I’ve had quite a few people asking me how my new Nikon D90 camera is going, and even more asking to see photos. I find it heartening to know that people are interested in this camera, it’s a pleasure to be able to share my interests with like minded individuals Just wish I could deliver!

All my life I’ve been a point n’ shooter, I’ve never understood (or wanted to understand) the technicalities of taking great photos. So the photos I am taking right now are all test shots.

If the Matrix existed, I would plug into him and try to capture even a tiny amount of his knowledge, skill and genius. Received 3 photography books from Book Depository yesterday. Free worldwide shipping btw, and excellent prices. Highly recommend this online store if you’re as sick of Amazon as I am. Got these books: Understanding Shutter Speed by Bryan Peterson The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby The Digital...

Losing so much weight in just over a year is pretty cool, everyone tells me how great I look, and I definitely feel a lot more healthy… but as I have quickly discovered, I feel the cold so much more. So much so, I’m wearing so many layers right now, I am positive I look like a bloody polar bear Oh well, atleast I have a new pair of fingerless gloves, which will come in very handy when I get the new camera… Which will be, a Nikon D90. Just got to decide between these two options: 1. Nikon D90 + 4.0gb card  + 18-105mm + Nikon 50mm f1.8 D + Lowepro Cirrus 140 2. Nikon D90 + 4.0gb +...
