The News.

Just got back from my recent holiday on Sunday evening! I was on a cruise around the Canary Islands. After a long drive down to Southampton (over 500 miles), we got onto the ship. I was overwhelmed by the size of the ship! It was with Royal Caribbean, the ship was 'Independence Of The Seas' First stop was Madeira, that really was a lovely place. We went up on a cable car right up a big mountain, my mum was terrified :lmao:. The next 3 stops were Tenerife, Gran Canaria & Lanzarote, my favourite was deffonetly Lanzarote =). The next stop on the way up was Vigo, Spain. As we docked we were informed about a "Peaceful demonstration" that was going on outside the port, turns out there was rubber bullets fired and tear gas :O Walking through the streets, there was several burnt out cars and smashed windows. Anyway just thought i'd let you know where i'd been and what i'd been up to :D





My Equipment.


At present, my choice of DSLR is a Nikon D80.

My lens' include:
-Nikkor 18-70
-Nikkor 105 Macro
-Sigma 10-20
-Sigma 70-300
-Sigma 50mm

I do all my post processing in Photoshop CS3 and Aperture 2 on a MacBook! My printer preference is an Epson R360.

At present, my filters include:
- Cokin Tobacco Grad
- Cokin ND
- Cokin ND Grad
- Cokin IR

I hope to upgrade to a Lee filter system soon =)

Hi!
I know this is very late, but I wanted to thank you for the :+favlove: I received from you in August 2008. (almost a year late :blush: ) I've been absent from deviantart recently, but I really appreciate every bit of support.

So thank you once again! :love:
