I'm rather rapidly adding to my photography equipment, and on top of my new macro lens, now have a Sigma EM-140 DG TTL Macro Ringlight Flash, but am still awaiting arrival of the 52mm adaptor! Meanwhile my husband has been using it and enjoying it - at least with both of us having Canon EOS models, we are interchangeable, so that makes me feel better about spending the money some of the time! lol!

Interestingly this week, I watched a Canon equivalent to the Sigma Flash I now have, go bye-bye on e-bay at £260! It was over three years old, obviously second-hand, and only within a few £££ of a brand new one! We were both simply amazed at how well that seller did, but the buyer didn't exactly get a bargain with no warranty etc., and if they'd done their homework properly, they'd have realised this was a silly price! Knowing how crazy last minute bidding can get on eBay, we didn't even enter into the bidding, but it was worth the entertainment of watching it! (USD are approx double the UK £ btw.)

Meanwhile I regret to report that not much has been going on with my landscape photography lately - I've not been at all well in myself, struggling to even sit here at the computer sometimes, as my energy levels are so very low. On top of that, the flowers (which I love doing macro shots with) are giving me sinusitis and hayfever! Ouch!

I intend to get through this bad patch as quickly as possible! Grrrrrr...
