Well its raining out side, so can't really test out the new camera, so I thought I would see what I could find in the house to take a picture of. A box of straws and a small led light, I put the straws on top of the led light, and after a little editing in lightroom I got this. And...

What hobbies do you enjoy doing in your spare time. I like photography and cycling, when I'm not at work, I will take the camera with me and go on a bike ride, or if I know its going to be a clear sky, then try and get a sunset photo. I also like editing pictures on the computer using...
