So I've just splashed out on some new camera straps - I'd had enough trying to swing two cameras around at once using a belt clip (which works really well) and a normal shoulder strap. It's tricky trying to keep a camera from swinging off shoulder when using another... and when you're hands are full it's near impossible to catch.

Anyway, enough with the excuses.

Not me.

So yes, you might notice thats not me in the photo. Theres good reason: The thing you noticed before noticing it wasn't me was that he looks like a twat. So I haven't taken a photo of myself to upload. I'm not planning to wear it to social events and I think you're allowed to look like a massive nerd when the photographer at a wedding.

And you will look like a massive nerd regardless how much manly stubble and styled hair you have.

I'll be back with a review at some point.

Just one note to BR - given the straps cost so much (don't tell the wife), can you not afford better camera for the promo shots? The guy on the box is holding an old EOS1 film camera (weirdly coupled with a 50mm F1.2).

How hard can it be?

Right, some people need to get some professionals involved with their wedding photography.

Or if these photos were taken by somebody charging money and claiming to know what they were doing they should be shot.

I've been asked to take some pretty daft photos before but thankfully I've never worked with anyone as mad as the (happy/confused) couples above, yet.

All that being said clearly, they haven't got pictures they can put on the wall (not without guests bursting into laughter on arrival) but they were helping keep the internet a jolly funny place to be.

Do you miss blue skies?

So the weather has been pretty bad recently, for yonks infact. The constant drizzle was starting to get me down, but then I realised there's a place you can go for your blue sky fix!

Estate agents! Adding (badly in most cases) in blue skies in seems to be contagious! Buy any of these houses and it's sure not to rain.

Now what I really like is that in several picture you can still see puddles, presumably they cloned out each rain drop from the still.

If you've found any terrible Photoshop work that upsets you please share! 

For a slightly more realistic view, here's a picture from a dog walk a few weeks back.
