Sony 16mm f/2.8!

Was lucky enough to get my hands on a Sony 16mm f/2.8 to play and test out. I spent most of the week giving it a good go in loads of different places and subjects. I think its a stunning lens and when coupled with the Alpha 65 the results are vibrant and sharp - oh and huge res with the 24MP! Love it!
The day shots are from a walk up Old Winchester Hill with Kayleigh and the others are from Boggy's birthday evening!

Farleigh Down Siding - Urbexing

After a long day at work me, Mark, Rich and Nath, another Sony Trainer, decided to head off Urbexing all night. We decided to go to Monkton just next to Bath to try and discover the old WWII ammunition tunnels which stretch for miles. After two failed attempts to bricked up entrances in old barn style buildings and being charged at by a herd of cows we managed to find the sloping entrance to the tunnels. Once inside we found the main conveyor belt tunnel and began our trek to the end. Its 2km long and just big enough for me to stand up straight inside. I have to say there is something creepy about being the guy at the back of the party when you cant see anything after the dark swallows your flash lights beam. We were out from 7pm - 520am.

The entrance at 3am

Swanage Climbing!

Had a day off so headed to Swanage for a lil climbing with the old man! Was a wicked chance to try out comparison footage between the GoPro HD1 & HD2 and also the new WiFi BacPac. I found the WiFi BacPac really useful as Dad didnt know how to use the GoPro very well so I stuck it on his head and then controlled his camera with the WiFi Remote, attached to my wrist. Made using two GoPro's really really easy!
