sailorette’s diary - a diary writen by a sailorette for her loved ones to read after returning safely home from sea

Now that the dollar is $1.99 to the pound, a trip to america can be used to great efficiency. So on our recent visit to Florida, visiting my Grandpa and Uncle, we put some time aside to consume.

The new canon 16-35mm f/2.8L lens was recommended by Mr Tom Hostler. A lens to give the landscape photographer their full fix. It’s these L lens’ wide-angle that make them so special. On a frame like my Canon 400D, they’re noticeable, but on an wider frame like the 2D, they operate similar to the human eye. So the shot you take will be closer to what you actually see than on a regular lens.

As we’re planning a 2 week trip to Lord of the Rings land, New Zealand, I seized the opportunity to purchase a lense of such caliber, and at over £500 less than the U.K.R.R.P.

So how does it fair? I’ll let you know when I’ve tried it on some magnificent scenery.

I’m a very lucky girl!

Over half a year ago, I broke my very shit and over-expensive casio digital camera. Since then I have been taking pictures in my mind. Click click, goes my mind almost every other day.

That is not why I am lucky.

My lovely Nico just gave me my christmas present early. And it was the rather nice Canon 400D. Check out my flickr where there will be much more sophisticated, and brilliant photos coming soon…I promise, and so does miss 400D.
