Ade McCabe
Balance.
A couple of welcome days away touring around North Wales and Anglesey. Worked our way to South Stack for sunset before heading to Church Bay for a lovely meal in The Lobster Pot.
I felt like I was spending too much of my time doing photography related stuff and needed a break away from the constant monitoring of weather, planning, and to be quite honest Flickr was getting a little on top of me too. Throw in being fed up of rubbish weather, a couple of expensive trips away that resulted in zero images, fuel prices, a general malaise and I decided to have a little time away. Everything in moderation and all that.....So I'm now a week into Couch to 5k and have been to the driving range a good few times, ( happy to report that Ade still goes right and still insists it's a controlled fade rather than a slice.)
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the addition of the Nikon Z7ii. I ordered it back in November from Wex and it still wasn't in stock mid March so I ended up cancelling and taking a risk with Panamoz. Arrived within 6 days, clear tracking all the way and I'm more than happy with the service and UK warranty.
I must admit to a little GAS going on but as I'm chief kit carrier there was also an element of necessity. I was leaving lenses at home to accommodate the F-Mount gear that Helen has been using and was hauling round a 65litre rucksack instead of my camera bag. All fits back in one camera bag now and weight has gone from 12kgs down to a much more manageable 8kgs with Helen having the all important brew making kit and food in hers.
Sold all my F-Mount gear to a friend but kept the 16-35mm. I'll probably rarely use it but it's such a great lens I couldn't part with it.
Hope you're all having a great weekend.
