T O T K a t

Another picnic! This time by the river in Putney. And it just so happened there was this here boat race going on...

It was a nice and sunny day, if a little chilly for a summer dress and bare legs when the sun went behind a cloud. Goldie won the first race and Cambridge the main race. All in all rather exciting even if we only saw the first 30 seconds or so as we were at the start of the race course and had to listen to the rest on the radio.

I was very glad to be able to take my camera for walkies again, though I'm starting to really want 2 more lenses to go with the all-purpose Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens. The Image Stabilisation is nice and the focusing is rather quick, but it just isn't tele or macro enough. So, at the macro end I'm looking at the Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 macro lens but that's a bit pricey for a start (and a bit slow on focusing, but then for macro stuff I generally don't need it to be quick. And I've not even begun to look at telephotos.
