Walking in the Snow

For the past year, me and my brother in law have been doing some pub crawling walks across Norfolk and Suffolk. We've done 7 in all so far, and the aim is to visit 5 pubs on a Saturday afternoon, trekking across footpaths. James is very much in to his writing, and obviously I like to take the odd picture or two, so it's been a good adventure for us both, as we've been documenting it through our own favourite ways. There's talk of turning this into a book, but for now, the aim is to complete 12 before the end of the this year. We set out this weekend around Eaton, Little Melton and Hethersett. My brother lives in that area, so he tagged along too. I also purchased the new Canon 6d, so was a good chance to test it out. It feels very similar to the Canon 60d I use for work, but does perform better, and the performance in low light was very noticeable. Here are a few photos from last weekend.

Canon EF 28mm f2.8

I got a copy of a Canon EF 28mm f2.8 for my 500d this weekend, so took it out and about to see how it was (it was purchased second hand, so you never know what it will be like). My cat's are very poor at posing for pictures, they're not really fans of me sticking a camera in their face, this little fella didn't seem to mind as I photographed him crawling his way up our hill though. Very nice lens, more comfortable to use as a walkaround prime lens on a cropped sensor comparted to the "nifty-fifty" I own. Still worked very well, considering I looked up the manufactures code to see when it was made, and happened to be 1988!
