...what am I to do? After a six week period when I didn't consider picking up the camera, I finally forced myself off my big, fat @rse (well, not so big and fat since taking up the new diet) and I took myself and my slightly dusty EOS7D out to our local National Trust gardens and put it to some use. I have fallen in love with my trusty Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 again. All that lovely, creamy, dreamy bokeh... I was quite happy with some of the results (I have added five pictures to the Plants and Flowers gallery). It is also the first time outsince upgrading the firmware to the latest version. Can I say that if you haven't done this for your EOS7D yet, you really must? It has a plethora of improvements including in-camera editing for Raw photographs and a vastly improved burst rate. I won't tell you everything because you can read about it here. If you aren't sure how to upgrade your EOS 7D firmware then fear not because Canon tell you how to do it in a handy pdf document that comes down as part of the firmware package when you download it. Go on! Give it a whirl! If you are really that worried then have a chat to your local camera emporium because they will surely be able to do it for you.
