Back from Honeymoon

Posted by Paul McConnon Fri, 20 Apr 2007 14:18:00 GMT

Just back from our trip round China that we went on for our honeymoon. Had a whale of a time. It was like being on 7 holidays packed into one. We saw soooo much, dipped into local culture saw some amazing sights and took a tonne of photos (1500, thank the FSM for cheap Gb memory cards!)

We’ve cut the number down to about 700 keepers, still far too many to stick em all on the web.

I have copied a selection of them here so have a look.

Also we came off the Great Wall the fast way! We could have walked another 45 mins to get back to our bus but instead chose to go via Zipwire in 45 seconds…

Eclipse Photos

Posted by Paul McConnon Sun, 04 Mar 2007 16:31:00 GMT

Spent a few hours freezing my arse off getting pictures of the Lunar eclipse last night.

Ended up taking about 140 pics as getting a good shot was very hit and miss.

My Fuji S700, while a good camera, had difficulty picking up an image of the moon in the viewfinder during full eclipse. A digital SLR would have been great.

Anyways, here are a few of the ones that turned out well.
