5 D Mark II has arrived.
Well I got the call today to tell me that my new camera order has arrived. After about 4 weeks overdue, with Canon failing to deliver as expected, and not sending out just bodies, but mainly kits, which meant they were not thinking about us current canon owners.

Tonimbuk Endurance Horse Event
Just completed uploading to my other web page (smug mug), the shots from the International Equestrian Endurance event that I just did the shoot of.
