Bobcock in India (with a new camera......)
The first post will be for a single picture only.....
So, I finally got to make my long awaited return to India. It was 25 years since I was last there and I was so looking forward to it.
I wasn't disappointed, India is still magnificent and I'm pleased to say I was able to fart with confidence the whole trip.
I took over 4000 photographs over the 11 days I was there and I'm buggered if I'm putting up all of the 600 I have processed.....I'll put a selection of good ones, if you want to see more you'll have to go to my website when I've uploaded them there, which will happen over the next 24 hours.
Anyway, before I went I felt I was due a new camera. I was going to buy the Canon 1Dx, but after really getting deep into it I decided on the Canon 5D MkIII. I already had the Mk II but this things is a dramatic upgrade and far far superior. The 1DX has the same guts but with 2 processors is capable of 12 fps, I settled for the slower 6fps. The other advantage to the 1Dx is the build quality but at half the price I decided to go with the 5D and buy myself a beautiful new lens (or two), the magnificent 24-70 L2.8. Truly the best lens I have ever had the privilege of touching.
Oh and no, I'm not Stickman who did an excellent photospread on Kolkata and was there a couple of days after me (I think).......
Anyway, before I went I had preplanned a shot I wanted to take, from the back of a Kolkata taxi, the famous Hindustan Ambassador.
So this shot, which I'm very pleased with is the first photograph taken with my new camera....
