New lens
I've got a nice new wide angle lens to play with - the Sigma 10-20mm lens. I was debating getting the Nikon wide lens but the Sigma fits in well with my Nikon 18-200mm lens and a couple of guys at work also have the 10-20mm and rave about it. So far so good but I haven't played with it much yet preferring to use the 18-200mm and the flash unit for Christmas Day photography.

Found
When we visited the
Photographers gallery in
June, one of the exhibitions was a series of images and letters from
Found, Ohio and Useful Photography. I've been subscribed to the
Found RSS feed for a while now, and today I found my own find.
This strip of photos was resting by a doorstep at the bottom of our street. I left the photos where they rested and just snapped a photo with my phone. Later this evening when I walked along the road the photos had moved from their resting place and were in the middle of the road. I want them to continue their journey unimpeded.

Nikon speedlight SB-800
I've just bought a
Nikon Speedlight SB-800 flash unit for my Nikon D80. I found it at
UK Digital Cameras and was really impressed with their service - rapid delivery, a phone call to let me know it was on its way. I've put batteries on it, attached it to the camera and taken some test shots but I'm still rather intimidated by the fact that it comes with a 125 page manual. Hopefully I'll find time to read, review and try it out over the Christmas holidays.

Schmap Brighton
I was contacted a while ago about whether I would give permission for
this image to be included in the new version of
Schmap for
Brighton. I, of course, said yes and it is now included in the
Live Music section illustrating Koba.
Richard also has
an image on
Schmap Brighton - his is of the
