Cluck, Cluck!

Yesterday my latest photographic toy turned up in the shape of a 100mm macro lens. However I did not get the chance to give it a try until later on this afternoon.

By the looks of things this should be really fun lens to use, both indoors and out. It’s a shame that most of the berries will now be gone with the cold weather.

The photo is of a small metal chicken I gave Mrs Purplesduck as a stocking filler.

A look back over 2007…

The first full year of owning a dSLR and uploading photos to Flickr is now over; plus it’s six months since I started this blog. So a round up of stats for 2007:

  • Photos taken – 1997
  • Uploaded to Flickr – 212
  • Photostream views – 2,236
  • Most viewed Flickr photo – York Minster for the Blind (152 views)
  • Feedburner average subscribers – 9 (unknown via WordPress.com)
  • Readers on LJ – 8

Finally a photo from a flash practice session this afternoon.
