Just wish I had tidied up the room...
Well there's always a story whenever we press the shutter
isn't there ?
Well the one behind this had a happy ending at least. Jonathan bought me the tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III DXD (model A056) telephoto zoom for Christmas. On bringing it downstairs on Christmas Eve to place under the tree he dropped it from halfway down the stairs whence it bounced from step to step before crash landing onto the wooden hall floor. Better than a broken leg (as I thought wholly possible from the noise )
Well I gathered my wits and tried it out for the first time yesterday in my front room before going a short walk. Unfortunately it had started raining before we even left the car -we still went a walk which in dull dank conditions yielded nothing photographically but I downloaded the few pics anyway to see if anything appeared damaged. Happily no apparent damage and to my amusement I spotted a selfie of myself and my dog Beau right in the centre of a bauble. Taken at the long end of the zoom at f/2.8 I am so far quite pleased as hadn't even been taking macro shots indoors as felt too awful. I loved that the bauble framed the room so perfectly in the center when I had actually been trying for the glittery bauble so had no idea about the selfie.luckily far enough away for me not to hate my own reflection lol...just a test shot but the first in a long while so quite cheering :)
