photography, Walking.
I completed Cnicht and Moelwyn Mawr peaks at the weekend (tick those off the list), and although not the biggest peaks in North Wales, they proved to be good ‘fall back’ routes.
I also managed to get 3-4 decent panoramics out of it too… which I’m in the process of putting together at the moment (right & panoramics section).

Hello?
I’ve been a little bit busy recently (no not on my PSP) with work, creating the Express & Star’s new World Cup 2006 website; Star-Backhome.
I have a week or so to catch up on other work, before I start work on a micro site for this year’s V-Festival – along with a host of new/revamped MNA sites later in the year. Phew.
Anyway, I’ve added some more pics to the site, mainly Panoramics and Landscapes. I plan to add a lot more images today and tomorrow, including a load of free downloadable stuff to the Goodies section.
Yum.
