I haven't posted for a few weeks - partly because I've been preoccupied
with work (the department I work in has just been outsourced) and we've
been on our summer holidays.
Week 26 - taken during one of my lunchtime walks - I was getting the
hang of the 'Flexizone focusing' on the G9.

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.

Week 28 Rome! - I figured this would work better in B&W.

Week 29 Florence.

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.
All the best
Mark
