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.

Read more about the Nikon D200 here.

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:

I have had these photos since April, and I have only just finally sorted through them and picked out the ones I like so here are some of them:

I went to visit my parents for Christmas this year and we went for a walk down the River Cam on Boxing Day.

Hmm, I really haven’t written anything in a while, sorry been rather busy at work…

Anyway, the other night my mate Bill and I decided to go up to Rivington Quarry, near Bolton on the edge of the Pennines just to watch the sunset and get some photos.

As we parked up I had a great view down the road we had just come up into the sunset, but getting a good photo of it was a little more tricky. The best one came from crouching in the bushes at the side of the road

Now this next one really caught my eye, it is Widnes Power Station, but the smoke and haze give a great effect, and I thought it was quite appropriate due to all the recent media hype about greenhouse gasses.

One other favorite from the trip has to be this one, just simply the last few seconds of the sunset from behind a festive tree
