Calling on the collective experience of the talent and experience in this thread! :smile:

My current set up is very 'entry' level:

Canon 1100D
18-55 EFS IS
50mm 1.8 mkII
75-300mm EF Zoom

My question is, if I had some funds to put into my hobby would you upgrade the body at this point or continue to invest in Glass? I've been fancying the new Canon 70D, especially as I want to move into taking video.

A beach on the west coast of the Isle of Coll.

Bit crowded innit!
 
Whilst I was cleaning the chain on my bike(after removing it) I was sitting in the sun working through each link in turn and my attention was drawn to the budlea tree to the side of the house. It is not a large budlea, but today could not have had less than 60 butterflies on it - a second smaller one a few metres away seemed to have just as many. Mostly peacocks, but some large white, some small white, a painted lady or two, a small tortoiseshell, a couple of meadow heaths and several comma butterflies.

What struck me more than anything were the shear numbers of peacock butterflies all of the same size & age, so I guess we have had a really sucessful caterpillar population this year as well!

Not great shots by any means, just taken on my small point and shoot compact. May be tomorrow or Saturday (weather & butterflies permitting I will get the big camera out and play).
