    Do you really make bread every morning?? Or just the first day of the month?


    I'm taking the rest of the day off to get my FirstView pic!

    Mine was really easy this month - the subjects presented themselves literally right outside my front door.

    If you think you're getting away with that one, you're quackers.

    Thanks chaps. Better not talk 'bout it any more as this is FirstView, not appraisal or exhibition stuff

    I hired this lens specifically for my Wildlife module, but I'm liking it too much already. Very sharp even wide open and I do like the OOF bits. The missus will go bonkers if I don't finish the shower room off this month though Hiring lenses is a slippery slope
