This was supposed to be a trip to Rowland’s Castle, but the railways let me down – sure there was a replacement bus service which I’m sure would get me to Rowland’s Castle, but back again ? Anyway instead of heading off there, I ended up in Havant with the best option there being a quick trip to Hayling Island :-

Where’s The Canon 1DS IV?

All I can say is that it is about time it came out … indeed it is long overdue given the old Ds is now nearly 4 years old. The old Canon 1DS III is looking a little long in the tooth now in comparison to Nikon and other full-frame cameras – 21megapixels as compared to 24.5megapixels in the Nikon DX3. Of course high pixel counts are overrated, but for instance the DX3 is capable of recording relatively low-noise images at far higher ISO ratings than the 1DS3.

So where is it ? Of course there is a great deal of resistance to jumping ship and moving to Nikon from Canon because of the large investment in lenses that many of us have made. But sooner or later people are going to ditch Canon in favour of Nikon, so Canon needs to bring out the 1DS IV pretty sharpish.

Of course I am only interested because the new camera will cause the prices of second hand 1Ds IIIs to drop through the floor and I’ll be able to pick one up for a reasonable price to replace my 1Ds I 🙂

I have been to this place at least a couple of times, but always to get onto the South Downs. Time I had a look at the seafront – what you can find with the industrial buildings stopping you get close! As usual, pictures speak louder than words …

I have been going to Swanmore Lake and the downs north of it for years now, and last week visited it again to see what images I could come up with :-

Lurking Cloud

I’ve made images of this little valley before, but this time I had the luck to have this little cloud trying to hide behind the trees – sorry cloud, but you need a bit of a diet to hide here properly!
