Took my new C300 for a spin in the gorgeous surrounds of Edinburgh's West End, in the dying embers of the northern summer: there's something magical about the fading light hitting the sandstone tenements. As a side note - pretty sure I'm in love with this camera!

After nearly a year of happily working with the limitations of the C100, I finally upgraded my main camera. And, as expected, the C300 blew me away - so I thought do a 'contrast and compare', recreating one of my first shoots at Corstorphine Hill (with thanks to my incredibly patient wife). Probably the biggest difference? Her bump is now a baby! Looking at these images side by side, though, the main thing I see is... a better camera operator! More consistent exposure, keeping the aperture in the sweet spot, steadier hands, more imaginative framing, etc etc. And, much more subtle grading - thank you, CLog3 - I love you forever! Can't wait to strain at the limitations of this camera - feel like we're still a fair way from that, though.

Experimented with my father-in-law's old prime lens on a winter's day at Portobello, with mixed results: it caught some amazing light, but struggled with infinity focus at wider apertures. Plus the adapter added about 1.5x the focal length. Certainly not an all-the-time lens.
