@Kelly: thanks for your compliments! Yes, I take all the pictures on this blog - that is actually the point of this blog.
@The Photodiarist: I don't normally talk about technical matters because I don't think that they are important but here you are.
* In terms of bodies: - for my daily work, like this blog, I use a Lumix GF1 which replaced a now deceased Canon 300D. - for paid work, I use a Canon 5D.
* In terms of lenses: - my three main lenses are a Carl Zeiss/Contax 28mm/2.8; a Carl Zeiss/Contax 50mm/1.7; a Carl Zeiss/Contax 135mm/2.8 and a Canon 50mm/1.8. I can use these three lenses on both bodies with an adapter. They are manual focus / stop down. - on the Lumix, I also use a 18-45mm zoom that came with it (it has optical stabilisation so I can take night shots). - on the Canon, I also use a 50mm/1.8 which is not very good optically (especially compared wiht the Zeiss) but which is auto-focus & some clients sadly demand auto-focus.
Wow, that's an amazing photo! Did you take these? Sorry for my ignorance, lol.
