A lakeland friend and his son

[Singing snapper]

I have become friends with the owners of Waterhead coffee shop and this is the owner's son who is home from Sheffield Uni. The overcast conditions yesterday morning actually helped to diffuse the light as I have made few modifications to this shot

This is his dad. I got my Pentax back from Tokyo yesterday morning (at 7.30 am!) and put it through its paces. My excellent 45 - 85 lens needs investigation as it is wobbling a little bit and showing signs of not being as sharp as before it got dropped while on the camera. The repair bill was originally £1685 but came down to £800 as I insisted they didn't change anything for cosmetic reasons -they were charging £800+ for the front and top cover which is scratched from being on a shoulder harness. this doesn't bother me at all as my cameras won't be sold and apart from my 7D all my cameras are well used and look so.

Another shop sat closer in ( I have an annoying tendency to flash my cameras up for candids - not easy with the size of the 645D with a 120mm macro lens on it!
