Building work is full steam ahead again there’s brick dust everywhere, finishing the visual diary reviews from Masterclass III and with registration opening for People Imagery I’ve not had time to put much together for Foto Friday so I thought I’d just share a few images with you.
Where do you think this is? I must admit that I think its kinda hot 
Yep …… Beijing Olympics. There’s been lots of discussion on what this lot would cost?
There’s at least 23 cameras – loads of Canon L-Series EF and Nikkor AF-S 500mm super telephoto lenses—each around £6,000 a pop—, a few 400mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm here and there. Let’s assume a conservative average of £4,500 per telephoto lens. Most of them are probably using the biggest and baddest Canon and Nikon cameras, so we can assume an average £5,000 price tag per camera, which brings the grand total to just under a quarter of a million pounds. Crazy !!
Apparently there were 1,100 accredited photographers at the olympics, which we can assume will have more than just one set of lenses and, at least, one secondary camera, just in case the first one breaks or they want to have two different set of lenses ready to shoot at any time. My calculator doesn’t have enough naughts to do that sum.
These shots of the beach huts at Scarborough were taken by Paul on the last Masterclass, he’s a Canon guy but certainly didn’t need anything like the above to capture these awesome shots 
This picture did make me laugh………….
I would like to clarify this lady is not nor has she ever been one of my students
