New Camera!
 

With all the £££'s I've saved from stopping smoking, I went out and got another camera the other day!

Now, in addition to my Nikon F65 SLR and Fuji compact digital, I now have a Nikon D50 D-SLR. I opted for that over the very similar spec'd Minolta cos the lenses I have for my "ordinary" SLR fit and work on the D50! Bonus!!

:( Still learning how to "drive" it yet, so it may be a while before there's any posts from it!

I had no real reason to post this, other than to SHOW OFF!! (Yup, that's 7 whole weeks with no ciggies!!)

DM

Woo hoo for you!!!!!!!!!

Excellent stuff....being a non-smoker is already reaping its rewards then! A new camera and a healthier body! Fantastic.

Great job DM383 - that's an accomplishment worth bragging about.

Great job DM! :) I have tried to quit more times than I can count!
Sounds like a great camera.Can't wait to see what it produces :D

Congratulations on the smoking and on the new camera. We'll be looking forward to pictures of the new you and the camera. :) Been over eight years for me and I'm glad.

dm383,

Congratulations sir. Well done. It is well worth the effort.

Superb!!!

Congrats on the camera and the smoking cessation! When ya learn the good tips on your camera maybe you could pass me some tips for mine! LOL Damn thing's got more buttons and dials than a jet!.... :confused:

Pics
 

Well, these are the first few pics from my new camera - hope you like.

The first one is of an Episcopalian Church I pass when I take my daughter to school; this was "snatched" out the car window, just before the lights changed!!

This one is of blocks of flats (apartments?) that are part of the area where I work. (At one time, they were the highest accommodation buildings in Europe!)

My daughter took this while we were parked at the side of the road.

This is one of a few I took while I was waiting for my daughter to get her pony ready....... the farrier knew I was there, but his concentration never faltered for a second.

Kinda important, as the shoes are about 800°F at this point!

Last one for now
 

This one I took on on Monday night...... I saw the sunset as I was driving to do herself's horses. I took it just as I my grip on the barbed wire fence was starting to go, hence it's a bit blurred! (Ripped two fingers a bit, too, but c'est la vie!!)

Hope to get some others re-sized in the next day or two.

Pretty!!!

DM, the pictures are great. ;)

The church and sunset are awesome (the others are great, too) & congrats on quitting fags!
