pure roon

I have had these photos for nearly a year now and done nothing with them, suddenly at half 11 in the evening I got the inspiration for a collection.

Venice was a fantastic city architecturally however it was extremely overcrowded which damaged some of it’s mysticism. There was so much rubbish around it got hard to look past it. Thats why I decided to go for this rather subdued look for these photos. Some of these have people’s faces in but noone is smiling.

It is here, arrived at work today and even though I haven’t really had chance to play with it, I have taken one photo:

That is the first photo taken with the new D200. I hadn’t even played with any of the settings, I took it straight out of the box, clipped on a lens and shot.

Off to France now for a cousin’s wedding but I will have a few days first to play around with it. Hopefully I will have something worthwhile to show when I get back!

This collection was taken whilst on an Easter Break with my family down in Sheringham, Norfolk. It snowed almost all the time whilst we were there, but only settled early in the morning.

These were taken early on Easter Morning. I was only awake because I was sharing a room with my Dad who decided to wake up really early to go and get the papers. Not having either my watch or phone to hand I automatically jumped out of bed went and had a shower and got dressed. It wasn’t until I put my watch on I realised it was still only 7am!

So rather that waste the morning doing nothing my parents kindly gave me a lift to some nearby woods to take some pictures. It was a bit dark though, so I am not overly happy with them, but snow in England only comes round once in a while and I had to make the most of it!

I am excited! I am getting a new camera tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it!

I have been using a Nikon D50 for nearly 2 years now and it is about time to upgrade as I am just not happy with the results it produces. The D50 suffers really badly in low light conditions and after I went on a photo shoot with Naomi Broady, the up and coming Tennis player, it is pretty rubbish at sports photography too. It just can’t keep up! The delay between the camera focusing and being allowed to press the shutter is just too long and if your subject is moving towards or away from you then it’s gonna be out of focus.

So back to the upgrade, as the new Nikon D300 is coming out prices on the D200 have fallen quite a bit so I have decided it is time to get into the profesional range. I was tempted by a D80 which is the simplified version of the D200, but I thought that in a years time I will just end up with the same problems I have been having with the D50.

So as I am getting a new camera I thought this would be a good opportunity to get out some photos out, some of which have been waiting to be processed for months!

So here are a couple from Sheringham, whilst on an Easter break with my parents:
