I spent last Friday afternoon doing something I’ve wanted to do forever – skydiving! Well, in this case, it was simulated in a vertical wind tunnel but as you’ll see, it’s pretty close to the real thing: Out in Delta, Fly Zone Body Flight, gives visitors a chance to experience the feeling of free fall…

Hopefully I’ll get a chance to make it a hat trick next year. There were apparently something in the neighbourhood of 6000 geeks in attendance. I wonder how…

Hmmm.. I have the Nikon 50mm 1.8… what’s the advantage of getting a 35mm 1.8?
Thanks John!
It’s just a wider prime…I’m finding I prefer to use faster primes than much slower zooms lately (can’t even remember the last time I put a zoom on my camera). At it’s price point, it’s cheap enough to have one in my bag.
I also have a 50mm f1/4 lens which is my second favorite lens after my fisheye.
