The KitKat Diaries

A brief account of our latest escapde…………………….

I think I can speak for most seasoned KK’ers that the 2012 trip to Morecambe was in the main a disappointment, the company was good, the Hotel was good, the location was, to be honest a little bit wanting for more to do.

On the back of these trips it was decided that we go to the Lake District (proper) in 2013.

So with the move to digital this was an area of creativity that I was sorely missing. I purchased a wide angle zoom, 17-40mm for my full frame body which was great for landscapes but I needed wider, I needed Fisheye.
