Curiouser and Curiouser

'Curiouser and curiouser!'  he exclaimed, taking me in from his vantage point over the reedbed; one of many migrant hawkers dancing in the afternoon sun. 

Trying to ascertain whether or not I could work the camera in contact lenses - old ones at that, I realised very quickly that the R3 couldn't hack it and neither could I. 10 minutes in with a change of camera - the trusty 5D seemed a better call however I still couldn't see  properly which honestly if you are working a camera is pants. 

Impressed how this camera locked on. I manual focused as best I could on automatic and pressed the shutter and I think because of the backlight the camera saw the shot I wanted.. No way could my old 5D have done this and I was surprised no stunned it managed it - not all the time but sometimes depending on the background. I needed one shot only! 

Been to the gym this morning and watched the royal procession this afternoon through London. I have never watched as much tv as I have done recently. I took a few shots from the television having tried to restrain myself over the last days but just couldn't help it today. Extra marks todays events.
