Alas I have not been, I managed to get a small hair on my camera‘s sensor. In addition to this something happened to the USB port so I could not transfer any images to my PC. Anyway, I have the camera back, USB still not working but I do have a card reader and some compatible cards now so that I can copy some photos again.

I went down to the promenade as it seemed like quite a nice sunset on the go and I managed to come up with these photos, let me know what you think? I am definitely considering a genuine ultra-wide angle lens to make sure these photos are as good as they deserve to be.

I also took a few shots the other night with my cousins, I wasn’t super impressed with the results but I’m putting them here just for completeness sake :)

I headed down to Camps Bay beach in Cape Town with my camera. I saw this little boy playing on the beach and managed to catch this snap of him. For those of you in the know, you’d know I am not a fan of child photography but I thought this came out too well!

I was testing out a new mode on the Canon 7D which is called “Creative Auto” which has some presets, in this one I intentionally blurred the background as much as possible. I quite like it.
