I have always loved the Vulcan since I was a kid, I have fond memories of seeing it fly at air shows my father took me too years ago, before it lost the airworthiness certificate. Thanks to the magnificent work of the people at Vulcan to the Sky XH558 is flying again, and for her fiftieth birthday too! I attempted to see a display last year at the Bournemouth air show, but sadly the flight had to be cancelled. This year my luck was in however, and at Farnborough Air show I once again got to see her fly. Amazing stuff!

This is one of my all time favorite shots from any airshow I’ve been too. Chuffed with this, although the mofo lens I rented did most of the work.

I’ve been trying to get some closeups of Edwards hands and feet while he is still small. The problem is, he waves them around so much that getting the shot framed and in focus before the limb is flung around into a another position is non trivial!

I got one of these for my birthday.

It outputs NMEA format files, which I  normally convert into the more widely used GPX files, using GPSBabel. Once I have my GPX file I use the excellemt GPSPhotoLinker to embed the GPS coordinate information into the EXIF of my photos.

I setup  a blog just before Edward was born so we could upload some pics as he grows up, I managed a few updates in the first couple of weeks and then became ill so I forgot about it. It turns out my lovely wife has indeed been taking many pictures of him and updating the blog. You can find it here.
