Gorgeous fella, and I'm well jealous! Prefer the colour.

Nice pics too, Canon? If so, what lens?

Oh and that ride on is lovely! Stick it on eBay!

They're £65 from the stealer and a very nice ride on.

Weighs a ton and is clearly well built.

Thanks ;)

I have a Canon 5D MKII with various L lenses.

Those were taken outside the stealer were with a 24-70 2.8L and at home with a 70-200 2.8 IS L MK1

Good bit of kit and of you get it right takes brilliant photos.

Canons always great and the pics also brilliant.

Great day for collection today too, sun was out!

What was your wife's opinion then - it's for her, right!?!

To be honest she was not entirely sure and needs to get used to driving a larger car than the X3

Having gone shopping by herself the smile on her return said it all!

She's happy :)

I've already had that honour and I had to pay :(

You're a Canon man I guess as well?

Same kit as you.....saving for a Mk3 at present.  Use the 5D2 and 'L' lenses for lightning work.

Not sure the MKIII is worth changing the II for at the moment?

It's such a good camera and far better than I will ever need, combined with L lenses it does the lot.

I have played with star trails amongst other genres (motor sport for example)

haven't had much time over the last 6 months due to work, but I'm off to Le Mans Thursday and will hopefully have time to use the 100-400 L in anger.

Enough! I'm not interested anymore, you both take better pics than I ever will!!!!

The London one is beautiful! And the 911 one looks like you fell over and the camera clicked the pic!  :))

Loch one is awesome too - excuse the novice questions (most know I have no talent but have played about with Canon kit) but what lens is used for that pic?
