Sorry for not posting recently. I have been busy but I am still here.

Most notable recent adventures were the Valley of the Kings in Jordan. This was just outstanding. I have also been to France and visited a few places and when I get time I will split the France folder into specific places to make it easier. Amsterdam was great and Basel even on a generally cloudy visit was worthwhile.

In the last six months almost all my photos have been taken with my Canon G7X. Its proven to be a great pocket camera that is just a class above the normal and not far off DSLR. See my page on selecting kit. I did worry that the newer model was going to be better but a chap in B&H in New York said no I had the right one as the G9X is more a "consumer" minded product. So it appears if you are not taking many photos the G9X might be good but if are more serious follow me! Have a look around my recent photos and you will see examples. I generally shoot in Raw but the camera does have some nifty settings that do it all for you and I use them too. Also look at my guide to taking better photos, its not all about the camera!

I am going to focus on Europe for a while as this is an area that I have not explored enough, so if you are new to my blog and web site then hold onto your hat as the future is bright. Basel on a dull day

As always email if you have any thoughts or views.
