More from my new lens

My mum picked me up from work last week as i finished earlier and we popped down the river with the dog..i took a few pictures with my new lens..just messing around and practicing..i need to get used to a fixed focus and the fact its marco..a whole new way of photography for me.

I snapped this shot of my mum aswell which i was really pleased with..although she was being goofy and pulled this cheesy grin..

An she snapped this horrible one of me...i really do hate having my picture taken but i think you can really see how much me and my little brother perry look alike in this photo..its all in the cheeks and lips!

When we got home i just messed around with it and had go at shooting some close up (marco) stuff..just abit of fun.

I got a new lens and it WAS halloween!

A couple of weeks ago we finally sold my grandads old car splitting the money between me and my brother as my grandad wanted us too. I decided to buy a new lens for my camera with the money..something that i know i'll get plenty of use out of and something im sure my grandad would approve for me buying. I bought a crumpler bag for my camera,lens and accesories to go in aswell because ive been carrying my camera around in whatever bag i happen to have on me.

The day after i got the money i decided to pop into melgrays and pick up both things on my lunchbreak..i was so excited i spent the rest of my lunchbreak in the staffroom at work taking pics of my coke bottle and stacks of magazines...how sad!!

Anyway..by the time i got home the day i bought it..which just happened to be halloween..it was already dark,so i couldnt get outside and experiment. I snapped a couple of shots of everyone at the house..my bro,lucy and the kids came round for some trick or treating fun.

Ty enjoyed the apple bobbing that my mum set up..had to take his glasses off to do it..and get his head in the water :) but he loved it and did well..he had 2 goes!!
My mum and dad had a go aswell...

And i snapped a quick picture of Lola & Ty together in their halloween costumes.
