:eek: lucky boy!

Just got back home after giving out toys to the sick kids in Erne Hospital, just seeing their faces light up just a wee bit made the day for me :)

Now, can relax with a nice corned beef and cranberry sandwich and my new Jeremy Clarkson book :)
 
Some spiky feet for my ancient Manfrotto 055CB, DVD of an old TV series called Murder One, few books and the CD version of "Kiss Alive"

Right old mixed bag, but all good stuff, very awkward for people buying me gifts what with having a birthday on the 22nd.

So cheers to my missus and the kid
 
Merry Christmas.

Photography wise I got a Sigma ring flash, CF card holder & a canvas printing and mounting kit.

Non photography I got a Bose speaker for my iPhone, chocs and some pink VW Bus slippers that seem out to kill me (note to self - take slippers off prior to coming down stairs...).
 
A press association book on photography - awesome
Star Trek DVD
Transformers 2 DVD
Some gloves
Some jumpers
A model car
A D2X
Money for more skyport receivers
 
Present from everyone else 1 box Walnut Whips

Present to myself i1 Display 2 calibrator. What do I think, well my screen was nigh on perfect in the first place so not too sure is it was money well spent, but at least I'm sure colour should be right now.
 
Shot with the camera it replaced....

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS WITH MY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. :love::love:
 
Nothing :(

mostly what I got from family are all stuff for me and my gf for the house. All stuff which I didnt even look at as am not interested.


But from me to me I got the decission to get the 100-400 L instead of getting the 10-22. Now i just have to figure with what money :thinking:

Well my only photography related pressie was the Lee Frost book Night and Low Light Photography, all dvd's and a set of iPod speakers aside from that.
But then my A700, 16-105, Sony 50mm, Sony 11-18 and Tamron 70-300 were really my presents to myself!
and probably going to add a Battery Grip and a a new Back-pack to that......
 
I got an EOS 7D, initial impressions are that it's a significant improvement in terms in handling and performance on my 40D-very pleased. :)
