Regular readers to my blog will realise things have been very, very quiet recently, and for this I apologise. I have always tried to be consistent with updating this blog, as I really do enjoy answering your questions and writing inspiring and useful articles, but sometimes, life just gets in the way. I hope to get back into the routine of weekly blog posts soon, so please bear with me.

You need to be able to use the camera like an extension of your hand, to change settings without thinking and understand its abilities and limitations without taking a single photo.
It’s for this reason that I have been shooting lots in the last month or so, getting to better understand this new camera.
