This morning I hacked the snow off my car windscreen and drove to Wimbledon Park to snap some shots of the snow on my Canon 7D. The UK is currently experiencing some pretty cold and icy weather.

I found some very cautious swans crossing the frozen lake, and put together this video montage trying to capture the moment.

So I’ve blogged/bragged about my mates band The Brothers Streep before, but that was way back in November 2006. They’ve grown in band members AND groupies since then, but their latest feature on national television here in the UK should hopefully take them one step closer to global domination.

Last night my wife and I went to see Jon Hopkins at Hall One, Kings Place. Who is Jon Hopkins? What is the significance of Hall One, Kings Place?

Let me break that down for you.

I’ve had my Canon 350D for about 3 years now, and it’s served me well, but it was getting tired.

As I’ve developed more and more of an interest in photography I’ve been looking for an upgrade. Since the launch of the Canon 5D Mark II I’ve been saving pennies to get hold of it. It’s a SIGNIFICANT upgrade. Then the Canon 7d was released.
