Week 26 - taken during one of my lunchtime walks - I was getting the hang of the 'Flexizone focusing' on the G9. http://www.monomagic.co.uk/gallery.php?gallery=paw/2008&image=2008-week26-1.jpg Week 27 - Wind turbine - we had the opportunity to visit a local wind farm. The weather wasn't very kind, but I got a few OK shots - M8, CV 15mm. http://www.monomagic.co.uk/gallery.php?gallery=paw/2008&image=2008-week27-1.jpg Week 28 Rome! - I figured this would work better in B&W. http://www.monomagic.co.uk/gallery.php?gallery=paw/2008&image=2008-week28-1.jpg Week 29 Florence. http://www.monomagic.co.uk/gallery.php?gallery=paw/2008&image=2008-week29-1.jpg The holiday was quite an adventure (for us). A bit of a grand tour of Italy by Train. We took the Eurostar from London to Paris, the overnight 'Palatino' from Paris to Rome, where we spent four nights. Then it was off to Florence for three nights, before spending some time with My sister and brother-in-law who have a house in the Piemonte region. Finally, we took a TGV from Turing to Paris, then Eurostar back to London. All in all, it was great fun and we travelled as light as possible. My camera outfit comprised a Canon G9, a bunch of SD cards and a Jobo Giga-one hard disk. Comments, criticisms welcome as always.
