It's been a while since my last post. The last couple of months I didn't have enough time to post here. I did a lot of traveling (visiting 10 countries since my last post) and there was my Bachelor graduation project at Aerospace Engineering, which meant two months of really hard work. It was a lot of fun, though. In a group I had to design a camera that fits in a Nanosatellite (A satellite the size of a milk carton) and that has a 400 mm to take high resolution images of the earth. As a photographer, it was really interesting to learn a lot more about optics and sensors, and I had the opportunity to work with some professional lens design programs (Code V), which was really interesting.
Anyway, now I'm back. I have taken more than 3000 pictures in the last months, so expect a lot of new pictures here . Here's a picture from Paris, it's the Notre Dame during sunrise (I arrived in Paris early in the morning). I blended two images in Photoshop to get this result:

One of many pictures I shot of this Red Admiral butterfly, following it around the local vetch patch last Sat. Shot with the New 70-300.
Even though it is not a Macro lens, it still has remarkable close-up capability on larger insects. Decent image size at 59".

Here's one from the Whistler Village. This is the Olympic Circle, the spot where medals were awarded during the 2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver.
Yes we climbed the mountains - my father is the person in one photo. When we climbed it rained and when we stayed at the pub it was sunny!
On the last day my soles came off my boots and so I have had to buy a new pair for Wales. I will not be doing much walking as I am there with the wife and daughter who would much prefer shopping.
Oh, you mean it was your father sitting on the mountain? He seem'd to be reading a newspaper and I was like that is an epic way to read a newspaper.
Take your family on a boat ride, and don't forget to take your camera on the boat.. I remember there were so many off-shore windmills and it looked pretty amazing.
Great stuff all and really nice to see a few old names back.
