Lens Protection and UV Filters

I had a bit of an accident last night that nearly wrote off a £1000 lens. I was out in the Meon valley and had just set my tripod, D300 and Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 IF ED G DX lens to take some shots. The tripod was sturdy so I turned to get my Lee filters out. I hear a thud. I turn round and some soil had shifted causing the tripod to topple over and land lens first down into the crops.

For the last couple of days I have been out camping in Somerset with my photography buddy Jake. We were camping at a fantastic campsite, Moorhouse Farm. The owners were really nice, the scenery was great and there was potentially hundreds of possible photographic shots around the farm itself, but due to health and safety we wouldn't of been able to shoot most of them.

Just a quick entry to say that some little wannabe script kiddie managed to find a vulnerablility in my site recently and decided to replace all my print titles.

Well its been a bit of hectic week, let alone weekend. We've been moving office at work which has involved dismantling a number of desks and transporting them, along with filing cabinets and metal shelving cupboards etc down two flights of stairs. That totally finished me off thursday and friday.

Sunrise Trip to Maiden Castle, Dorchester

This morning I went out aiming to capture the first sunrise that I have done in months. Thanks to a tip from a friend over at deviantart, I headed out to Dorchester at 3am to head up Maiden Castle for some sunrise shots of the local landscapes.

Miserable Weather

info@photography-prints.co.uk (Justin Kercher) — Wed, 4 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Photography seems to be a no go at the moment. The weather has been absolutely abysmal! In fact its rained so much over the weekend that our back garden was 2 inches under water in the lawn areas. Also a few rivers have burst their banks round the forest. I did venture out and catch a few shots of a search and rescue jeep sloshing through 3 foot of water in Brokenhurst last night, but apart from that there's nothing to shoot in this light.
