Airfix 1/600 scale plastic model I built as a teenager, shown during her final mission, Christmas 2006, in the waters of a Long Island cove. Note reflections of clouds and trees.
I love to go a wandering down the woods with the camera. Sometimes I just travel light and take one camera and the lens it has on. Today's uploads were all taken with my Canon EOS M and the 18-55mm kit lens. It was a great little camera but after getting an offer I couldn't refuse I sold it. Not got round to replacing it yet though....
Update: On further investigation, it seems that all but the first shot were taken using my 50mm EF lens, the "Plastic Fantastic" or "Nifty Fifty" as it is otherwise known. That'll explain all the shallow dof and creamy bokeh then...
