In the interests of travelling light and less conspicuously, I've switched cameras, so I don't have the wonderful — and luminously obvious — Canon 300 mm, which would have been ideal. I promise I'll try hard, though :^)pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14677243.post-81955301786762692522011-08-12T11:45:46.923+12:002011-08-12T11:45:46.923+12:00Glad to see a post here, Pete.
